I have a few cookbooks that I really like a lot and I have others that I find very useful to have around and then there are my go to first favorites that I love having on my close to the action in kitchen shelf. In these special cookbooks, I find what I want to make and then spend a little more time flipping through and reading the stories and looking at the pictures and making a mental note to for sure come back and make that sometime. And then, I spend even more time imagining what that picture might taste like if I was sitting at that table . . . for example in my Pacific Northwest cookbook - wow good!
Do we even need to ask the question: should I buy that totally cool must have in my kitchen cookbook - a kitchen which does have some cookbooks already with plenty of recipes yet to make?
Still, no - cookbooks are amazing definers of who we are in a way! These books represent me - food that I love, places that I love, ways of eating that I am passionate about. They provide ideas, information, inspiration and conversation about food and life!
And, I am just loving the pictures, the food talk with friends and the discovery of my coolest new cookbooks and all the great secrets inside!
Every time I pick up this book I get pulled in . . . a must have!
"Super Natural Cooking" by Heidi Swanson
This treasure of a book was bought right here in Phoenixville at Wolfgang Books - a second floor beautifully detailed inviting space with library shelves filled with the new and old the funky and literary. It is the old style bookstore that you want to hang out in for hours and the front sofa overlooking town is just the place!
