T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
When I am looking for the best cookbooks, I want to find that perfect sweet spot of a book where the recipes are both simple food familiar, and adventurous... And with Delicious Gatherings by Tara Teaspoon, I found it!
Tara Teaspoon infuses her recipes and her style of cooking with an understanding of "the power of food and cooking, and how it can bring people together, allow us to explore our creativity, and nourish our bodies and souls." Does this sound like the food writer you have been looking for?... Me too!
Here are a few of my favorites:
Silky Soft Dinner Rolls
Miso Honey Brussel Sprouts
Sheet Pan Potatoes
Dill Bread
Grape and Feta Quinoa
Spinach and Artichoke Tarte Soleil (see the gorgeous cover photo!)
Pepper Jack Nacho Cheese
Italian Gnocchi, Bacon and Cheese Soup
Half and Half Granola Pancakes With Ginger Maple Cream Syrup
Perfect Lemon Loaf Cake
Fresh Peach Pie With Sweet Cream Cheese
Browned-Butter Toffee Blondies
BONUS: The index for this cookbook includes a brilliant photo index... Such a fabulous idea!
One of her good cooking techniques (borrowed from French cooking) is mise en place... which translates to "have everything in place." She is a big believer in encouraging home cooks to have their own kitchens running like a chef's kitchen: clean, inviting, and ready to cook... And prepare your ingredients in advance so they are ready to add as you need them. Especially so helpful when you are using new ingredients or seasonal ingredients.
Think if you were a guest chef on the Today Show... Your kitchen station would be prepped with everything you need and your ingredients would be pre-measured and in beautiful little glass bowls ready to add.
Ever wonder why? Not only do they do this to get thru the recipe quickly... But because it also gives the viewer confidence in how easy this recipe is to put together.
You can experience that same confidence in your home cooking kitchen as well! Take a few moments before you start cooking to set up your kitchen station, prepare your ingredients... and then start cooking your favorite recipes with a new flair. I bet you will feel so much happier as you slide that pan into the oven.
Perfect for home cook readers who are looking for a new cookbook that will put a new spin on your family's favorite classic recipes and encourage you to become a more confident cook with simple living cooking tips too!... ✨😎✨
