Do you celebrate with your family? Well so does this family!

All-of-a-Kind Family Hanukkah by Emily Jenkins

by Leave a Comment

  If you are a fan of the All-Of-A-Kind Family series, this might be a book to add to your collection. It is a picture book with slightly more text than usual, but in the vein of the original tales as Emily Jenkins has tried to keep to the spirit of a beloved series. And Paul O. Zelinsky also has tried to keep the feel of the original illustrations while putting his own spin on them. In an afterwards he mentions his influences and reasoning behind what he has done. There are lots of great extras about Hanukkah and the […]

I want to own this book

Cravings by Chrissy Teigen and Adeena Sussman

by 3 Comments

I am not even sure I follow Chrissy Teigen on Twitter, but everything I have read indicates she is bright, witty and compassionate. Plus, I have heard a lot of positive buzz about all the food she makes, and I was in the mood for some new comfort food recipes. Cravings it was to be for this particular bingo square. So, thank you interlibrary loan for bringing me this delightful book! My spouse is allergic to poultry, so we don’t generally eat it at home. Consequently, I don’t have a variety of basic chicken recipes in my repertoire but we […]

Life is just a bowl of (sour) cherries

Refuge by Dina Nayeri

by Leave a Comment

CBR10Bingo: Delicious Finding a book for this CBR10Bingo square was oddly tough for me, as nothing in my TBR list really jumped out at me as being obviously about food. When I started pulling my books off the shelf, one by one, and saw those gorgeous yellow cherries on the cover of Dina Nayeri’s Refuge, I knew this was the one.  Early in the book, Niloo’s father imparts his life’s philosophy to his young daughter.: “Life in Ardestoon is a shank of lamb so bursting with marrow, you can suck until your cheeks are full and there’s still more to […]

Bringing a community back together

Together: Our Community Cookbook by The Hubb Community Kitchen

by 1 Comment

On the 14th of June 2017 Grenfell Tower burned and a community lost 72 people and their home. The recovery process is still ongoing and the building is a scar and a reminder of how cutting costs and ignoring residents can come with a very high price. But Grenfell is a community and they have pulled together in the aftermath of these events to rebuild their lives. And one of the ways they have come together as a community is through cooking – the Al-Manaar mosque opened their kitchen and their hearts to the local people and provided a place […]

Dropping the Hammer

Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking: Authentic Dishes for the Home Cook by Maangchi

by 1 Comment

**I want to add a quick update because this is cracking me up. Ever since I posted this review, half of the ads I see on websites are in Korean. Apparently just taking the time to look up the correct names of food is enough to convince the bots you’re bilingual!**   I’m a little unsure exactly how to review a cookbook, but I’m going to take a crack at it, because this is a good one.   I first found Maangchi via her YouTube channel , where she does step-by-step tutorials for Korean recipes. Her personality, and her outfits, […]

Yes, she can be a little “extra.” But the food is delicious.

Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat by Chrissy Teigen, Adeena Sussman, Aubrie Pick

by 2 Comments

I think at this point, most of humanity is familiar with Chrissy Teigen. I follow her on Twitter and Instagram. I enjoy her comment round-ups on Comments by Celebrities. I love her obsession with Walter(Owen’s Grandp), who may or may not be real. Her kids are adorable and her mothering is relatable. Her husband seems cool and pretty normal for a massive celebrity. And like a lot of others, SOMETIMES I CANNOT GET THE RIDICULOUS HEADBAND OF THE DAY SONG OUT OF MY HEAD. Sure, she can be annoying with her no-holds-barred tweeting. But I find her amusing. I also […]

This is a cookbook, but don’t read it for the recipes

Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat

by Leave a Comment

So I’ve had Salt Fat Acid Heat on my TBR list for a while, and to be honest I’d kind of forgotten about it. Then I decided to go to the library and wander a bit because the library had just reopened after some county budget shenanigans nearly shut it down, threatening to defund it. So in addition to the manga section (I may have raided that too) I went browsing the cookbooks. In some ways this seems also like a misclassification for this book except it’s not. The first 200 pages have no recipes. Instead there is an in-depth […]

Cooking with Magic

The Wizard's Cookbook by Aurelia Beaupommier

by Leave a Comment

I was in the local bookstore to pick something up, and what I was looking for wasn’t there. I browsed around a little since I had a 20% off coupon, and I saw this: The Wizard’s Cookbook. I made an impulse purchase. I regret nothing. This is a cookbook, but all the recipes are based on characters from modern fantasy literature and include everything from the expected Harry Potter and Wizard of Oz to the equally cool but less expected Magica DeSpell, Link, Asterix and Obelix, Bewitched, and Dungeons and Dragons. Thankfully there’s a reference guide to who/what everyone is […]
