40% off coupon and a gift certificate, what should I get? It's going to depend on what they have in stock, of course, but some books on my wish list or just look interesting are (not in any particula

I agree, except that once in a while I feel like doing it. What I find chef's or restaurant cookbooks useful for is inspiration, new flavor combinations, new ingredients, that kind of thing. It woul

That's great news! Out of nowhere the other day, Eden Lipson crossed my mind. Now I know why.

Just picked up Amazon Kindle:

 

Pichet Ong's The Sweet Spot: Asian-Inspired Desserts at $1.99

 

and The Food52 Cookbook: 140 Winning Recipes from Exceptional Home Cooks was only 99cents.

 

I'm considering getting Cooking Under Pressure by Lorna Sass (only $1.99). I can fiddle around with the recipes for use with my still unopened Instant Pot.

I need to stop looking at Amazon Kindle. I don't even cook anymore. What am I doing buying all these cookbooks?

 

But how could I pass up these?

 

Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico by Rick Bayless $1.99

 

Ottolenghi: The Cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi is $2.99 as is Jerusalem: A Cookbook

 

I'm also thinking of Smorgasbord: The Art of Swedish Breads and Savory Treats by Johanna Kindvall for $1.99. I love bread! But do I really need this?

Annie Bell and John Pawson's Living and Eating, which @hels Rosner has been excerpting on Twitter all day. Pawson's prose is Wodehouse meets Fergus Henderson. I ordered it already.

 

I just pulled out my copy, to try to figure out why I bought it. Now I see: very nice writing, lovely photos.

Not my next cookbook,but my latest unearthed cookbook by Gordon Hamersley; Bistro Cooking,whose recipes have a Provencal meets Boston bent. Made his roasted/broiled chicken and a root vegetable pie topped with cheddar biscuit this weekend. Nice winter food, and sad to hear that he closed Hamersley's in Boston about 5 years ago...

Magnus Nilsson's The Nordic Cookbook is a terrific pure read. I can't even imagine what Sneakeater would do with it in front of him...everything from Faroese dishes involving baby puffin intestines to weird super popular Swedish dishes from the 80's involving moose meat, curry powder and bananas.

I love Pawson but sometimes it veers a little Posh Nosh...

Aside: I ate at Hamersley's a few times when I lived in the neighborhood in 2004/2005. It was good food but even 13 years ago it seemed like it was being left behind by the rest of the food scene in that area.

Just checked, and I've got that one. Never looked at it. Maybe I should, for fun.
