Reading Envy Podcast Episode 171: Foodie Recommendations

Jenny asks a guest to do a foodie recommendations episode - just in time for the holidays!

We cover a range of types of books - cookbooks, essays, memoir - and have a few titles from the backlist to recommend as well. The second season of the Skillet podcast goes live the same day this episode, so I hope you'll give both a listen!

Christine One of my favorite episodes yet!! So many books I love plus more for the TBR. Looking forward to giving Skillet a listen! 4y

ReadingEnvy @Christine thanks for listening! I really enjoyed talking with Jen. 4y

Reggie Just listeners to this on my way to Alb earlier today. I just picked up The Best American Food Writing2019 and then read that Rachel Ray interview in the other book which I will pick up later. I always had something stuck in my craw about her(I don‘t know why) but after that interview I kinda like and respect her more. Very lovely episode. 4y

ReadingEnvy @Reggie I think she is someone who knows how to hussle and has ridden the fruits of her labor (but I'd be happy to never hear her say EVOO again! Ha!) 4y

Peanut Butter Chess Pie from the new Sean Brock cookbook - South. The recipes in South by Sean Brock focus on perfecting the craft for the best version of old standards. You can feel Sean's painstaking attention to detail in the recipes as well. I was thrilled to find some creative spins on desserts and knew I needed to make this pie, especially since it had a chocolate cornmeal crust. ⤵️

ReadingEnvy I followed the directions carefully for this pie, which meant a lot more fridge time than I would normally give a pie. I'm not sure if I made it right but the insides settle into a pecan pie like center without the nuts, topped by some peanut butter cakey layer, which is topped with ganache. The crust rolled out beautifully after letting it chill as recommended. ⤵️ 5y

ReadingEnvy Other recipes I marked to try:
-Sea Island Red Pea Spread with Cucumber Tomato Salad
-Chilled Summer Squash Soup with Buttermilk and Sunflower Seeds -Tomato-Okra Stew
-Sorghum Seed Crackers
-Blackberry Cobbler
-Magnolia Vinegar and Brown Butter Pie (what?)!
-Buttermilk Pie
-Hand-Churned Peach Sherbert 5y

ReadingEnvy @Soubhiville I hope you get to see him! I've always wanted to meet him. He opened a restaurant in my town and then pulled out of running Husk. 5y

Traditional southern dishes are given a unique twist in the new cookbook from Sean Brock! Most of these recipes require advance planning and several ingredients (a few that aren't widely available at the local chain store). While it may not be a go-to book for weeknight meals, it'll appeal to those who enjoy spending free time cooking.
(Pictured here is my take on the cheeseburger with special sauce that I modified a bit)

I've been recipe testing and working on a review for this cookbook this week.
Loved the fried green tomato recipe which called for refrigerating the battered slices before frying instead of using an egg wash. They came out lovely, golden, and crisp!

Lady_Tigana_20 Mmmmmmm 🍽 5y

Lindy They look yummy! 5y

Megabooks Yum!! 5y
