Welcome back to another Thursday. This week I’m going to get a jump on holiday gift ideas without completely overwhelming you on the holidays. I’ll save that for next week! I came across three cookbooks this week that I must own. It seems like everywhere I turn online this week, I’m running into these three books. What else could I do but feature them for Super Shopping Thursdays! Cookbooks these days are works of art – gorgeous photography, fabulous foods and fantastic writing by celebrity chefs. These three AUTOGRAPHED books are some seriously great cookbooks and will make the perfect gift for the foodie in your life.
The first is called “Ad Hoc At Home” and is written by celebrity chef Thomas Keller featuring family style recipes and fabulous comfort food – including chicken pot pie, New England clambake and beef stroganoff. Don’t be intimidated by the talent of Thomas Keller, these recipes are quick and easy and perfect for the novice in the kitchen.
You know how they say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?”. Well, I judged and I fell in love with this cover and the name of this book! “Momofuku” is the long awaited cookbook by NYC chef David Chang featuring his very unique brand of cooking. Momofuku literally means “lucky peach” and this book is both a story and a cookbook, my favorite combination!
This last book made me smile and made me think. “Fat” by Jennifer McLagan explores the fascination with health food and the misunderstanding of fat as an ingredient. This book contains some truly, truly indulgent recipes including – are you ready for this – a classic blt made with bacon fat mayonnaise. Oh yum!
Enjoy everyone!
