The Short Stack Cookbook: Ingredients That Speak Volumes
Another new cookbook I came across in my reading. I was able to quickly and easy download the cookbook as an ebook from my local library — and perhaps you can, too. Don’t forget this excellent source for new books of all sorts.
The Short Stack Cookbook is an interesting complication — selecting 18 “essential ingredients” and then finding some of the best food writers available today to select their best and favorite recipes for that ingredient.
I found a few recipes to check out here in my own kitchen and most of the ingredients were something that I would normally cook and eat — being a bit fussy about my food choices. Brussel sprouts and squash aren’t going to show up on my table unless I am making them for family or guests, but there are plenty of other ingredients to choose from including lemon, apples, cheddar, honey, rice, tomatoes and more.
A few of the recipes I found interesting include:
- Cheddar Obatzda (Beer Cheese)
- Cheddar-Walnut Shortbread
- Lemon-Cornmeal Poundcake
- Lemony Ricotta Pancakes
- Smoked Mozzarella & Sage in Sourdough Carrozza
- Pappardelle wth Bacon & Root Vegetable Ragu
- and many more!
