It’s been said, many times before, food brings us together, and there is nothing better than being able to share a good meal or a tasty dish with our loved ones. Hannah Sunderani knows this ethos well and, when coming up with a name for her blog, she wanted people Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: The Two Spoons Cookbook”
What does it take to get people home cooking again? Well, if we look at 2020, it was the situation that brought people back into their kitchens to bake and make, fostering their starters along the way. For some of us home cooking is Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Ottolenghi Test Kitchen — Shelf Love”

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”
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”
What is it that home cooks really want? Easy to cook meals that taste delicious! Seems simple enough, right?
