With this 5th trio of books of Cook the Books Contest for World Book Night, i am starting to get writer's cramp.
This ultimate batch by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is fresh out of the publisher's oven.
Ready to impress, Beat This!: Absolutely Unbeatable Knock-‘em Dead Recipes for the Very Best Dishes by Ann Hodgman should do the trick.
Maybe you need a fast paced soundtrack, some 80's funk, to go with it.
I once heard a chef state that vegetarian food cannot be tasty, he should read Fresh & Fast Vegetarian: Recipes That Make a Meal by Marie Simmons.
She puts the world in your plate with an arc-en-ciel of flavors. Book includes some vegan recipes.
We need sweet and pleasurable too. The Gourmet Cookie Book: The Single Best Recipe from Each Year 1941-2009 will add a spark to your coffee break or tea time.
Editors of Gourmet revisited their treasure trove of recipes, time travel in the kitchen.
