Comfort at Home
B; M;;; R;;;;;;
This spring’s cookbooks are all about comfort,
and simplicity.
Whether you’re a country music singer, a cowboy, or a couple of Italian pizza
makers from Staten Island, you want to make your guests feel at home.
Two of this season’s biggest cookbooks come from country singers.
Oh
Gussie! Cooking and Visiting in Kimberly’s Southern Kitchen
, by
Kimberly Schlapman, one of the founding members of platinum-selling
Little Big Town, focuses on down-home Southern cooking. Given the
success of
Kimberly’s Simply Southern
, Schlapman’s cable TV show, Morrow
has announced a 150,000-copy first printing. Trisha Yearwood returns
with
Trisha’s Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life
, with
a foreword by Garth Brooks—and an announced 400,000 first printing
from Clarkson Potter.
Meanwhile, Kent Rollins, a real Oklahoma cowboy, invites home cooks
to his chuck wagon in
A Taste of Cowboy: Ranch Recipes and Tales
from the Trail
.
As New York City’s fifth borough, Staten Island gets little love, but
Francis Garcia and Sal Basille—the Artichoke Pizza Guys—offer humor in
comfort in
Staten Italy: Nothin’ but the Best Italian-American
Classics, from Our Block to Yours.
You can always count on Phaidon to introduce the underappreciated
cuisine of a country—and to do it big and beautifully. In
Peru: The
Cookbook
, the country’s most acclaimed chef, Gastón Acurio, offers 500
traditional home-style recipes. This season, several cookbooks highlight
the food of Lebanon, and Maureen Abood, a Lebanese-American, presents
an American take in
Rose Water and Orange Blossoms: Fresh &
Classic Recipes from My Lebanese Kitchen
.
Bryan Voltaggio is another chef with a book out this spring. His
Home:
Recipes to Cook with Family and Friends
celebrates American comfort
food.
A Girl and Her Pig
chef and author April Bloomfield turns to vegeta-
bles in
A Girl and Her Greens: Hearty Meals from the Garden
. And
Food52 Genius Recipes: 100 Recipes That Will Change the Way You
Cook
, by Kristen Miglore and Amanda Hesser, is the first title from a new
imprint at Ten Speed called Food52 Works. The book collects more than
100 recipes from big names such as Julia Child, Alice Waters, and David
Chang.
Looking further ahead, there are some hot meats coming this summer:
in
Feeding the Fire: Recipes and Strategies for Better Barbecue and
Grilling
, Joe Carroll, owner of Fette Sau and St. Anselm in Brooklyn,
offers 20 lessons to grilling foods.
