I wanted to start a thread to share some of my favorite blogs and cookbooks. I hope we can use this thread to share new blogs or cookbooks as they become available.
Cookbooks Patti Jinich- Treasures of the Mexican Table This is a fantastic cookbook that’s broadened my understanding of Mexican cuisine. The Achiote Chicken in particular is always a crowd pleaser.
The Woks of life blog and cookbook has been in the rotation of our weekly meals for some time now. I originally tried their chicken and brocolli recipe as our local Chinese restaurant is not that great. I have come to love their ultimate chili oil. It’s kinda like the Frank’s Red Hots commercial- I put it on everything.
Blogs
I love these two blogs, as they are fantastic introductions to Japanese and Korean cooking.
Just one cookbook The Oyakdon recipe from here might be one of my favorite meals hands down. Simple, easy to throw together and great flavor.
Korean Bapsang The bibimbap recipe is a great starting point to introduce yourself to Korean cuisine. I wasn’t a huge fan of it while I lived there, but it has really grown on me since returning to the States.
Edit: future dish has a fantastic fresh kimchi recipe that lives in our fridge. It tastes exactly like my lunch ladies in Korea made. Most of their stuff is tasty.
Awesome! I love everything that I’ve ever tried from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt. In particular Food Lab has taught me a lot of fundamentals and I just reviewed his bbq chicken ahead of Father’s Day grill out!
Sally’s Baking Addiction - really enjoy the pumpkin bread. might make it again once pumpkin is in season once more. Budget Bytes Many of the recipes are adaptable to Southern Ontario prices. Add a few dollars for estimation and you’re golden. Cooking On a Bootstrap - I really like the concept of it, but I haven’t quite made any recipes just yet.
Just one cookbook is my go to. I take tidbits from recipes to mix I not o my recipes for Miso Ramen / Stock and trying new Asian dishes I just learn about.
Bon Apetit for variations on recipes. I use the cooked butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe lost from here. I used to grab Brad Leone recipe sheet before me busted out (get his cookbook if you can.)
Budget Bytes for when you want to make meals for an entire week or empty your pantry.
I’ve been really enjoying Dessert Person. Every recipe I’ve tried so far has gone well, and she’s actually honest about how long the steps will take.
The Food Lab is my other favorite. It’s incredibly nerdy and I’m getting through it extremely slowly.
Moosewood Simple Suppers and Weeknight One-Pot Vegan Cooking are two books I use regularly, and I swear by Cookie and Kate as well.
