I wanted to start a thread to share some of my favorite blogs and cookbooks. I hope we can use this thread to share new blogs or cookbooks as they become available.

Cookbooks Patti Jinich- Treasures of the Mexican Table This is a fantastic cookbook that’s broadened my understanding of Mexican cuisine. The Achiote Chicken in particular is always a crowd pleaser.

The Woks of life blog and cookbook has been in the rotation of our weekly meals for some time now. I originally tried their chicken and brocolli recipe as our local Chinese restaurant is not that great. I have come to love their ultimate chili oil. It’s kinda like the Frank’s Red Hots commercial- I put it on everything.

Blogs

I love these two blogs, as they are fantastic introductions to Japanese and Korean cooking.

Just one cookbook The Oyakdon recipe from here might be one of my favorite meals hands down. Simple, easy to throw together and great flavor.

Korean Bapsang The bibimbap recipe is a great starting point to introduce yourself to Korean cuisine. I wasn’t a huge fan of it while I lived there, but it has really grown on me since returning to the States.

Edit: future dish has a fantastic fresh kimchi recipe that lives in our fridge. It tastes exactly like my lunch ladies in Korea made. Most of their stuff is tasty.

    I have a hoarding problem with cookbooks, especially the decades-old local spiral bound ones. I list the three I most recently acquired:

    • Vij’s at Home: Relax, Honey I have never prepared Indian food in my life outside of heating frozen Trader Joe’s Butter Chicken, but this might widen my palate’s experience
    • Pol Martin’s Easy Cooking for Today My second Pol Martin cookbook. These recipes are not only simple, but the ingredients are common. I’ve enjoyed every result from the recipes I’ve tried, and use them repeatedly
    • The Joy of Cooking, 75th Anniversary Edition I’ve had older editions of this, they’ve been abused and stained from my frequent use. Maybe I’ll get a clear bookstand/guard to protect this from my culinary messes.

    Dittoing Budget Bytes and BBC Good Food for thrifty comfort meals.
