We have one definite winner for July-September’s COTM: Julia Turshen month! I am excited about this - she’s got lots of delicious, easy, and healthy recipes to choose from, and this seems like a perfect summer choice. I will put up a reporting thread next week.
We have a tie for our second selection. Please vote below for which body of work you’d like to cook from as COTM. The choices are Meera Sodha https://meerasodha.com or Maangchi https://www.maangchi.com . I don’t think we can go wrong with either one!
Please vote for your choice below. We assume by your vote that you plan to try to cook and report along. Even one dish counts! The vote will end at noon on Monday.

While I’d be hapy with either Maangchi (Korean) or Meera Sodha (Indian / pan-Asian / etc) in combination with Julia Turshen, I went with Maangchi because I’ve been craving Korean food lately, and it would give me a boost to make some easy favorites!
But I’d cook along happily from Meera Sodha given her broad Indian / Asian / middle eastern range across books & Guardian column.
Voting is now closed, and it looks like we’ll be doing a 3 month cooking spree from Meera Sodha, in addition to Julia Turshen. Going to be fun and delicious. And remember that we can come back in 3 months and nominate Maangchi again.
Reporting threads will go up tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing what you make.
