I devour cookbooks. I read them by the bagful. My local library has a great selection and I fully utilize the ability to reserve books throughout the library system in New Jersey. I believe we must first understand and appreciate the cultures and countries and intricacies of foods we put on our tables.
Here’s a list of some of my favorites in rotation:
The New Orleans Kitchen by Justin DeVillier
The Immigrant Kitchen collected and edited by Leyla Moushabeck
The Tucci Table – Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt
Bottom of the Pot – Naz Deravian
Between Harlem and Heaven – JJ Johnson and Alexander Smalls
Provence – Caroline Rimbert Craig
Simply French – Patricia Wells
Made In Spain – José Andrés
The Taste of Country Cooking – Edna Lewis
Indian-ish – Priya Krishna
