Cookbook Club Redux

Good Morning All,

It's been a minute since we talked cookbooks. Over two years, in fact. Let's do a little update to what books I (Joe) keep on sticking my nose into.

Totally Not Cookbooks

What a weird place to start - talking about cookbooks with a trio of books that aren't cookbooks at all.

Pasta, Pane, Vino

Rice, Noodle, Fish

Grape, Olive, Pig

These three travel books by Matt Goulding of Roads and Kingdoms are perfect fodder for lazy weekends spent outside. Each dive deep into the three major components of some of the world's most inspirational food cultures. Italy, Japan and Spain. While these books were published many years back, they still serve as an inspiration to eat and travel.

Cookbooks I'm Constantly Referencing

The Perfect Loaf by Maurizio Leo

As an at-home sourdough bread baker, this is the holy grail of manuals. I've used plenty of baking cookbooks over the years and each has taught me some valuable new skill but The Prefect Loaf seems to have it all.

Dr. BBQ's Big Time BBQ Cookbook by Ray Lampe

BBQ is both much easier and much harder than folks think. Whenever I'm smoking something, this is what I'm grabbing.

Fish & Shellfish by James Peterson

As a midwesterner, cooking seafood isn't a part of my natural vernacular. This tome breaks everything down (including breaking down seafood) into digestible bits and has very some tasty and inspirational recipes.

Cookbooks That I Keep Coming Back but (Almost) Never Cook Out Of

Cooking by Hand by Paul Bertolli

A first person survey of Chef Bertolli's relationship with food. His deep connections with the ingredients he loves avoids coming off as precious and is a wonderful meditation in slowing down.

Pork & Sons by Stéphane Reynaud

Holy porky goodness. Stéphane Reynaud takes you from his family's tradition of whole hog processing to some of tastiest (and stunning) recipes. Beautifully photographed, if ever there were a kick in the ass to spend the day in the kitchen preparing delicious food for Sunday dinner, this is it.

What cookbooks are you guys all cracking into? New or old, we'd love to hear from you. Our collections are never complete so give us some ideas for expansion!

🍻,

Joe + Erin

I need to skip this week!

Please email us by Sunday evening if you'd like us to skip the order that is due to process on Monday! This would not be for the items listed above but for the following delivery. It really, REALLY helps us if you skip BEFORE orders process early Monday morning.

I'm traveling this week/month/year!

You can take us with you! Get in touch and we'll put together a custom package of goodies to keep you sated while you're enjoying the Cape or Bar Harbor. If you're expecting to be away for several weeks or months we can put your subscription on hold.

I'm allergic and/or hate this item!

Send us an email with your name and we'll make a note to your account to substitute those items when they're a part of your share.

What do I do with these bags/ice packs?

Please leave them outside for our drivers to collect and return to home base. We'll get them cleaned up and back into rotation.

We want YOU... to email us

If something is amiss in your order, or you need to make a special request, we want to know about it. Email us—we love hearing from you and we're happy to help however we can!

Have a wonderful weekend!
—The Fam Din Team

Recipes

Maple-Glazed Hakurei Turnip and Shiitake on Soba Noodles - First thing I think of when hakurei turnips are finally in season.

The Best Way to Grill Sausages - This is a technique vs. a recipe but one of the most valuable techniques around as we move into Father's Day and summer cookouts. Bottom line: start slow and low, finish fast and hot.

Tim McNulty's Skate Wings Piccata - Not sure why I've never thought of this as it makes so much sense. Putting on the list of Need to Cook ASAP.
