Cookbook review: The Kitchen Cookbook—Cooking for Your Community by Kimbal Musk
A review and a riff on a couple of his recipes: Salsa Verde and Comeback Sauce. Not the most chef-like recipes but super easy and good!
Cookbook Review: Anything’s Pastable by Dan Pashman
I haven’t posted a cookbook review this month and we are nearing the halfway point of 2024. (My goal is to review some of the “best of 2024” cookbooks. You can check out other posts here.) Anthing’s Pastable was a good read with lots of inventive recipes. About the book: The innovative James Beard Award–winning podcaster who…
Cookbook review: The Noom Kitchen
As I continue with the cookbook reviews (Best of 2024), I keep getting gobsmacked by how unhip I have become. I’m out of the loop on so many things. My only saving grace is that I work with two thirty-somethings and one twenty-something so they will sometimes point out things I should know to stay…

I hate to use that word “influencer” but it fits. These are people that have hundreds of followers, podcasts, YouTube channels, subscription only digital…
Cookbook review: Half Baked Harvest Every Day
It’s been a while since I reviewed a cookbook. Hope you haven’t been waiting with bated breath. There’s a higher end boutique that I visit (mostly to browse or look on the sale rack). They carry some cool cookbooks and I always peruse through them and then snap some photos of the covers so I…
Big Heart Little Stove by Erin French
As I started reading the intro to Big Heart Little Stove by Erin French, I kept thinking, “I know her. I know her story.” Yes, sometimes I live under a rock, but I started thinking back. Did she write a memoir? Did I read it? I finally decided that I had seen a news story…
Seed to Table by Luay Ghafari, another review
A cookbook plus a gardening book. Bonus! Luay Ghafari, blogger at Urban Farm and Kitchen, created Seed to Table: A Seasonal Guide to Organically Growing, Cooking, and Preserving Food at Home (Kitchen Garden, Urban Gardening) to help us all find a balance. About the book: “Luay makes growing your own food, even if just a small…
