Easy Soups from Scratch with Quick Breads to Match: 70 Recipes to Pair and Share by Ivy Manning My rating: 5 of 5 stars There’s a lot of books on soups and breads, respectively. This is the first example where I have come across them intentionally paired. Oh, and they’re reasonably easy to make; you don’t have to be a chef or speak French to accomplish any of these recipes. I like to make soups for dinner but I often find that soups are a […]

The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen by Sean Sherman

December 13, 2019 by The Chancellor 2 Comments

The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen by Sean Sherman My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen is part memoir, part cookbook, part promotion for indigenous chefs and food. Chef Sean Sherman is a member of the Oglala Sioux nation and is working to revive indigenous foods, ingredients, and methods of preparing food. He brings his skills learned working as a chef at other restaurants to create some delicious recipes. I’m ignorant when it comes to indigenous foods. I mentioned this sad fact […]

Chirp by Kate Messner

November 18, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Chirp is an age appropriate (10-14) book dealing with some heavy subjects. But overall, they are presented respectfully and are accessible to all readers. There were a few bumps in the plot for me, but I felt it was a decent story and for certain the style that you have come to expect from the author. Kate Messner writes about Mia, a young girl moving back to Vermont after several years living in Boston. Her parents and she have come back to help her grandmother […]

Investigators is the first book in a new series by John Patrick Green; who as an author and as an illustrator is busy! He has (so far) The Kitten Construction Company series (currently two books), Hippopotamister (a solo tale) and now the Investigators (book two is planned for a year from now). There are a lot of puns, obvious jokes and toilet humor (literally as they travel the city by flushing themselves through toilets). There are multiple mysteries for this Get Smart meets The Man […]

Some Salads Show Up, Some Could Just Stay Home

Show Up for Salad by Terry Hope Romero

November 3, 2019 by CoffeeShopReader 3 Comments

I have attempted a new rule when it comes to cookbooks: I am not allowed to open a new one which I may have recently bought until I finish working my way through, insofar as is possible) the current one. I’m not always good at this personal rule, but recently it seems to have been working. I somehow missed that Salad Samurai had a sequel, Show Up For Salad, so I had to grab it for use as a lunch for the next several months […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
