Cookbook 198: Recipetin Eats Dinner

I have an admission. Prior to opening this cookbook I had no idea who Nagi Maehashi was nor what Recipetin Eats was. I saw a lot of people raving about the cookbook, but despite my terminal online-ness and love of recipes and good instructions, I had completely missed this whole show, which is my loss. …

Cookbook 197: Tonight’s Dinner

Tonight’s Dinner: Home cooking for every day by Adam Liaw was a Christmas present… in 2022 if my memory serves me correctly. At the end of last year (2023) I received a crate of mangoes as part of a fundraiser for a local school (yes I know I’m behind on updating this blog), and suddenly …

Cookbook 195: The Italian Home Cook

A new (well it was when I bought it) cookbook by Silvia Colloca? Of course I was going to buy The Italian Home Cook: The 100 recipes you need to know, as soon as I could. I find Silvia Colloca’s recipes great, and her TV shows and stories fascinating. I also wish I could look …

There are a lot of recipes in this book, including a …

Cookbook 177: Asian After Work

I love Adam Liaw, he has such a beautiful voice, is so passionate about food and the cultures of food, about making food accessible, and sharing in the joy of food. I’d been deciding what book of his to buy for a while, and settled on Asian After Work as something that would be accessible, …

Cookbook 175: Simple Italian – The Essentials of Italian Home Cooking

When I heard that Silvia Colloca’s Simple Italian – The Essentials of Italian Home Cooking was available, and I had a credit on my Booktopia account, I bought this immediately. I absolutely adored her Made in Italy and I wanted to have more of that magic and discovery. Goodness I was disappointed. And those are …

Cookbook 174: Carpathia – Food from the heart of Romania

I bought Carpathia: Food from the heart of Romania by Irina Georgescu because I’d never specifically eaten Romanian food, and because the book itself is stunning. Just check out the cover, how beautiful (no honestly, click on the link I can wait). The book has a some vegetarian recipes in it, which is good, and …
