In my grown-up reading life, I am an absolute sucker for any book that has anything to do with food. Give me mouth-watering memoirs like The Language of Baklava
Right now, I’m in the last few weeks of calm before the seasonal cooking tsunami washes over my kitchen. It will start with pies and turkeys and stuffings and cornbreads and sauces and potatoes. The second wave will include batch after batch of cookies: sugary, spicy, chewy, crispy. And it will finally start to ebb as I mix up coffeecake and stuff mushrooms and puff pastries in late December.
Whether you and your little ones need a bit of inspiration before tackling a mountain of cooking or you simply think it’s safest to read books about food when there actually is food on hand, you’ll find your mouth-watering as you read this November!
Exciting! My almost-4 year old loves to cook; I’ll be looking for inspiration.
For one of our favorites, have you ever read the picture book Bi Bim Bop? It’s got a great rhythm, and a good recipe in the back.
Can’t wait to see what you pick!
Excellent. I think you should make it a dual project with the cooking blog. Because you have time like that, right?! 😉
