Book Club Tuesday: Ottolenghi Test Kitchen — Shelf Love
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”
Book Club Tuesday: To Asia, With Love
It has been a decade since Hetty McKinnon started her salad delivery business in Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia. From the small kitchen in her home on Arthur Street, she would pack up her salad boxes and deliver them on her bike to the people who lived and worked in her neighbourhood.

Book Club Tuesday: Ottolenghi Flavor
Looking at the cookbooks released this autumn, there is a definite trend towards flavour — there’s Ottolenghi Flavor by Ixta Belfrage and Yotom Ottolenghi, Nik Sharma’s Flavor Equation, Bob Blumer’s Flavorbomb, James Briscione and Brooke Parkhurst’s Flavor for All, and Dan Kluger’s Chasing Flavor just to name a few. I think this flavour odyssey is about making the most with what we have to cook with and being able to identify ways to enhance the flavour of a dish whether it’s through the use of particular techniques, ingredients or both.

Book Club Tuesday: Five Ingredient Vegan
I start each day in the quiet of my kitchen, waiting for the kettle to finish boiling water for my coffee, staring at the pile of cookbooks on the counter, and I meditate through the meal possibilities for the day. Some days, I come to the answer of what to cook immediately and, some days I feel as though Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Five Ingredient Vegan”
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: Bazaar
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”
Book Club Tuesday: 30-Minute Vegetarian
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”
