Oh. My. Word. I am totally in love with this book. Usually I get excited about books like this and then am disappointed. Not this time!

Some cookbooks are great for reading on a rainy afternoon; others are better for browsing and keeping close at hand for reference. This one is the latter.
Eat Where You Live {Book Review & Giveaway}
March 12, 2011 By
One of my fellow food bloggers contacted me a few months ago and asked if I could share “baby steps” to cooking real food since I’m a middle of the road blogger; she said she doesn’t even know how to relate to people who aren’t on the far end of the real food spectrum. I wasn’t entirely sure whether to take that as a compliment or not.
The Simple Art of Eating Well {Cookbook Review}
March 5, 2011 By 3 Comments
Believe it or not, I used to subscribe to Eating Well magazine back before I cooked regularly. The exotic ingredients and dishes were fun to read about, but seemed way beyond my capabilities (besides, half the time I had no idea what they were talking about!) So it was kind of funny when I re-subscribed years later, only to discover that what once seemed exotic was now fresh and something I would actually cook. Funny how that happens. But I digress.

I actually read a prepublished copy of Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef last year, and have been patiently waiting to review it. Since it comes out in a few weeks, I am posting my review now!
Ideas in Food {Cookbook Review}
January 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment
One of my favorite experiences is receiving a book to review, then discovering that it was written by some bloggers. It’s almost like getting an extension of the book for free! Such was the case with Ideas in Food: Great Recipes and Why They Work.
P. Allen Smith’s Seasonal Recipes from the Garden {Cookbook Review}
January 29, 2011 By
Sometimes I feel so “not-in-the-know” when a publisher sends a cookbook to me that features the author prominently, and I have absolutely no clue who it is. Makes me feel like a total poser. What business have I reviewing cookbooks if I don’t even know enough chefs/TV personalities/gardening gurus to recognize them on their own cookbook?
Harvest to Heat {Cookbook Review}
January 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Here’s another book that I’ve been able to read, but not cook from, because I’m reading it in the winter. Strangely enough, I still enjoyed reading Harvest to Heat: Cooking with America’s Best Chefs, Farmers, and Artisans by Darryl Estrine and Kelly Kochendorfer.

Foraging is something I’ve been increasingly interested in, so I jumped at the chance to review The Wild Table: Seasonal Foraged Food and Recipes by Connie Green and Sarah Scott.
