Here are reviews for the books I read in July that I didn’t have time or energy to do a full review on. Note: I was out of work in July so I read a lot. The Woman in Cabin 10 *** Read this while on a cruise ship and it definitely gave me some interesting feelings! A relatively entertaining thriller. I’d read another Ruth Ware book but wouldn’t rush out to do so From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen**** […]

Finally Giving Credit Where It Is Due in the US Cooking Scene

The Jemima Code: Two Centuries of African American Cookbooks by Toni Tipton-Martin

September 23, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader 2 Comments

CBR Bingo Review #I’ve lost track: UnCannon I was thinking about using N.K. Jemisin’s Fifth Element here, but then I figured that was actually somewhat in my wheelhouse as it’s fantasy and queer. Not so much my standard wheelhouse is American History non-fiction. To make it palatable, I found what’s basically history via thing I do like: cookbooks. Scholar and cookbook collector Toni Tipton-Martin is not old (she’s later middle aged, about 60), not white (African American), and not a man. When I was checking […]

The New Homemade Kitchen by Joseph Shuldiner

August 23, 2020 by KimMiE" 3 Comments

CBR12 BINGO: Happy Full disclosure: My husband tested recipes for this cookbook and we are both listed under the acknowledgments as recipe testers. Some years ago, my husband attended a beer crafting class that was offered by The Institute of Domestic Technology and held at the historic Zane Grey Estate in Altadena, California. When he came home and told me that not only did he have a great time, but that there were goats on the estate, I said, “Sign me up for the next […]

Be fair to Jello

American Advertising Cookbooks: How Corporations Taught Us to Love Spam, Bananas, and Jell-O by Christina Ward

March 23, 2019 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I was so excited for this book. I like cookbooks and I like vintage books. American Advertising Cookbooks: How Corporations Taught Us to Love Spam, Bananas, and Jell-O sounded so good. I think maybe I let my expectations get the better of me, because in the end I was a little disappointed. This book has pictures, which are really interesting and pretty, mostly of old cookbooks and recipes in said books. One problem is that the pictures either don’t match the words on the current […]
