he last time we rev iewed cookbooks wa s Spring 2019, and there are a slew of beautiful ne w books that have come out in the last three years. Yes, the pandemic had all foo d lovers, writers, blo creatives busy in the gg ers and kitchen. These books all have interesting, deeper stories than jus t recipes. They are sn apshots into the lives of the writers, seen through the len s of the meals they have prepared and en joyed. Not just the pro cess of cooking, but also the shoppin g, prepping and the sto ries behind the process. W hile it wa s difficult to narrow it down, these three books have become ind ispensable for me, an d I’m working my way through each on e … slowly! One bo ok, one recipe, one meal, one bite at a tim e. I hope you pick on e (or all of them) up and dive in. It’s a most enjoyable pastime and one of life’s greatest joys. Bon ap petit!
