Cookbook Reviews- Molly Gilbert, Tasty, & Elizabeth Sims & Chef Brian Sonoskus

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.

One Pan & Done: Hassle-Free Meals from the Oven to Your Table by Molly Gilbert

A really well done cookbook with some great recipes that I am looking forward to cooking (especially some of the desserts!). All the dishes aren’t true one dish meal- you’ll use bowls, mixers & various other vessels, but for the most part they look easy & delicious, two things that make me want to cook.

 


Tasty Latest & Greatest: Everything You Want to Cook Right Now by Tasty

Meh. I got this book because they had it at the library &, like everyone else in the world, I’ve seen their videos. The book is fine, many of the recipes look easy & delicious, but I’ve seen nearly every single one of these recipes online already. So, I guess if you want to look at them in a book, that’s cool but I’d rather just google them as needed. 

 

Tupelo Honey Cafe: New Southern Flavors from the Blue Ridge Mountains by Elizabeth Sims & Chef Brian Sonoskus

I have never eaten at a Tupelo Honey Cafe, but I do love southern food. This book delivers- the recipes look delicious & relatively easy to follow. The biggest problem I have is that I think I gained 5 pounds just reading these recipes all filled with cheese and butter- it is not for anyone counting their calories. But, if you're looking for southern comfort food of the highest order I think this book will satisfy. And if the feedback from my friends is any indication, I need to eat at a Tupelo Honey Cafe as soon as I'm able to.
