The autumn chill is in the air and if you’re like me, you’re snuggling up on the couch with a mug of something warm, a soft blanket to cover you up and reading a good book. Well, more like a cook book lol. Now that summer has pretty much passed and fall is making it’s way in, I’ve been enjoying some delicious reads to help be inspired with upcoming meals. Before you know it, the holidays are here and it’s never too early to start thinking about those menus! Here are some books I’ve been reading and perhaps one of these will peak your interest…
Indian For Dinner
Anupy Singla is a Chicago area cookbook author and former business reporter for the Chicago Tribune. She’s quite the expert in Indian cuisine and has already 3 Indian cuisine cookbooks under her belt. I have 2 of the her 3, with this one being her third. This cookbook, much like her other two, combine her journalistic style with food… something I can totally get behind. Anupy makes Indian cuisine very approachable at home and many of the recipes include adaptations to make them vegan, vegetarian and gluten free friendly. I love that she includes helpful primers on Indian spices, herbs and other common ingredients.
Slow Cooker Double Dinners for Two
When you have a small household, preparing recipes often result in lots of leftovers. In this book by Cynthia Graubart, recipes are focused on preparing them once to create two different meals to enjoy. This breaks the leftover cycle of eating the same thing over and over! Even better is that the meals are focused around the slow cooker, making it stress free and less complicated. And if there is ever a time to utilize that slow cooker, it’s definitely during the fall months…
Yummy reads! I love it!
