Yes, two cookbook posts in a row… I like food. Not even sorry!
Not only are these last two books put together by the editors of Fine Cooking magazine, they’re also from The Taunton Press publishing company, which does all kinds of other stuff that I love. Every book I’ve seen from them (and I’ve seen many!) is beautiful, nicely laid out, and informative. I’ve read several of their sports training books, as well as a stack of home improvement/wood-working/decorating books.
On top of being beautiful, nicely laid out, and informative, everything in this book does look delicious. So far I’ve only made the chicken parm (pg. 26) — my first time ever attempting it! And I’ve only even eaten it once! — turned out really well. (I forgot to take a picture… oops. Good thing this is a book blog and not a food blog!) It was indeed quick and delicious.
I’ve got a whole list of other recipes in this book that I want to try, and they all look like the sort of thing you can throw together when you get home from work, but they still turn out looking and tasting like you slaved away on them. I can definitely see this being the sort of cookbook I’d keep coming back to — classic suppers and family favourites in the making.
I say supper. Do you say supper? Apparently some people think the word “supper” is weird. I like it.
