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…

Listening to Kitchen Ghosts
I heard an author interview on NPR with Crystal Wilkinson and her latest work, Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts, and I just had to get on the waiting list at the library. It was a long wait but it was worth it. About the book: NATIONAL BESTSELLER – A lyrical culinary journey that explores the hidden…
