Staff Pick
Bread Is Gold is a high-concept cookbook with very cookable recipes from the world’s top chefs. Based on eliminating restaurant kitchen waste, the recipes start with the types of food often thrown out by restaurant staff like bread crusts and Parmesan rinds. These aren’t recipes for beginners, as many of them require a lot of ingredients. For the avid food fan, the insightful photos of the chef’s kitchens, and the partnering essays about the chefs, are a treat. An oversize paperback built of non-glossy paper meant for jotting down kitchen notes helps make Bread Is Gold your own work-in-progress cookbook. Recipes that will be made in my own kitchen: Meatballs With Burnt Bread Dip, Squash Risotto With Pomegranate Butter, Chocolate and Pear Cake With Yogurt Ice Cream, and (Caramelized) Popcorn.
