Summer Cookbook Reading

Books on my current wishlist:

♦Note: I love the “Look Inside” feature on Amazon. With jewelry, often the authors/publishers prohibit this feature {fears of designs being stolen or used without being paid for} and with cookbooks, occasionally publishers do the same; but how else can I know whether the recipes are ones I need? {Or want, for that matter.}

Good to the Grain; Kim Boyce ♣ Stumbled across this in a gallery in Duluth, MN of all places. Spent an better part of my time in said gallery wandering the perimeter and poring over the recipes, which are straightforward {not always to be counted on among the whole grain-conscious} and paired with beautiful photos of the food to be made. I was especially glad to spend time with this book, since I had previously found it on Amazon and had to move on: no “Look Inside” feature.

Lucid Food; Louisa Shafia ♣ Lucid Food is organized by season, keeping me from finding a recipe and running to Whole Foods only to find that the main ingredient doesn’t push up from the ground until next Spring. {Notably they mocked me a couple of years ago for asking after Spring onions in October. I really wasn’t thinking that day.}

Real Food: What to Eat & Why; Nina Planck ♣ If you read everything Michael Pollan has written, Nina Planck comes up in their database as your next required reading.
