More than any other cookbook this year, Cannelle et Vanille Bakes Simple: A New Way to Bake Gluten-Free is the book I’ve gotten the most DMs about — mostly, people are requesting a review. I know what the concern is: is the gluten-free baking in Aran Goyoaga‘s book good? Being a vegetarian, I can understand what people who eat gluten-free go through because as a vegetarian, the way I eat is seen as Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Cannelle et Vanille Bakes Simple”

Book Club Tuesday: Occasionally Eggs
Even though my husband and I were vegetarians long before my daughter was born, I really didn’t give much thought to what we ate. We were both working outside the home, so most meals were pasta-based, with lots of cheese and a side of bread. Whatever was quick and inexpensive, but between us, Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Occasionally Eggs”
Book Club Tuesday: The Pastry School
Never, in my wildest dreams, did I ever think that I was capable enough to create gorgeous, flowery, and fantastical pastry just like Julie Jones does. Like many, I’ve been following along with each pastry and pasta post that Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: The Pastry School”
Book Club Tuesday: Fraiche Food, Full Hearts
Sometimes cookbooks are sent to me and I have no clue what kinds of recipes I’m going to find. Such was the case with Jillian Harris and Tori Wesszer‘s Fraiche Food, Full Hearts cookbook, which was sent my way back in September. I kind of knew who Harris Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Fraiche Food, Full Hearts”
Book Club Tuesday: Tartine – A Classic Revisited

Book Club Tuesday: Cannelle et Vanille Cookbook
Usually I am happy and pleasantly surprised with the cookbooks publishers send me but in the case of Aran Goyoaga‘s latest book, Cannelle et Vanille, I made it my mission to ensure I’d get a review copy. “Pester” and “persistent” are probably good words to describe the tactics I employed in the months before the Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Cannelle et Vanille Cookbook”
Book Club Tuesday: Every Day is Saturday
Unlike the Dowager Countess of Downtown Abbey, we all know exactly what a weekend is! From it’s first blush on Saturday morning with a coffee and the newspaper to it’s late-night frenzy on Sunday when things are being organized for the week ahead. Weekends often mean we Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Every Day is Saturday”
Book Club Friday Fun Edition: Love & Lemons Every Day
It was three years ago that the first Love & Lemons Cookbook was published. It was three years ago that I lamented in my review that feeding a toddler is hard! Fast forward three years and I have a happy Continue reading “Book Club Friday Fun Edition: Love & Lemons Every Day”
Book Club Tuesday: Modern Lunch
School represents a huge milestone in the life of a kid. Last fall my daughter, who’s 5 years old, started to stay at her preschool group until 1pm twice a week. Not only was I excited because my baby was getting older and regular school is on the horizon, but it was an opportunity to test-drive different lunch options. As a former primary Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Modern Lunch”
Book Club Tuesday: Whole by Natural Harry
With the end of one year and the beginning of another I find I’m like many people who are looking at the new year with the desire to improve my eating habits and ‘clean up my act.’ Although I’m not a person to make resolutions, who among us doesn’t find the culinary indulgence which December brings not to be a good reason Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Whole by Natural Harry”
