Season with Authority: Confident Home Cooking | Olga Massov, Marc Murphy

I have a new obsession: library cookbooks! Checked out this one due to my frustration of getting the books I want to read that fit the challenge #ReadICT category: season. 🤣 (I want to read Ali Smith‘s Autumn but my library doesn‘t have it?!?!?!?) 🍽️🍝🍂

#ReadICT category Season #Aug2024 Book71

Tamra I have a library cookbook “problem” - it means I check them out and then often feel compelled to buy them! 😆 Actually it‘s the perfect way to see whether any specific book is a fit because they are pricey. 6mo

BkClubCare @Tamra - I take pics or make copies of the recipes I want. I did tell my mom that I want a book for Christmas 🎄

Berries & Biscuits served with ice cream. It definitely needs cream of some sort as the berries are tart. 😚😚 Thumbs up for this and the teriyaki salmon because both recipes were easy & teen approved. 👍🏾

I love Turshen‘s books - simple and super tasty. 😋

I highly recommend making this steak! The sauce just gets better the longer it sits. I served it as tacos with homemade corn tortillas.

Tamra I also love she gives simple variations on the dishes as well. 1y

Christine She is the best! (Haven‘t tried this recipe yet but now want to!) 1y

From Scratch: 10 Meals, 175 Recipes, and Dozens of Techniques You Will Use Over and Over | Michael Ruhlman

Cookbooks on audio = a revelation!! Stumbled upon this while trying to preview the ebook and loved the listening experience. Fun book with many great tips and engaging author narration. But what I loved most was how this entered my brain in a different, more lasting way than when I read a print cookbook cover-to-cover. This audio production didn‘t include the recipes, just the narrative parts (though I do love hearing recipes on audio). Great ⬇️

Christine bonus conversation with the author and his wife Ann Hood at the end, too. Now on the hunt for all the audio cookbooks! Already have two that I own in print in queue (The Food Lab and Salt Fat Acid Heat). 2y

JamieArc Interesting. I wouldn‘t think to listen to a cookbook on audio . 2y

Christine @JamieArc Same here! Really worked for me though. I feel like I‘d use my cookbooks more if I took them in this way. (I‘m mostly an audio reader these days.) 2y

Tamra I‘ll have to try! I‘ve never thought of audio for a cookbook. 2y

Christine @Tamra Yes, let me know what you think if you try one! 2y

These cookbooks are from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. Several are organizations who published them, church groups, granges, etc. I have many more! Love all of them!!

Eggs 💗💗vintage cookbooks💗💗 5y

BookNAround Community cookbooks are the best! Since they‘re recipes that people actually use in their own families, tend to turn out well and taste good too. 5y

Crazeedi @BookNAround they are! Time tested by real people in the community, I love them too!! 5y

Crazeedi @Eggs Yes! You understand! 5y

Chrissyreadit I‘m glad you posted!!! I love cookbooks, and want to create my own “tested and loved” with vegan recipes. 5y

Geenie ❤️❤️ 5y

Leftcoastzen Nice collection! 5y

Crazeedi @Chrissyreadit did you ask me to post? I cant remember, I think itt was , I'm so sorry I had senior moment!!🤨 5y

Chrissyreadit Yup! It was me! 5y

Crazeedi @Chrissyreadit if there's anything I can maybe find for you let me know. Though the old cookbooks didn't necessarily have strictly vegan. I'm sure I can find ones you could adjust! 5y

Chrissyreadit @Crazeedi I‘m actually inspired to create a book of tried and true recipes- I forget how cozy it is to have a book where every recipe is a good one 5y

Chrissyreadit Like my moms when I was little. 5y

Crazeedi @Chrissyreadit that's a wonderful idea. I have a recipe box with many of my favorites 5y

Lynnsoprano Love your collection. Those old Sunset cookbooks are so good. I have a couple I‘ve cooked out of so much, they‘re falling apart. (edited) 5y

Crazeedi @Lynnsoprano I have several, this was just a tiny sample, 2 shelves of cookbooks!! But I seem to always go for my favorites, I really should go to each one and pick a recipe! 5y

I'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.

Prairiegirl_reading I keep thinking about the award winning bar in Kitchens of the Great Midwest. I really should just try it. 😄 5y

Simona Nom, nom ... 5y

Lcsmcat So what‘s in the frosting? Inquiring minds want to know. 😀 5y

Zelma Agreed! I am very curious about the frosting. 5y

MatchlessMarie Very curious since I suck at making frosting no matter how well I stick to the recipe lol 😋 5y

ReadingEnvy @Prairiegirl_reading I think about that a lot too. We all should just make the dang things. 5y

ReadingEnvy @Lcsmcat @MatchlessMarie @Zelma sour cream, melted chocolate, and maple syrup! But it whips up into this amazing consistency and has this tang that pairs well with the raspberry. http://jennybakes.blogspot.com/2020/01/happy-wife-happy-life-chocolate-cake.html 5y

Lcsmcat @ReadingEnvy That sounds delicious! 5y

ReadingEnvy @Prairiegirl_reading I looked up the peanut butter bars and it looks like similar ingredients to peanut butter balls, buckeyes if you're in Ohio, Georgia cookie candy if you're in Georgia, just in bar form. It would be tasty! 5y

Prairiegirl_reading @ReadingEnvy I read that one in October and I‘ve been thinking about it ever since. I read The Lager Queens of Minnesota and I‘ve been craft beers since then so I guess it‘s only fair I try these tasty treats. 😉 I live in Manitoba and I was thinking maybe we would call them peanut butter slice but that‘s the stuff with the marshmallows but regardless we call anything like this dainties. (edited) 5y

ReadingEnvy @Prairiegirl_reading Dainties! I love that. 5y

“Stress makes food taste bad, so try not to worry too much.” Turshen‘s recipes are not complicated and the head notes for each include helpful tips (“small victories”) and plenty of encouragement. Each is also followed by spinoffs—thoughts on how to turn one recipe into many others. The two things I tried turned out great—Afternoon Cake + Best Rice Pilaf with Roasted Cabbage. Unfortunately, not a lot of the recipes are vegetarian. #cookbook
