Are the Good Eats Really Worth Attempting?

Good Eats 4: The Final Years by Alton Brown

May 7, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Alton Brown’s last cookbook really is basically his show Good Eats in written form, down to the use of footnotes. Good Eats 4: The Final Years is basically the recipe (both actual how to make and creation history) catalog from Good Eats: Reloaded and Good Eats: The Return (including the “lost” planned but never made season 3 of The Return). For most all recipes there’s a lot of segmented information to work through including the narrative of the episode and some thoughts thereon, the history […]

Trope Blend of Culture, Mystery, Food, and Romance with Mixed Results

Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala

May 6, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Arsenic and Adobo is a decent cozy mystery that is pretty aware that it is that, as well as a romance. It pulls off one of those things better than the other. What I don’t get is how Lila can open the novel with “my life has become a rom-com cliché” but be so dense about a romance that doesn’t involve her. There’s obviously something going on with her Tita Rosie and a certain detective, but she (Lila and Rosie both) never even says anything. […]

Make your own meat and cheese without involving animals

Fake Meat Real Food for Vegan Appetites by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

February 5, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

It looks like the theme for vegan cooking for early 2023 is make your own meat substitutes. The newest entry to this group is Fake Meat by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. The author is basically the OG of modern approachable vegan cooking. She’s also my only cookbook automatic pre-order any and all new titles. Most previous Isa books are “vegan for beginners” in nature, in that they feature more readily available ingredients and normal cooking standard processes. This time, things gets a little more advanced. There’s […]

The Randomness of Food Trends Past at the Antique Store

The Southern Junior League Cookbook by Ann Seranne

January 2, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader 5 Comments

I don’t especially care for antique stores, but sometimes they do have interesting books, especially things like The Southern Junior League Cookbook. This book dates to the late seventies, and has recipes from about 30 different Junior League cookbooks from North Carolina to Florida, and Georgia to Texas. A lot of it is the sort of thing you’d expect, home cookery recipes and what we might now call ‘hacks’ for most of your basic categories from Appetizers and Soup to Meat and Poultry to Grains-Beans-Peas […]

The Great British Baking Show Favorite Flavors by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, 2022 bakers

November 24, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

So the Great British Bake Off aka Great British Baking Show books have been kind of hit or miss; more miss lately, but thankfully, in spite of some unfortunate decisions during the actual series, the book is back to what it should be: cool bakes that are actually achievable and useful to an average home baker. The Great British Baking Show: Favorite Flavors has a lot of things I think I both can and actually want to try. Before I get into the good stuff, […]

Beautiful Platters & Delicious Boards by Cedar Mill Press Photo

All Style No Substance

Beautiful Platters & Delicious Boards by Cedar Mill Press

March 10, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

Beautiful Platters & Delicious Boards looks really pretty, as in it has many attractive and colorful picture. I had a good time with my New Year’s experiment with this trend (using a different cookbook), and I was hoping for some more ideas as March is not just birthday month, but also this year, it’s a decade-change. This requires more extensive food-fun. That said, it turns out, this was not the book for that. It’s all a big lie. This book has quite a few recipes […]
