#Cooktober THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SPICES & HERBS by Padma Lakshmi "Confession: I am not a very experienced cook, which means I am often overwhelmed by the scope of cooking encyclopedias. Luckily, Lakshmi has my back. While The Encyclopedia of Spices & Herbs is comprehensive and informative, it is also kind to the newcomer. There are recipes that involve many of the spices, pointers on how to use the exotic ones, and a fresh perspective on those more often used. Perfect for the home cook or anyone thinking of becoming one." - Jax #cooking #october #cookbooks #theencyclopediaofspicesandherbs #padmalakshmi #spices #herbs #cookingreference #cookbookrecommendations (at Bookshop Santa Cruz)

#NewRelease COOKING FOR JEFFREY by Ina Garten "One of the most delightful parts about watching Ina Garten’s show, The Barefoot Contessa, is catching a glimpse of the relationship she has with her husband of 46 years. (Do they ever look at each other without a twinkle in their eyes?) In her new cookbook, Ina shares 85 never-before-published recipes that she makes at home for Jeffrey. What a treat to not only have a new collection of Barefoot Contessa recipes (the cake on the cover is excellent), but to get a personal look at the beloved cook’s life and love.

#NewRelease of the day in Cookbooks: HOW TO CELEBRATE EVERYTHING by Jenny Rosenstrach "I have been a huge fan of Rosentstrach's blog, Dinner: A Love Story, for many years, and have hand-sold her previous cookbook (of the same name) countless times. What I appreciate so much about her is her unwavering faith in food bringing people together. No matter whether the food is simple or fancy, its the tradition of sitting down to a meal with friends and family that matters. In How to Celebrate Everything, Rosenstrach tackles the question, How do we slow down to make sure our kids are recognizing moments that matter? Her answer: Savor family rituals. Optimize family holidays. Celebrate everything. And that she does, with ideas and recipes for not just major holidays and birthdays but also the start of summer, sleepover breakfasts, the end of soccer season, and more. Even her near-religious devotion to tomatoes (which I share) is celebrated in this fantastic book." - S.B. #newreleasetuesday #cookbooks #howtocelebrateeverything #jennyrosenstrach #stafffav #celebrate #food #family #friends #bookrecommendations #cookbookrecommendations (at Bookshop Santa Cruz)
