Really Hoping The Food is as Good as it Looks

The Korean Vegan Cookbook by Joanne Lee Molinaro

by 1 Comment

This might be the first cookbook I’ve preordered; I’m pretty sure that I actually ordered it months ago, and forgot when it was supposed to come out. Then came the shipping notice, and then The Korean Vegan Cookbook. This is actually almost a coffee table book give that it’s a glossy hard cover with lots of pretty pictures. That said, it also looks like it will be a lot of interesting fun to work through. Not only are the recipes pretty doable in terms of […]

Cooking my way through this one

East by Meera Sodha

by Leave a Comment

I have started to really make an effort to cook my way through a cookbook before looking for a new one; problem is, the cookbook I had planned to start the year with turns out to not be much to my taste. Library browse to the rescue, I think. I picked up East by Meera Sodha, which features both vegan and vegetarian which isn’t a mix you usually see. It focuses on Asia in general, but with a mix of Japanese, Indian, and Chinese cuisines […]

Another cookbook that may or may not be worth my time

Cornucopia The Green Cookbook by Tony Keogh, Aoife Carrigy, et al.

by Leave a Comment

I am still working my way through that stack of lost and found Christmas gift cookbooks; here’s the next one: Cornucopia: The Green Cookbook. I have to admit that I didn’t have high hopes for this one because of all the restaurant cookbooks I’ve seen, I’ve only really liked one well enough to actually use it for more than one or two recipes. The restaurant in this case is a vegetarian joint in Dublin Ireland called Cornucopia that’s been around since the mid 80s. As […]

I do love to bake but with this book I’m not so sure

The Great British Baking Show Love to Bake by Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith, the Bakers

by 1 Comment

I may have to re-impose my occasional moratorium on cookbooks, specifically baking, for a while. The Great British Baking Show released the annual cookbook to accompany the most recent season on Dec. 22; I pre-ordered. Due some unforeseen delays, I only just got the book a few days ago. The problem I have is that I only just started working my way through Pieometry; I’m a good ways through my Paul Hollywood book (How to Bake), but there’s still a lot to get through with […]

If nothing is sacred, there is nothing to save.

Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

by 1 Comment

I don’t know that I can offer a traditional (or unbiased) review of this book, because it has become deeply personal for me, but I’ll try. I officially stopped “eating animals” because of Eating Animals. This is the only book I frequently re-read, because it means so much to me, and is a bolstering reminder of why I choose to live the way I do. It’s been a transformative and eye-opening book for me, and I highly recommend it for anyone who’s ever felt uneasy […]

Some Salads Show Up, Some Could Just Stay Home

Show Up for Salad by Terry Hope Romero

by 3 Comments

I have attempted a new rule when it comes to cookbooks: I am not allowed to open a new one which I may have recently bought until I finish working my way through, insofar as is possible) the current one. I’m not always good at this personal rule, but recently it seems to have been working. I somehow missed that Salad Samurai had a sequel, Show Up For Salad, so I had to grab it for use as a lunch for the next several months […]
