New Cookbook Season

I found myself with lots of Amazon gift certificates recently, which means one thing: time for some new cookbooks. Good for us, and good for you, since there will be plenty of new recipes to share

I’ve been playing around with pickling a little bit lately, so I got a couple of books on that to try some more: The Joy of Pickling, and Preserved. Definitely keep an eye out for more pickled and fermented stuff soon.

I also grabbed Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way by Francis Mallmann. He’s an Argentine chef whose restaurant we ate at when we were there on our honeymoon. He cooks lots of his dishes on the grill and over an open fire, which sounds great for summer.

Alex had me order How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food by one of our favorite food writers, Mark Bittman. She just finished Michael Pollan’s latest book, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto, and it’s prompted her to find some more vegetarian recipes, which sounds good to me, too.

What cookbooks are inspiring you these days? Picked up any good new ones lately?
