More Cookbooks I’ve Been Perusing

Nadiya’s Kitchen: Over 100 Simple, Delicious Family Recipes by Nadiya Hussain

Easy Gourmet: Awesome Recipes Anyone Can Cook by Stephanie Le

by 1 Comment

I’m grouping these two together because they both fulfill the Reading Women Challenge task 4: Cookbook by a woman of color. I own one and borrowed the other, I’ve cooked from both (although no pictures this time – sorry!) and I feel each is a three star book for me, for similar reasons.

I’ve tried a lot of Mary Berry baking […]

I have a lady crush on Sue Perkins. I do not feel that this is an unheard of situation. I was introduced to her via Ale, who was watching the series Supersizers Go/Supersizers Eat from the BBC2 all about food history (it is available on Hulu and YouTube… offf you go). We LOVE food history. This lead to my comfort television becoming watching Sue and Giles drink their way through terrible food. The next great epoch in my Sue fandom was a late to the […]
