Yay carbs! and other things

Turnip Greens & Tortillas by Eddie Hernandez

May 11, 2025 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

I had a feeling I may have read Turnip Greens & Tortillas at some point but I was browsing in the Library and they had a Cinco De Mayo shelf and I wasn’t sure. Having read the book, I’m still not sure. But I’m glad I picked it up, because it has a recipe I have been looking for: bolillos. I cannot find them anywhere close to where I live, and they are probably the best sandwich rolls for most all roll/sub type sandwiches like […]

Two Souths Don’t Come Together Here

My Two Souths by Asha Gomez

August 11, 2024 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 9: Fiasco My Two Souths is not a bad cookbook; however, it seems to present itself as a hybrid between the American South (Atlanta GA) and the Kerala region of India (southern costal area). For me, as a fusion cuisine book, this one is a fail. Adding turmeric and garam masala to turkey pot pie is not really new or interesting, and I have no idea why it’s especially Southern (in either sense). Adding black pepper to dessert, likewise, how is this Southern? Rhubarb […]

An Asian option for Veganuary, especially if you like eggplant

Vegan Asian by Jeeca Uy

December 30, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

For probably my last review of the year, let’s go with the second cookbook I plan on starting the year with Vegan Asian: A Cookbook. Turns out this is another blogger turned author publication, btu it looks pretty promising. Most everything looks doable and there’s only 1 recipe that uses an unusual ingredient not needed anywhere else in the book. I hate that, when you’re given an ingredient to use with not substitution options and no other uses for what the author ahs to know […]
