As promised, my last cookbook review of 2020! Part of me feels that this is a case of “saving the best for last” and, what I will tell you is that this might be the longest I’ve had a book before writing Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower”

Book Club Tuesday: Scandinavian Green
Whether people are trying to make choices based on the environmental impact of their cooking or their changing dietary needs, choosing to eat more plants is more common now than it was when Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Scandinavian Green”
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. Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Ottolenghi Flavor”
Book Club Tuesday: Community (Revised Edition w/ New Recipes + Stories)
This book is dedicated to all the home cooks around Australia who turned my passion for salads into a global community. (Dedication in the new edition)
How I found out about Hetty McKinnon and her recipes was by word-of-mouth. Everyone knows that I am a cookbook enthusiast, which is great because people love to give recommendations on cookbooks I might enjoy. Word-of-mouth is good because Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Community (Revised Edition w/ New Recipes + Stories)”
The “No Book” Book Club Edition
Hey everyone! I know what you are probably all thinking — how can you have a book club without books? Well, since being at home for the past number of weeks (frankly, I’ve stopped counting at this point because I’m tired of looking back) I’ve been thinking about people and cooking. While I have had the Continue reading “The “No Book” Book Club Edition”
Book Club Tuesday: Open Kitchen
It probably could go without saying — so much has changed in our world over such a short period of time. While the way I work towards writing cookbook reviews hasn’t changed (I do all my cooking at home, and all of the writing too), I’ve taken a pause Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Open Kitchen”
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: From the Oven to the Table
I haven’t always been interested in cooking or cookbooks. When I was a kid and young adult I was completely obsessed with movies. Didn’t give my folks much bother because Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: From the Oven to the Table”
Book Club Tuesday: Kosher Style
When Amy Rosen started to describe the food enjoyed in the kitchens of North American Jewish families in her latest book Kosher Style as “tast[ing] like gold and ooz[ing] warmth” she had my interest — what could be better than Continue reading “Book Club Tuesday: Kosher Style”
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”
