Breaking the Rules by Joe Sasto
His Crumble Rumble and Crunchy Caesar Salad and Garlic Streusel may be worth the price of the book. Be assured, there is a lot more than pasta in this book.
Something from Nothing by Alison Roman
I found and made the Toasted Rice Pilaf with Walnuts & Dates along with Crushed-Olive Chicken with Turmeric. SOOOOO good. This is a great cookbook.
The Coffee Purist: A Book Review
Humor me. There’s a couple of PSAs in this post. It’s long. But, if you’re a coffee drinker, please seek out this book (from your independent bookstore)
Gatsby’s Speakeasy: a little adult board book
I’m taking a break today from the “best of“ lists to highlight a cute little book. I got Gatsby’s Speakeasy for a gift at Christmas and I laughed out loud because it reminded me of a children’s board book. It’s been on display on my kitchen shelf since then. It’s a cute little book but…
A Spinach Dip to celebrate Boustany by Sami Tamimi
I’m still reviewing books that made “best of“ cookbook lists in 2025. Today I’m reviewing Boustany: A celebration of vegetables from my Palestine by Sami Tamimi. About the book: A homage to Palestinian food and culture, Boustany, is the first solo cookbook from Sami, a champion of Palestinian food and culture. Boustany translates from Arabic…
Not your typical sheet pan book
I’ve bought and read some sheet pan cookbooks before and I haven’t really been inspired by what was on the page. Hot Sheet by Olga Massov and Sanaë Lemoine is different. About the book: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BON APPETIT • BOSTON GLOBE • FOOD & WINE • SAVEUR Transform everyday meals into extraordinary ones, with more…
Relish: My Live in the Kitchen by Lucy Knisley for Cook the Books
This round of Cook the Books finds us reading Relish: My Life in the Kitchen by Lucy Knisley. This was a first (as far as I know) for our culinary book club—Relish is a graphic novel. Simona is hosting and you can read the announcement post here. About the Book: Lucy Knisley loves food. The daughter…
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…
Cookbook Review: Feed These People
My sister ordered this book for me and had it shipped to us. She thought there might be a lot of recipes that we could adapt for our new outdoor griddle. While I’m unsure that that is true, I am positive I love this cookbook! Even if you’re not a cook, just read this book…
“In My Kitchen” May 2023
I feel like there’s less and less new things to highlight in my kitchen with each passing month. I can’t just highlight the last farm bag no matter how great it was. Honestly, The Hubs seems to be cooking more on his outdoor griddle than I am cooking in my kitchen. (The griddle was highlighted…
