Off the shelf: books for food people
A not-at-all complete list of books I'm looking forward to this year (so far)
Bonjour! Bonjour!
And so, it’s au’revoir galettes des roi in patisserie windows and bonjour everything Valentine’s Day. I had my last galette on January 30 — merci Jane Bertch — and now all that’s left is to admire the crowns and fèves (the charms hidden in the cakes) I’ve collected. I love this tradition, but I’m ready for chocolate and bursts of red.
I’m also ready for the crop of new cookbooks and book-books that are headed our way and excited that some of them were written by friends. As usual with my book lists, there’s the caveat that the list isn’t a complete rundown of what’s new (take a look at Eat Your Books and the terrific newsletter,
, for deeper dives); that it slants toward what I like; and that as soon as I send it to you, I’ll realize that I’ve forgotten something I’d wanted to tell you about. Let’s think of this as the beginning.
