Since I had heard so many wonderful things about Sabrina Ghayour‘s other books (it seems that when I talk cookbooks with people over Instagram, Persiana is often cited in people’s top cookbook lists) I decided to accept the Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Bazaar”
There is a simple joy to be found in cooking food that makes us feel good; feeling grateful and appreciative of the foods that nourish us. While Abbie Cornish and Jacqueline King Schiller‘s new book Pescan outlines Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Pescan”
What is it that home cooks really want? Easy to cook meals that taste delicious! Seems simple enough, right? Are you like me, after flipping through a cookbook (close to or at suppertime) you realize that the recipes will a) take too long, b) you don’t have the ingredients, and c) your child is riding Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: 30-Minute Vegetarian”
