You know what I had to do? I had to take a pause cooking from Jan Scott‘s newest cookbook Oven To Table. Why? Before you go thinking that it’s for a bad reason, it is actually because her book is so Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Oven To Table”

Book Club Tuesday: Suqar
Suqar means “sugar” in Arabic. And, while sugar certainly gets a bad rap from all the negative health consequences from consuming too much of it, I find the cover of this cookbook very telling. The gorgeous nectarines tell a much Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Suqar”
Book Club Tuesday: Everyday Dorie
I really learned a valuable lesson from Dorie Greenspan‘s newest cookbook, Everyday Dorie. As soon as the book arrived for me to review, I began the way I always do — bookmarking all the delicious and interesting recipes I want Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Everyday Dorie”
Book Club Tuesday: Ottolenghi Simple
Let’s start with something fun — word association! If I say “Ottolenghi” to you what might you say? The word “elegant” may come to mind or “extra” might pop into your head. Most assuredly “ingredients” would be one that most would think of. Yotam Ottolenghi is a person who has changed the way people view food. Difficult to categorize, his style works on the premise that food is all about flavour and unorthodox combinations (prior to receiving Ottolenghi Simple I had made one of his recipes from Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Ottolenghi Simple”
Book Club Tuesday: Platters and Boards
When I was a kid I loved the foods at big family gatherings — little pickles, cubed cheeses, cut fruit and veg, cold cuts, chips, crackers — lots of imagination and a little something for everyone. Sometimes I would stick with the stand-by favs or there were times when I would venture out of my comfort zone Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Platters and Boards”
Book Club Tuesday: Bliss Bites
Change is difficult. It really is! When I was in grade 7 my dad and I made a bet to give up sugar. I can’t even remember the time period we decided on because it seemed like an eternity to me. And just between us, I didn’t make it too long. Thinking back on the situation I remember how acutely I felt the loss of sugar. No gummies, chocolates, cookies, ice cream — no sweet treat of any kind. There is the power of big sugar at work — for some like myself (named the “treat monster” Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Bliss Bites”
Book Club Tuesday: Healthyish
It’s been awhile! Hope everyone had a good start to 2018! I’ve been on a huge break since my last review — I have spent the last couple of months free from my review regime. For those of you who are new to Shipshape Eatworthy what happens here is simple: I receive review copies of cookbooks and then I try at least 10 recipes per cookbook. I posted 27 times in 2017 and 24 of which were cookbook reviews so you do the math. So much cooking. So much. It’s fair to say Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Healthyish”
The Eatworthy 2017 Gift Guide
Happy Friday everyone! Can anyone else believe it’s December already?! I feel like this whole year has gone by in the blink of an eye (maybe it seems this way to me because I have a young child and everyone says time passes by faster when you do). This has been one busy year Continue reading “The Eatworthy 2017 Gift Guide”
