Just pulled trigger on South by Sean Brock after listening to his interviews on Serious Eats  https://www.amazon.com/South-Essential-Recipes-New-Explorations/dp/1579657168

 

Oddly, I just bought the dead tree edition after finding it at 50 percent off at the local Barnes and Noble. I've paged through but mostly to look at some of the titles of recipes.

Don't ask. Eat it.

Thoughts? It sounded like a book with narrative which is my preference.

Just returned my copy to the library.  I didn't copy any recipes out so it was a reading cookbook for me not a cooking cookbook.  You will be happy as there is quite a bit of narrative.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

Read through probably half of it this morning. I like it, and it was worth the price. No really earthshaking recipes, and I wish he wasn't so brand-centric (Is Anson Mills rice THAT much different from Riceland?). Lot of emphasis on ramps, so I'm glad I learned the cocktail onion + scallion greens sub for that. I particularly liked the preserving and fermenting sections. Several in there I'll be trying this spring/summer.

 

Yes, lots of narrative. And great photographs.

My lovely sister got me these for my birthday. Dishoom is a kind of deep reverie on Bombay life and history through cafe and restaurant food. Rick Stein's book is a more straightforward travel cookbook. His recipes work solidly, but it's his passion and humour that keep me coming back for more.

I've just finished reading Nancy Singleton Hachisu's Food Artisans of Japan.  This is an odd book for a couple reasons:  for one the price keeps going down on amazon.  I bought at $8.34.  It is now $6.63.  It had been $35.00.

 

For another the recipes from chefs and artisans appear uncurated.  Thus the four hour turnips cooked sous vide at an unknown temperature.  And the rice rinsed three hours under running water.

 

Still, interesting at the asking price.  Her book was cheap but the bottle of four year Yamaroku shoyu she convinced me to buy was not.

Just saw a great(Zoom) author interview with the Author / Owner of Dishoom with Evan Kleiman put on by 'Now Serving' the Cookbook store in Los Angeles. Knew nothing about the restaurants going in but wow -now I am pretty excited to pick up this book. The food and restaurant sound very interesting.

Food Artisans of Japan is down to $5.64 today.  I'm kicking myself I bought at $8.34.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Duke's Mayonnaise Cookbook...

A couple of recipes were featured in Parade Magazine this past weekend.

Until this post, I didn't know about The Duke's Mayonnaise Cookbook! It looks like fun. A cookbook with a forward by Nathalie Dupree is off to a good start.

My favorite cookbook of the year has arrived...

No vested interest, but that of psuedo-nepotism.

Can hyou give us a couple of sneak peeks?     Or is that against copyright?

My copy of Vivian Howard’s new book, “This will make it taste good” arrived yesterday! On first glance a very different cookbook than “Deep Run Roots”. Looking forward to trying out some of her recipes and “master” condiments.

I got my copy yesterday, too.  I really love the concept.  I ordered a jar of the Red Weapons from her site a while back and am looking forward to making up a batch of my own now.

I think I’ll start with her Little Green Dress recipes. The green sauce looks like something you can easily have on hand year round. Looking forward to making the tomato based items next year (unless I can still find some good quality tomatoes).
