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 […]

All Those Seafood Descriptions Sure Sound Tasty To Me!

Cinnamon and Gunpowder by Eli Brown

by Leave a Comment

Continuing with my intake of pirate-themed books and tv this year, we have Cinnamon and Gunpowder! A delicious (haha) and fun story from the point of view of a master chef named Owen in the 1800s who is kidnapped by an infamous pirate captain known as Mad Hannah Mabbot: Mabbot has killed Owen’s previous employer, and takes him on to her ship with the intention of making him prepare for her a delicious meal every Sunday. From this basic premise we see Owen struggle to try and escape, as well as to figure out how exactly to prepare fancy meals […]

Food and Flowers; Love and Politics

After The Banquet by Yukio Mishima

by Leave a Comment

Read for CBR10Bingo: Food I began a new call to a church last year. One of my parishioners is a Japanese native; perhaps the first person I know on an intimate level from the island itself. This has led me to read more about Japan, both fiction and non-fiction and I find the more I read, the less I know. Japan has a rich history and a deep, diverse culture. I learn something every time but I still feel wanting.   I won’t pretend to parse the unique cultural aspects of this book, it’s political and gender dynamics. To speak […]

“There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.” (CBR10 Bingo)

The Long Way Home (Inspector Gamache #10) by Louise Penny, Ralph Cosham (narrator)

by Leave a Comment

In order to pace myself I read the Inspector Gamache books in the season or month they are set and it has been eight long months since I last visited the greater environs of Three Pines. Book nine, How the Light Gets In, had a feeling of finality to it, of bringing together the various storylines and setting a new normal for our characters. I was unsure what I should expect when it finally came time to read The Long Way Home, what would life look like in Three Pines now that Gamache had retired there? In reality what I […]

If Wishes were books I’d have more than I do even now!

Cat Wishes by Calista Brill

by Leave a Comment

This is going to be my Delicious! Book. As the rules said that food had to mentioned. Just not what kind of food. And yes, food is mentioned. Granted it is food for a cat, but food nonetheless. Cat Wishes looks like it might be a whimsical poem, but it is a small story about a hungry cat who in the format of Aesop’s Lion and the Mouse, spares his snake dinner. And in the theme of many fairy and folktales the snake promises wishes to the cat. Of course, Cat does not believe in wishes. Still, he lets the […]
