The Cookbook Junkies

 

 

 

 

I am giving away a copy of two of my favorite books – The Cardamom Trail and Sirocco. Why? Because the wonderful folks at Octopus sent me a UK version of Sirocco and an autographed copy of The Cardamom Trail — so I have my copies to share with you. Somehow my books traveled from London to Bogota, Columbia before finally making their way here. They are no worse for wear and seasoned travelers now.

I reviewed Sirocco over at TasteBook and you can find that review and a delicious recipe for Lamb, Saffron, Dried Lime and Cumin-Spiced Rice here.

I reviewed The Cardamom Trail for Eat Your Books and you can find that review and a recipe for that gorgeous cake on the cover here.

How much do I love my Cookbook Junkies? Enough to drive to Barnes & Noble and buy two books for you – Dorie Greenspan’s Baking Chez Moi was recently reduced to 9.98 and CIA’s Pies & Tarts to 6.98. I love both books and wanted to share them.

Just an update on where you may find my reviews. My column and pieces at TasteBook can be found here. I write a weekly Tuesday cookbook review at Eat Your Books (that link will get you to my latest review for Mexican Today and right below that you will see a listing of my previous reviews). Every other Monday at Sunday Supper Movement under Cookbook Envy – I have one review up for My French Family Table and one coming up Monday for Home Cooked. Lastly, I write reviews for Publisher’s Weekly that are anonymous. I am loving the work and appreciate your support.

I have three fun titles for one of you.

Milk Bar Life by Christina Tosi is a fun quirky book by the author of Momofuku Milk Bar. It includes recipes like kimchi quesadillas, burnt honey butter kale with sesame seeds, pumpkin gooey butter cake, salt and pepper cookies, hijacked Biscoff cookies, rosemary jelly, smoked cantaloupe jam, blueberry miso jelly, sweet and sour red onion jam, Milk Bar English muffins (to soak up the jam), chicken fat biscuits — about as wide a variety as you can get everything from blue cheese pretzels to roast chicken dinner and more.

Jerusalem by Ottolenghi – not much to say here. It’s Ottolenghi – the poster boy for cool, flavorful food. Jerusalem is a mix of both vegetarian and meat inclusive dishes.

L.A. Son by Roy Choi is part memoir, part cookbook. You have to love a book whose first sentence is “HELLO. I’M ROY. Get in. We’re going for a ride.” It’s a little Korean, a little Mexican, a lot street food and Buttermilk Pancakes thrown in for the hell of it. It’s all good.

GIVEAWAY: For a chance to win this trio from the cool kids, leave a comment on this post telling me which book sounds the best to you. You may leave a comment daily until a random winner is chosen.
