Ah, autumn in Montreal, especially when the weather is nice like today, it’s fantastic! And when I’m in a good mood what do I do? I spend all my money into cookbooks! Hihihi. Today I have selected four that I like, two in Quebec and two in Europe. In the coming weeks I will publish recipes they contain.
First, the last book of Stefano, host of Kampai! and author of two other books already. The price: $ 19.99 for 60 recipes, which makes it easily accessible. Of typical Italian recipes by product feature: citrus fruits, cereals, meat … Very well done. I tried the simple recipe of crescia, an Italian flat bread without yeast, delicious. The photos are beautiful, classical ideas with a twist. A good purchase for an exchange of gifts to $ 20 or spoil without breaking the bank. The next recipe to try … pie nuts, fennel and orange (see second photo). Yum!
Quebec second book, the book by Louise Gagnon, Food writer in Chatelaine magazine. If you are tired of using the classic spaghetti and butternut squash and use the same recipes, this book is for you. It not only presents 75 recipes and unexpected split, but also the author made a presentation squash lesser-known Quebec, like an advertisement for dating agency. I laughed while reading it and above all there are tons of recipes that I want to try! Especially pastries. I have not tried yet, Paleo Recipe Book but Louise made me taste the caramel chips with pumpkin seeds and biscuits comforting Sister Berthe … 2 dessert again without hesitation. I am tempted to try the caramel spread jack-o-lantern fast fast fast (second photo). The price? 34.95 … quite reasonable for such a beautiful book. To apply for Christmas.
Will cross the ocean and on the side of René Redzepi in Copenhagen, voted the best chef in the world this year. Its restaurant, Noma is perhaps a bit far for you, right? While traveling at the speed of lightning with incredible photos of her book, which was translated into French this summer. I admit that the recipes are not for everyone. Nordic cuisine, moreover, is a food product that are not always available here. But just for the pictures and the quality of the various papers of the book, I recommend a purchase. For a gift that is a luxury, costing $ 55, but for the art object it represents, it is no exaggeration at all!
Everyone in the blogosphere makes his own yogurt. I decided to put myself at no yogurt maker! My darling told me a polystyrene box that is largely the case. I found, to guide me, a box made by Larousse, which includes a cookbook of yogurt and fresh cheese house and six small ceramic pots cute as hell. To 26.95, a nice purchase. The techniques are well explained and the fact that we should use small Swiss (unavailable here) for some fresh cheese recipes, I intend to try it with sour cream.
