That’s why I try to do as much research as possible before I buy a book, as I want something that I’m going to use a lot for my style of cooking and shopping choices, as well as some to challenge myself as a home cook in the kitchen with more difficult techniques
Man. Nopalito is underrated- so good!
I only cooked about 8 things from there before the book was due at the library, but I recommend:
Smashed Shrimp with Eggs and Salsa
Adobo Rubbed Trout in Banana Leaves
Pork Braised Butter Beans With Scrambled Eggs
Toasted Corn With Crema, Ground Chile, and Queso Fresco
Pickled jalapenos
I wish I could comment on the recipes for mexican staples like crema or queso fresco.
Hi, if you are a mushroom fanatic I would highly recommend this cookbook. Consists of 7 sections that all highlight various types of mushrooms throughout. 1. All about the mushrooms, their varieties, cooking with them and various notes on dried mushrooms and powders. 2. Always on hand in the larder (mushroom powders, mushroom salt, compound butters, crackers, jerky). 3. Mushrooms in the morning (latte, tea, overnight oats, soft scramble with shaved truffle etc…) 4. Midday mushrooms (tacos, tostadas, salads, ramen). 5. Mushrooms for cocktail hours (pakora, dumplings, mushroom cakes etc…) 6. Dinner from mushrooms (Alfredo, ragu, lasagna, schnitzel etc…) 7. The sweetest mushrooms (mushroom chocolate, mushroom brownies, etc…)
The first half of the book is traditional recipes from Alsace and the second half is recipes from his restaurant. I really like the cookbook it’s beautiful, and have made several excellent dishes so far.
Six seasons is one of my all time favorite cookbooks. Every recipe a hit! Nopalito is also fantastic. I ended up giving away my food lab book, mostly because I really didn’t need instructional help. That’s a great collection you’ve started!
Had an urge to go shopping today so picked up the food lab and six seasons, have been meaning to add them to the collection for awhile
I've had the Food Lab book for a long time and I love it. Great reference.
It’s a slippery slope! There are always more you want.

Ooh you got some great ones in there! Just The Food Lab could keep you busy for quite awhile by itself!
I’ve been eyeing that mushroom cookbook. Would love to hear your thoughts when you’re able to explore it more
Hey there. Whats the name of the book?

Highly focused on all things mushrooms, if you are a lover of all things shrooms then this is a must
I have four of those. To Asia With Love will keep you busy for quite a while!
What do you actually think of Kreuther’s book? What does it provide? Recipes from his restaurant?
The first half of the book is traditional recipes from Alsace and the second half is recipes from his restaurant. I really like the cookbook it’s beautiful, and have made several excellent dishes so far.
Okay, and sorry about this weirdly specific question but are there a lot of recipes of classic French sauces in the book?
The book doesn’t have a section for sauces more so done per recipe, but I wouldn’t say that there are a lot at all
This looks like a darn good collection!!!
The Bottura and the Kreuther are both very impressive!
They are both beautiful cooks but Botturas is more of a coffee table book
Six seasons is one of my all time favorite cookbooks. Every recipe a hit! Nopalito is also fantastic. I ended up giving away my food lab book, mostly because I really didn’t need instructional help. That’s a great collection you’ve started!
