Welcome to Litsy!

This Audible Original wasn‘t in the Litsy database, but it was a conversation between Marcus Samuelsson & a number of guests as they talked & prepared recipes from the tagged cookbook. This was fabulous! I kind of wish every cookbook was like this. I didn‘t grow up in Harlem (though I did grow up in NY), but listening to these artists and musicians talk, cook, & eat was like being transported back home.⬇️⬇️⬇️

I started and stopped a few lit fic novels for the #foodandlit #ethiopia challenge in March, so ended up reading through this cookbook from the Ethiopian born author instead. So glad I finally did... beautiful photos and vignettes from his life in Harlem. Several recipes are also infused with Ethiopian flavors. ❤️👍🏻

This was a fun listen! Not in the database so tagged cookbook I put on hold at the library.

Someone has taken @BookBabe & I up on the dinner offer 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Then again, she belongs to a couple of our bookclubs too 😆. @imagine.wonder.dream is here for some of our grub! Pictures later, but here is one of the trays of h'ors d'oeuvres already getting eaten up, lol! We haven't pulled out the shrimp cocktails yet. She said she realized she's at the right house when she saw all the books in the window 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. #LitsyParty

Having listened to "Yes Chef" really got me intrigued not only about Samuelsson as a chef, but also about his very well known Harlem restaurant 'Red Rooster' which I hope to visit sometime in the warmer months.

In the meantime, I'm going to familiarize myself with more of the restaurant's backstory, menu & perhaps try a recipe or 3 with the help of this beautiful cookbook!

OK, ummmm...Marcus Samuelsson, I don't think you really want to eat confetti bass, right?

Last day to enter #LitsyCooks photo challenge! Share a photo of your tasty creations paired with the perfect book, and you could win a cookbook from @HMHCooks !! Five winners will be announced on Tuesday, November 29th.

"On Thanksgiving, you get to look at the present and the past - at where you are and where you came from." - Marcus Samuelsson in Food & Wine #Thanksgiving #RedRoosterCookbook

Totally random: this beautiful rooster appeared in our backyard last night! Very tame and friendly. Put a notice on our neighborhood website but no one knows him. Apparently we are a bird refuge since a Cormorant appeared last week! (And for the record, I just looked for a title with "rooster" in it--would never harm it)! Even tho he woke us at the crack of dawn!???

Another early birthday gift to myself. Marcus Samuelsson is my foodie crush. Did anyone else hear him on NPR the other day?

I wanted to eat at Red Rooster ever since it opened in 2010, & got my chance this year. It was so worth the wait. Everything we had—cocktails to cornbread, fried chicken to fresh donuts—was so fantastic we agreed it was one of the best meals we‘d ever eaten. Samuelsson is sharing Red Rooster‘s recipes in this fantastic new cookbook, which not only captures the food but the spirit of the restaurant & the history, vibrancy, & culture of Harlem.-S.B.
