Recent cookbook purchases. Most bought used, but very good condition. Some Turkish books, have had for a bit, but haven’t cooked from them yet. I like them all.
Last pic is of Nashville Cookbook, which is a fundraiser for Nashville musicians hit hard by Covid. Thanks to whomever recommended to me. Think maybe @tomatotomato or @winecountrygirl?? Glad I bought it, they’re going to be working on volume two soon.
I’ve been purging my bookshelf to make some room. I sent myself a “free sample” of the Kindle version. I am hoping the illustrations will adequately represent the hardcover version.
@shrinkrap, if you’re talking about the Black Sea cookbook, I must warn you the binding on the book is definitely going to be it’s Achilles heel. While it was technically a used book, think that was due to an overstock, as it doesn’t appear to have even been cracked open. Still, it’s a very cool book, that I look forward to reading, cover to cover.
Got this a few days ago; she’s written a couple other single subject dessert books, Coconut, and Chocolate. Have the coconut one & it’s great. Look forward to experimenting with this one. She really knows her subjects well.
I bought “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking by Samin Nosrat” and I recently started reading it. It is really great so far! Not a traditional recipe book, but more technical I would say. it explains why some recipes taste amazing and why some don’t.
BTW I came across this website the other day, it’s got some nice recommendations t www.goodfoodbooks.com
Haven’t bought any hardbound cookbooks lately, which isn’t a bad thing. Got the last one about a month ago, I think.
But I have bought a slew of on sale Kindle books, including Bravetart today.
Last night I bought one also, which I’ll add some screenshots. I’m kind of impressed with this woman. She went to a trade school, just down the street from dad’s house, 1st woman attendee, got her certification in carpentry. She is also considered to be the mother of “glamping”, 7 books under her belt, and lots of accomplishments. The recipes look pretty solid too.
Lots of new Kindle books with slashed prices, including one I’ve been lusting after for years. Just downloaded a copy of the Complete Asian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon. It is, of course the 2017 updated version. It didn’t look like the original book had the K version. Really anxious to try some recipes. I’ll continue looking for the older book while thrifting. It’s become a quest now.
As well, 3 new hardbacks. Will post photos in awhile.
I’m totally impressed so far, and I’ve only looked at a few pages in the Philippines section. She got right into lumpia and pancit, two things I’ve been craving lately.
Think I’m really going to enjoy this book @MsBean! Have a happy weekend.
