Have you come across a new cookbook lately you really like?

I'm rechecking the library and Amazon to see what's new. Have you got any new ones, or ones you're thinking of?

Ina Garten and Vivian Howard both have cookbooks coming out in  Oct., and I want them both.

Re: Have you come across a new cookbook lately you really like?

I belong to a cooking and supper club.  Every month, we prepare dishes from a new cookbook.  Our August cookbook was Tasting Rome.  September will be a Greek cookbook.

 

What is nice is that we are preparing dishes that we have usually never heard of, eaten, or prepared.   I am finding that there are quite a few dishes now that are becoming regulars in our home.

 

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Yes. I want Ina's new cookbook Cooking for Jeffrey, too. 

 

I've preordered America's Test Kitchen's Bread Illustrated from Amazon (cheaper than from QVC). Supposed to get here around September 6. I'd also like to get their Cook It in Cast Iron.

 

All About Braising by Molly Stevens is on my must-have list.

 

I'm looking at Nadiya's Kitchen; she was on the Great British Baking Show and is coming out with her first cookbook. I liked her very much on the show.

 

There are more books, too, but I need to get back to the Amazon web site.

 

ETA: I'm watching and see that Meredith is hawking her Air Fry Everything book. It is $18.96 (I don't remember what shipping was). At the "other" place, it's $13.31 with free shipping with Prime. Just an FYI. I ordered it tonight. I like Meredith Lawrence and have her pressure cookbooks.

I used to have a lot of them but sold or gave most away.  There are so many sites on the internet with free recipes that I won't ever buy another one.  I like that most sites include comments from folks who have tried the recipes along with their suggestions for adjustments to lower calories, adjust flavors, reduce cost, etc.

I loved Nadiya too, wasn't she a lovely young woman? Will be very interested to see her cook book. Mary Berry has some great books too and not just baking.

I have the Cooking in Cast Iron book out from the library right now and it is very good, I'm thinking of buying it.

She was so nice to watch and I enjoyed her. I think her Wellington Sausage Rolls recipe is in the book. The book got excellent reviews on Amazon.

 

I'm very intrigued by Cook It in Cast Iron. Thanks!

Re: Have you come across a new cookbook lately you really like?

Lately my two go to cookbooks have been America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country.

 

I just wish they would publish each season separately instead of a whole new book each year to add the new seasons.

 

I won't use the website, the first time I went to it, they wanted too much sign up information and not long ago, I tried it again and they wanted you to pay for a subscription to use the site.  Don't know if they've changed it, it's been a while.

I went over to B & N during my lunch break; had a gift card that was burning a hole in my pocket. And I bought Cook It in Cast Iron. My, I'm going to be using that book! Indoor Barbecued Chicken, Pork Chops with Bell Pepper Chutney, Baked Ziti with Charred Tomatoes, Sausage Lasagna, Skillet Macaroni and Cheese......all truly excellent reasons to buy this book!

 

Oh, I can't wait to get home from work tonight! I'm taking chicken breasts out of the freezer to thaw. And tomorrow night, our supper will be Oven-Seared Chicken Breasts with Leek and Tarragon Pan Sauce. Yum!

 

@CelticCrafter, yes, their website is like that. You pay for the magazines, then pay separately for the use of the website. Keep in mind, though, that you can get their tv recipes free on the web for a limited time, for both ATK and Cook's Country. I'm not sure how long they're available.
