February Highlights – Part II

Earlier this month, I shared details about some exciting February releases and today I have a few more to bring to your attention. As always, I will have more about these titles and all new releases in my monthly roundup later this month. 

Wholehearted by Kelly Gibney is filled with over 100 recipes for inspiringly accessible nourishing meals. This title which is being released in New Zealand (and available in the US and UK) contains recipes to cater to everyone’s dietary requirements. An abundance of gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options for ideas for breakfast through to dinner and dessert ensures that feeding everyone in your life, including yourself, with wholesome food that is both delicious and easy, never feels like a chore ever again.

Flipping Good!: Pancakes from Across the World by Sudi Pigott takes influences from countries all over the world to create a unique collection of recipes. We love pancakes in this house and I preordered this book because of the list of recipes which include Ricotta pancakes with Banana and Honeycomb Orange Butter; Potato Latkes with Sumac Fried Egg; Galettes de Sarrasin with Leeks and Merguez sausage; Okonomiyaki with Shredded Cabbage, Prawns and Tamarind Sauce; Fluffy Coconut Flour Pancakes with Apricots and Maple Syrup; and Kaiserschmarren with Plum Compote. This title is being released in the UK and US. and I will provide more details once my order arrives.

 

Dinner Déjà Vu: Southern Tonight, French Tomorrow by Jennifer Booker shares recipes for two delicious meals, one Southern and one French, from one list of ingredients. The Southern-born author traveled to Paris to study French cooking at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts only to realize that rustic French and Southern dishes use many of the same ingredients. This is Jennifer’s second title, her first book Field Peas to Foie Gras looks like a winner as well. Frequently, I repurpose a meal in our home so that no one cries “leftovers again?” so I’m looking forward to this title which is being released in the US.

Everyday Delicious: Super Tasty Breakfasts, Brunches, Mains, Desserts & Snacks by Izy Hossack is the paperback version of Top with Cinnamon which is being released in the UK and US this month. I recently posted a review of this title on Sunday Supper Movement and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of dishes this young blogger has created. Her next title, The Savvy Cook will be out in July and is geared toward cooking for one or two people. Izy is someone to watch. The Chocolate Chip Amaretto Torte from Everyday Delicious is fantastic! 

The Homemade Vegan by Joanne O’Connell is being published in the UK this month and comes to the US in April. This book is a collection of recipes from vegan’s early days giving them the proper context and referencing the communities and households who created them. The recipes demonstrate affordable ways to eat healthy dairy alternatives, without the added chemicals, sugar, and salt, which are now so often added to the processed versions produced by major food manufacturers. 

breddos Tacos: A Delicious Edible Plate by Nud Dudhia and Chris Whitney was released in 2016 in the UK and is coming to the US this month.  The book offers over 75 recipes for tacos, tostadas, and small plates, and over 70 condiments. Their awesome dishes include Barbacoa beef cheeks, Yucatan chicken with mango habanero sauce, Green chorizo and duck egg, Baja fish tacos, and Octopus ‘al pastor’ with roasted pineapple. The book is packed with gorgeous photos and recipes for accompaniments, wings and more.  

Naturally Nourished: Healthy, Delicious Meals Made with Everyday Ingredients by Sarah Britton streamlines vegetarian cooking by bringing her signature bright photography and fantastic flavors to an accessible cookbook fit for any budget, any day of the week. Her mains, sides, soups, salads, and snacks all call for easy cooking techniques and ingredients found in any grocery store. With callouts to vegan and gluten-free options and ideas for substitutions, this beautiful cookbook shows readers how to cook smart, not hard. The author’s first book, My New Roots, is absolutely gorgeous and I am excited to get my hands on this title!
