December 2, 2014 - Radio Kitchen - Gift Cook Books
With the holiday season officially underway, we thought we would give our more diligent listeners a few ideas for early shopping. It should come as no surprise that we here at Radio Kitchen are exposed to quite a few cookbooks, and to be honest, we think they make great gifts. Here are some ideas:
First, three cookbooks by Maryland authors. (All books are followed by the 10 digit ISBN number for easy ordering on Amazon.)
"Maryland's Way: The Hammond-Harwood House Cookbook" by Mrs. Lewis R. Andrews and Mrs. J. Reaney Kelly. ISBN-10: 091068801X. An archive of traditional Maryland recipes going back to Colonial Times.
"Dishing Up Maryland" by Lucie Snodgrass ISBN-10: 1603425276. A must-use guide to cooking the produce of Maryland farms.
"Nourishing Broth" by Sally Fallon ISBN-10: 1455529222. Thoughtful insights into the basics of broth, one of the most useful elements of all cooking by a best-selling Maryland author.
And now three cookbooks that caught Jerry's eye.
"The Third Plate" by Dan Barber. ISBN-10: 1594204071. Not a cookbook per se, but a meditation on the perils of modern eating.
"Coming Home to Sicily" by Fabrizia Lanza. ISBN-10 1402787839. Cooking ideas from the famous Case Vecchie school in Sicily, beautifully illustrated and filled with recipes.
