Fittingly, the relief organization’s first cookbook is filled with just as much heart as it is continent-crossing recipes. “Simply West African,” by chef Pierre Thiam and Lisa Katayama, is a cookbook that radiates teranga, a word in Wolof, the most widely spoken language in Senegal, that has no direct translation to English. It is, Thiam explains, something akin to joy and love, mixed with community. With “The Everlasting Meal,” cookbook author Tamar Adler solves the existential question of what to do with leftovers. Centered on sustainability — both financial and environmental — her cookbook provides recipes suitable for families as well as singles while encouraging readers to be more mindful of and reduce personal food waste. Alongside gorgeous illustrations by Caitlin Winner, the book features more than 1,500 recipes to assist readers in recycling excess vegetables, fruit, meat and dairy products before they go bad, spanning casual to fancy and representing all levels of expertise.
Tiffani Thiessen fed me fried chicken, cheesy enchiladas, beef jerky and a Michelin tasting menu. We had leftovers
Actress Tiffani Thiessen is the queen of leftovers in her new book, which offers recipes for repurposing leftover protein, grains, dairy, pantry items and everything in between. And each one is presented with a playful 70s retro aesthetic. Thiessen has a recipe for Bagel French onion soup that swaps the hallmark crouton in the bowl for a bagel. There’s a patty melt made with beet patties that I’ll be whipping up all winter. But my favorite, and arguably the most useful section of the book, is called Bottom of the Bag, Box & Bottle, devoted to crumbs, grounds, and other last drops of items in your pantry. I made Thiessen’s cheese cracker-fried chicken sandwich out of the remnants of four bags of chips and it was glorious.
Cook for Good Times
Galuten, who also co-authored “On Vegetables” with Jeremy Fox and “Bludso’s BBQ” with Kevin Bludso, writes accessible recipes for many scenarios. “I want you to know how to make a vegetable rice bowl and an aggressively healthful smoothie — but to also be able to make pasta and tomato sauce at the last minute for six people who you did not realize were suddenly staying for dinner,” he writes. He also walks through how to set up your pantry and fridge so that you actually are able to do so. Dimayuga co-authored the book with Ligaya Mishan, who writes for the New York Times and is always the first person I suggest people read when they tell me they’re interested in food writing. “Filipinx” is written first-person in Dimayuga’s voice, and certainly it conveys her exuberant spirit and keen, connective mind. But when I read lines such as “My first music was kundiman, love songs with doom written in their bones,” I can sense Mishan’s poetry and genius moving through the language.
Summary and Study Guide
The bibliography at the end of the book, assembling all of the publications Tipton-Martin used as resources, is a collection of fantastic references. The ‘Saved by the Bell’ icon’s food crawl began with Southern-fried frickles and ended with Michelin chocolate cake. No wonder her new cookbook levels up leftovers.
Kitchen Witch Cookbooks
To that end, the recipes will urge you to the stove soon enough — for Nicole Taylor’s cocoa-orange fish, and Isaiah Martinez’s crab and collard “run down” and Selasie Gotse’s Ghanaian crepe cake. I love that the last entry is Edna Lewis’ fresh peach cobbler with nutmeg sauce, the national anthem of desserts. Many of the characters in this novel come vividly alive.

To be the finest food city in the country and might be biased on that count but doesn’t believe she’s wrong. Chewy and gooey, not too sweet, with crispy edges and a hint of salt are key characteristics that L.A. African American contributions to mixology are too often overlooked, says Toni Tipton-Martin, and her book “Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs & Juice” operates as a way to remedy that. Tipton-Martin focuses on Black traditions in imbibing going back centuries, to African fermentation practices. You’ll find versions of recognizable favorites like Manhattans, Sidecars and mint juleps as well as drinks you might be unfamiliar with, like something called a Beet-A-Rita, from chef Hoover Alexander’s restaurant Hoover’s Cooking in Austin.
Pass the Persimmon Hot Sauce
Pyke’s wife Martha sinks deeper into laudanum addiction during the captain’s long absences. Brutal, drunken overseer Rankin starves and beats the field slaves. The Pykes’ 11-year-old son Marshall “accidentally” causes his young sister Sally’s death, and Ben is horribly mutilated by Rankin. When Martha, distraught over Sally, ignores her infant son Campbell, Lavinia bonds with the baby, as well as with Sukey, daughter of Campbell’s black wet nurse Dory.
Leah Koenig’s seventh cookbook, “Portico,” is her deep dive into the Jewish cuisine of Rome. Beautiful photographs and vignettes of Rome’s Jewish history, culinary personalities and accomplished home cooks are interspersed among recipes that reflect the foodways of Rome’s Jewish community past and present. Each page reads as deliciously if not more so than the next. Sofreh in Farsi means “spread,” the traditional tablecloth for serving meals.
As readers, we watch these two young women come of age. Lavinia marries the young heir to the plantation. How can she reconcile her new position with her past loyalties? Belle’s love for a fellow slave conflicts with her father’s vision of a free life for her far away in Philadelphia. In “Southern Cooking, Global Flavors,” Kenny Gilbert, a personal chef for Oprah Winfrey, shares Southern recipes from his Midwest and Southern upbringing as well as what he’s gleaned from cooking in kitchens around the world. In over 100 recipes, Gilbert builds on Southern staples like fried chicken and biscuits, offering a Korean-inspired version with gochujang and an Italian take that adds garlic, basil and Asiago cheese to the biscuit.
Sesame-laced Caesar salad, bacon-egg-and-cheese-stuffed scallion pancakes, and bolo bao fried chicken sandwiches hit the table alongside traditional beef noodles, corn soups and stir-fries. Chef-owners Josh Ku and Trigg Brown, with food writer Cathy Erway, intersperse all of these recipes and more with dialogues and musings on Taiwanese (American) identity, history and favorite dishes for a cookbook that’s just as educational as it is fun. And with persimmons now in season, you’d better believe I’m keeping the garlicky persimmon hot sauce — along with pages of their other condiment recipes — in heavy rotation.
Jamie shoots his father, ending Marshall’s reign of terror. Lavinia tries to take the rap for Jamie but later blames Marshall’s death on Uncle Jacob, a slave who she believes is dead. When James dies of yellow fever, Martha has a break with reality and goes to a psychiatric hospital, leaving Lavinia with Martha’s sister’s family, the Maddens, in Williamsburg Virginia.
Previously, she was the senior West Coast editor at Thrillist, where she covered food, drink and travel across the California region. She grew up across San Diego and Riverside and has happily called Los Angeles home for more than 15 years. Some very fine books have entered the world when accomplished editors take a pause from shepherding others’ words to seize the title of “writer” for themselves. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times.
' When seven-year-old Irish orphan Lavinia is transported to Virginia to work in the kitchen of a wealthy plantation owner, she is absorbed into the life of the kitchen house and becomes part of the family of black slaves whose fates are tied to the plantation. The memoir aspect of “Kitchen Whisperers” is slyer. It reveals a subtle internal tension — a woman who’s spent a lifetime perfecting writers’ copy now figuring out how to weave in her own narrative via the stories of skilled cooks around her. “We were our own best critic,” she writes of contentious editorial meetings.
And the recipe for steamed cakes that McClenny’s mother made for her as a child is already a favorite, the matcha cake impossibly soft and just a tad sweet. I imagine the name of the book is a play on McClenny’s popular Buzzfeed Tasty series, “Make it Fancy,” where millions of viewers watch her turn Takis, Costco chicken and candy into gourmet meals. This book is just as creative, and possibly even more fun. When catastrophe strikes, World Central Kitchen is often close behind.
