Cookbooks & Beverages
A few years ago my employee Elizabeth and I generally unpacked UPS shipments from our book distributors and publishers around lunchtime, and we found ourselves particularly vulnerable to all the fine cookbooks arriving. This listing is by no means all of our cookbooks. It is a gathering of recent and/or interesting titles along with a few classics added to show we have grounding in our selection. My mother raised me to read cookbooks somewhat the same as a novel or a history or a biography. Pretty pictures and clever premises are not enough to stock a title. It must have accessible content as well, and a cookbook with good writing is a treasure.
The Soup and Bread Cookbook
The Soup and Bread Cookbook
More than one hundred delectable and satisfying soup and bread pairings from beloved James Beard Cookbook Hall of Famer Beatrice Ojakangas
James Beard Cookbook Hall of Famer Beatrice Ojakangas takes us along on her “soup travels,” giving us delicious tastes from throughout the world and teaching us how to make them at home. These soups, stews, and chowders—each with a bread to go along—take their inspiration from farmers’ markets and local organic grocery stores: real ingredients, always, and irresistible flavors.
