Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
by
Ina Garten

Ina Garten is (in my opinion) the best TV chef to come along EVER! Her recipes are elegant, approachable, easy to make, and most importantly, magnificently delicious! Her food just has this great quality of being stunning and unique but at the same time being totally easy and simple. The beet salad with orange viniagrette in this book is to die for!!!!!!! I've tried lots of her recipes, both for entertaining and for regular recipes for home when it's just us, and nothing has ever disappointed. Another thing I love about her is that her recipes are so wonderful that it just inspires me to shop organically and locally, buying farmer's market produce and local chickens and eggs. I imagine (and know from watching her show) that this is what Ina would do. I will be ordering all the rest of her cookbooks very soon!

Americas Test Kitchen Family Cookbook

LOVE this TV show and now LOVE this cookbook! I cook a lot, but there are certain things that life just hadn't gotten around to teaching me, like how to poach an egg or how to make the best whipped cream. (Use a cold bowl and cold cream and don't overbeat.) :-) I use these recipes for regular week-night stuff, but have also used several for entertaining. Everything turns out marvelously, is easy to do, tastes great, and makes me look like a pro! I like the ring binding because it allows me to take a page out if I want, but usually I just lay the book out open to whatever page I'm cooking from. The pages are a teeny bit flimsy, so don't turn while your fingers are wet. :-) A very interesting thing about this book are the product reviews and advice located throughout. Like what brand of canned tomatoes or mayonnaise tested best in their kitchens. I also like the idea that they perfect their recipes for home use by testing them with certain modifications and substitutions that cooks might make at home, to make sure that the recipe will stand up the abuse that home cooks will sometimes dish out. They're also very good about warnings when a substitution will not work at all. I love this book. It replaced another ring-bound classic as my go-to for everyday recipes.
