Tiffy Cooks by Tiffy Chen
Here is another cookbook review from 2024 that I found in my draft posts. Chen is another social media star/food blogger made good. (It seems like every single cookbook I pick up is either by a podcaster, Insta-personality, TikTok star or blogger. More power to them!) She shares her home cooking skills by connecting us…
Table for Two by Bre Graham
“Our time together is brief, and real love at times can feel rare…. Fight for delight in all you eat and with everyone you love.”
A review: Beautiful Boards: 50 Amazing Snack Boards for Any Occasion by Maegan Brown
I’m not sure how many cookbook reviews I will do this year, but I read a new one before the holidays and wanted to share. Even though the “put it on a board” fad may be waning and you can get all the inspiration you need from Instagram, I still love a good hard-backed book…
Sort of a Cookbook Review–Beach Life: Home, Heart & the Sea by Lauren Liess
“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” –Jacques Cousteau. This is just one of the many quotes and aphorisms from Beach Life.
Cookbook review and trip to the south of France
Le Sud: Recipes from Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur by Rebekah Peppler “The thing is, all the clichés you’ve heard about the south of France are true” (11) and Peppler has the photos, recipes and stories to back this up. Enchanting.

Cookbook Review: Indulge: Delicious and Decadent Dishes to Enjoy and Share by Valerie Bertinelli
I used to watch the Food Network 24-7. Then we got rid of cable about ten years. I really don’t know anything about the stars of that network now. So, while I obviously knew Valerie from my youth and watching her prime time on One Day at a Time, I did not know she hosted so…
Cookbook Review: Cooking in Real Life by Lidey Heuck
Back to the “Best of 2024” cookbook reviews. Cooking in Real Life is truly the best of the best. I’ve made four recipes from this book (so far) and they are all remarkable: Cheesy Stuffed Squash with Kale & Brown Rice, Spaghetti with Sweet Corn Pesto, Peanut Butter and Ginger Cookies, and Celery Waldorf with…
Nachos for Dinner review
This is another book I’m including in my best cookbooks of 2024 reviews even though it was published in 2022. I’ve been seeing it in kitchen shops and boutiques for two years and I almost bought it a couple of times. I finally got a copy from the library. About the book: Crispy Base + Melty…
