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...

How to Cook a Tart
by

A wonderful, timeless, fast-food sort of read. It's quick, engaging, and will make you laugh out loud on the bus. Has a nice culinary revenge scene at the end too. Not the genre that genre that includes recipes, but does get your appetite up.

I'm confused - how can this be the best food writing of 2006 if the book was only published in Oct 2006?

Artful Vegan Fresh Flavors From The Mill
by
Eric Tucker
McAuliflower
, November 12, 2006
The Artful Vegan is a refreshing take on the realm of vegan cooking. Full of beautiful pictures; gourmet techniques and artful presentation are stressed throughout its pages. Each recipe even contains an additional section with plating instructions to help bring a restaurant like feel to your creation. While inspiring, these recipes aren't for a casual bite at home. These meals often contain more than 5 separate components to assemble the dish. As such, these recipes are perfect for wow factor consumption. Without being a vegan, I found the recipes especially innovative. This cookbook inspired me to cook with cocoa butter, hemp seeds, and agave nectar for the first time. I even made seitan from scratch! The multi-layered plating instructions have also introduced me to flavor combinations that I now can't live without (oyster mushrooms, carrots and sesame)! Recommended for gourmands seeking inspiration beyond the basics of vegan cooking.

Bittersweet Recipes & Tales from a Life in Chocolate
by
Alice Medrich
McAuliflower
, November 12, 2006
Passion, pretty pictures and perfected recipes... Bittersweet is a masterfully produced chocolate cookbook. Each chapter contains a discussion on aspects of creating the recipes that lend interesting background to the desserts themselves (ex: discussion on refrigerating brownie batter several hours before cooking to deepen the resulting flavors). Pairing chocolate with white pepper, creating cream free mousse, and pairing cocoa nibs with asparagus are some of the specialty recipes that elevate this cookbook beyond your typical set of chocolate recipes.
