April 2023 Cookbook of the Month - Nominations

ISRAELI SOUL
FRESH INDIA
CHEERS TO THE PUBLICAN

I have all three, so I know I could do a little cooking next month.

And it’s only $19 right now on amazon … I think I’m going to bite.

It bugs because they are literally the only Italian cookbooks I don’t have, but I’m such a pushover…and broad beans with watercress sounds divine right now
VENICE & POLPO

So I haven’t seen Venice (just ordered it!), but Polpo is definitely worth having. It’s a beautiful book, well-bound and well-designed. And the food is fantastic. If Venice compares, it will be well worth the $19 including tax I just dropped on it.

Sadly, they changed publishers, I think. Venice is not as nice as Polpo. His Spuntino cookbook is bound the same way, however, it’s an inferior cookbook.

Venice is billed as his “home cooking” book. Where I think Polpo was his restaurant book. So some of his recipes in Venice are little simpler (not by much because I don’t think his Polpo recipes were too complex which is what was so surprising about how delicious it all was), but the bang for the buck is still there. He has the recipes sectioned off by season.
