My kitchen library – cookbook challenge
I simply love cookbooks. The smell of a new book when you just bought it, taking the time to browse the beautiful pages, trying a recipe the very next weekend…
I have collected quite a few cookbooks in the past years, and together with my subscription to Delicious Magazine since 2009, the number of recipes I have at my disposal is huge.
But I have to admit: I usually find inspiration either in my fridge, on the Internet or my Paprika Recipe Manager app. Such a shame, so I’m going to pull those cookbooks off the shelves!
The challenge
The plan is to pick a different cookbook from the shelves at least once a month and cook a recipe from it. This could be any type of recipe: from breakfast to a snack or even a main dish. Of course I will share the recipes and a brief review of the cookbook here!
Some of the books I have (and haven’t cooked from) are:
- “It’s all good” by Gwyneth Paltrow
- “à la mère de famille” by Julian Merceron
- “Leon: ingredients and recipes” by Allegra McEvedy
- “Home cooking with Ferran Adrià” by El Bulli
Since I’m a huge fan of the UK based Leon restaurant chain (I would seriously start a petition to get them to come to Amsterdam ;-)), I will start with that cookbook in April. So stay tuned!
