Cookbook Reviews- America's Test Kitchen, Martha Stewart, & Ina Garten

 As I've said before, I love cookbooks but don't have the space for them in my kitchen. Therefore, I am a serial cookbook borrower- from the library or friends, it doesn't matter- I read them, write out the recipes that look good to me and send the book back for someone else to enjoy. Here are the latest additions to my non-collection.

Cook it in Cast Iron by America's Test Kitchen


I don't feel like I take advantage of my cast iron pans regularly enough so I thought this book would give me some great ideas on other ways to use them. I was right- there's a lot of information in here & lots of wonderful-looking recipes. The book includes tips on how to best care for your cast iron (particularly the traditional cast iron pans), and the best way to take advantage of them as cookware. I'm really looking forward to trying out a number of recipes from this book & getting excited about my cast iron cookware again. 
 




One Pot by Martha Stewart


I don't read a lot of Martha Stewart cookbooks & this reminds me why. There are a lot of recipes that are more involved than I'm willing to commit to, even for one pot dishes. That said, there are some tasty looking recipes in here & I did get some to try out, so it's a worthwhile read if you're looking for some new recipes that won't use every pot in your kitchen.  



 

Barefoot In Paris by Ina Garten 

As always, my love for Ina Garten knows no bounds. A great book full of wonderful recipes & tips that make me want to have a dinner party. She makes everything sound effortless & elegant from a simple salad to a souffle. She also continues to share great tips for making food ahead of time which is really important to me. Can't wait to try some of these recipes.
