#ABRAMSDinnerParty

I am always delighted by #bookmail & #cookbookmail & I received my review copy of Joy Bauer‘s latest cookbook yesterday as part of the #abramsdinnerparty event I am involved with. I do worry that I won‘t have the ingredients readily available to “ road test” cookbooks for review but I glanced through it & I think there are several recipes I can make. The book chickens 🐔🐔 are pleased.😉

Today‘s finished Potato-Leek Soup with Tarragon & Fennel Seeds From this vegan cookbook for #abramsdinnerparty 75 recipes from plant-based leaders, chefs & companies. I tagged a bunch of recipes to make & although a few of the recipes include particular products, most use simple ingredients readily found at a good grocery store, health store or farmers market. The easy soup is so good—the tarragon & fennel add great flavor. Recipe/review link👇🏻

Did some #audiocooking to this book today. I maybe could have picked a lighter listen for the first day of 2020 but it‘s very good. Painful but good. 😢

These are Mini Artichoke Lasagnas from “The Forest Feast Mediterranean” a gorgeous vegetarian cookbook I am going to be reviewing for #AbramsDinnerParty. 👇🏻These will be paired with a novel for a book tour review tomorrow. They are quite good for low effort & I like the portion control.
😉😋

Finishing up a too-short weekend by dipping back into some of the essays, interviews & questionnaires in this fun foodie volume so I can review it soon as part of #AbramsDinnerParty. Max🐱says that “Cats on Food” would be a far more interesting book. I think he is a bit biased. 😹

Maya Rudolph‘s Chocolate Chili & my review of Questlove‘s new cookbook are on the blog for #soupersundays. (Link 👇🏻) I adore Questlove & was excited to receive the book as part of #abramsdinnerparty as I feel slightly cooler😎 by owning it!😉Great mix of recipes from Questlove‘s guest list of eclectic friends, paired with his mixtape list of songs they inspire. I made the vegetarian chili as I was intrigued by the chocolate chip/Frito topping.😋

DebinHawaii Easy recipe & the chocolate chips & other toppings add interesting layers of flavor. Link to full review & recipe: http://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2019/11/maya-rudolphs-chocolate-chili-from.ht... 4y

Today‘s soup is the Spinach, Coconut & Chickpea Soup from this delightful cookbook I received as part of #abramsdinnerparty The soup is delicious & the book is full of mostly simple recipes for the oven accompanied by charming illustrations & photos of the finished dishes. It‘s set up by month & has a good amount of veggie dishes. I tagged a bunch of things to make & need to explore the rest of the author‘s Home Made books. Recipe/review link👇🏻

umbrellagirl That looks so good! 4y
sprainedbrain Yumm. Thanks for the link! 4y

Caterina That looks great! How many of the recipes are vegetarian and lactose free/how easy would it be to change them? 4y
DebinHawaii @umbrellagirl It‘s really good! 😋 4y
DebinHawaii @sprainedbrain Hope you try it & like it! 👍 4y
DebinHawaii @Caterina It‘s hard to do more than estimate. The vegetarian recipes are more than a 1/3 of the book (the rest is meat & fish & baked goods. The challenge is the lactose free-there is a fair amount of cheese & milk & other dairy in there. Depending on your desire & ability to use non-dairy substitutes you could do it but, this is by no means a vegetarian book. You may want to look for it at a library to try. 4y
Caterina Thanks so much! 👍 I might see if the library has it. Lactose free is a loose category - I'm lactose intolerant but still use butter in things and can have hard cheeses, I just need to avoid having significant amounts of dairy! 4y

There‘s a chapter in this book on stories, impressions & interviews of women in food called “what is a good thing to put on toast.” For me avocado is always a winner. My colleague gave me one of 3 ginormous ones she received & I made a bunch of guacamole. Here on toast with garlic butter & TJ‘s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning.😋🥑🍞📚I was lucky to receive this book to review as part of #abramsdinnerparty

Suet624 I saw that avocado toast and knew you must be the author of the post. 😀 4y
DebinHawaii @Suet624 I am just too predictable! 🥑🍞🤣🤣🤣 4y

I Can Cook Vegan | Isa Chandra Moskowitz

Pickpick

Even though I‘ve just cooked the Creamy Chickpea Bow Tie Soup (so far) from this book, I‘m going to go ahead & give it a pick because...well...it‘s Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Whether new cook, new vegan, wanting to eat more veg-friendly or like me, just want good food on the table quickly, this book has something to offer. The soup is rich, delicious & easy to make. I‘ll be using this cookbook, part of #abramsdinnerparty, A LOT. Recipe/review link👇🏻

DebinHawaii Link to a yummy vegan soup with a “ pot pie vibe” & my review are here: http://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2019/10/creamy-chickpea-bow-tie-soup-from-i-c... 4y
