It’s been a while since I posted anything book related so I should give you an update on my current favorite cookbooks. If you didn’t already know, I love cookbooks. I do not like to follow recipes (I hardly ever did even in culinary school), but books are a source of inspiration that no website could ever give me. Don’t get me wrong, I do also love food blogs and colorful foodie Instagrammers, but an actual book just has that something special.
I forbid myself from buying new books since our cross country move, and because we still haven’t really settled down here in California when it comes to an apartment. We really like our current one where we’ve stayed since January, especially the big, brand-new kitchen and the location, but it’s missing a proper yard so we are most probably going to move again in December. We are living in state where the weather is outdoor appropriate most time of the year so of course we’d like to have a nice yard to hang out all day long, instead of being indoors. So keeping our eyes open for any cute bungalows.
Anyways, back to books! Here are my current culinary favorites. They have big, colorful photos of the dishes which is super important to me. No pictures = no inspiration. Recipes in these books are also easy to make and no exotic specialty ingredients needed.
