Summer arrives next Saturday and hopefully it starts off to less rain and more sunshine. So far my peas, parsley and squash are looking good as well as the berry bushes. Some of my downtime reading this summer includes ~
Since my seeds all came from Italy and I embrace the Tuscan influence in quite a few of my recipes, this book seemed like the perfect addition to my collection.
Naturally continuing with the same theme, I finally added this Marc Vetri book to my ever growing collection.
And finally (well at this moment since I have a hard time restraining myself with food fiction or non-fiction books). One of my favorite things to eat and cook with ~
Please post if you have any suggestions of books that I might want to add to my library.
It's almost summer and I'm lining up what I'll be reading. Please share if you have any suggestions on what I can add to my list ~ I love to read and look at cookbooks.
I bought this book in the used section of amazon.com and I'm really happy that I did. A quick glance through and I was impressed. I might buy more cookbooks from Jonathan Waxman.
This is another that I bought at the same time from a charity that was raising funds and it looks like an interesting read of what goes on behind the scenes in restaurants. And Eric Ripert is always well spoken so it should be good.
An impulse buy, I picked up Alex Guarnaschelli's cookbook. I did crack it open and I'm not feeling as many warm and fuzzy feelings as I did from Jonathan Waxman but I'll find lawn chair time and read more.
Now for fiction. I love cooking and mysteries so the combination is almost always a win for me. I say almost always because there are a lot of series out there. I've read some and enjoyed them and others are only a good time killer.
This is the second book I've bought in the series by Lucy Burdette and I thought the first was well written so this went into my Kindle.
I don't have this yet but it is pre-ordered in hard cover. I am a loyal Diane Mott Davidson fan and want a real book. Her stories are always fun to read and I love her recipes. It's going to be a long wait until August but it will be worth it.
I've been seeing posts lately sharing what food literature is on everyone's must read lists and here's mine...
I just got this in the mail ~
In non-Kindle books ~
and
On my Kindle ~
That should keep me busy for a little while. I am impatiently waiting for the next book from Diane Mott Davidson. Love her writing and her recipes that she includes in her books.
