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.

Make It Meatless: 100 "Meaty" Recipes that Taste Just Like the Real Thing
Recreate your favorite meaty meals with over 100 comforting plant-based recipes—featuring remarkably realistic meat substitutes
On TikTok, Shreya Walia’s “Make it Meatless” series has garnered over 70 million views. In this original series, she shows viewers how to create hyper-realistic versions of popular meat-based dishes using plant-based ingredients, and they are—quite literally—“eating it up!”
Though these videos target plant-based eaters, even meat enthusiasts have admitted their eagerness to try Shreya’s creations. Shreya uses new techniques and unique ingredients such as lion’s mane, banana blossom, and king oyster mushrooms (no processed meat substitutes here!) to recreate not only the appearance but also the texture of fish, chicken, pork, and beef.
In Make it Meatless, Shreya will teach you how to do the same. Turn mushrooms into Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders, tofu into Buffalo Burgers, hearts of palm into Fish Tacos, and more. You won’t miss the meat!
