pickI‘ve finished my first complete read through, but I will be coming back to this book often in 2020! I have already begun to use what I learn to enhance all of our meals.
Would anyone be interested in me sharing some of the meals I prepare using the tips, techniques and recipes in Samin‘s book? It definitely has a new, prized place on my cookbook shelf! 👩🍳

#pop20 : subject you know nothing about
pickI'm not sure if this happens to anyone else, but sometimes I will encounter a recipe, and it will stick with me. This cake is one Turshen makes for her wife. I was intrigued by the simplicity of the recipe and the strange (to me) ingredients in the frosting. I liked that it tasted better cold. The combination of chocolate and raspberry probably moved it up a few notches.
pickFeeling very inspired! This book has given me so many ideas of not only creative ways to use pesto in recipes, but to get inventive with the sauce ingredients itself...... Using a basic principle and ratio of plant, oil, nut, cheese or cheese alternative, garlic and seasoning..... the varieties are endless! Can‘t wait to start creating! 🌱

I can spend almost as much time in a spice store as I can in a bookstore & Penzey‘s is a favorite. I recently bought this on e-book deal by the granddaughter of the founders. She goes on to say that even though her grandparents were experts they continued to learn from their customers about how spices are used in other countries & how they compliment each other. Even for experts “there is always more to learn on a subject.”
When dinner happens to coincide with the section of the cook book I am currently reading! Hubby picked dinner tonight:
Him: We‘re having Irish Stew
Me: Yay! I just read about the correct way to brown meats and make stew. We‘ve been doing it all wrong.
Him: Ok
Me: You‘re doing it incorrectly right NOW
Him: Do you want to make dinner tonight?
Me: 🤐🤣
pickBrought this one home from the library today and the lemon yogurt dressing was so appealing I made it right away. I have chickpeas in the Ipot, so I‘m all set! (💜 Ipot)

This is supposedly what we‘re having for dinner tonight! And it‘s from the slow cooker! I‘ll update in the comments later if it turned out as promised... I‘m hopeful!
I love rainy days when I don‘t have a lot of things to do, like today! So I can spend the whole afternoon curled up with a 📖 and 🍵!
