I’m currently super into Chez Panisse Vegetables by Alice Waters and Mexican Today by Pati Jinich. Vegetables is just so useful, I use it as a reference all the time now. And there are so many great ideas! This is my first Pati book and I have to say her food is phenomenal. Everything I’ve made has been a 9 or 10/10. And she is just a total delight to top it off.

What about yall? Any books in heavy rotation right now?

    I am always very into Fuchsia Dunlop’s Sichuanese and other Chinese books. Great recipes, great info, and so much passion for the food and the land. Land of Plenty, Every Grain of Rice… I don’t know if I could pick a favorite. I pick them up just to browse regularly. I can’t recommend her enough, especially the hot pot broth.

    Recently got a copy of her Revolutionary Chinese Cooking and am looking forward to getting into it.

    Also recently rereading Hot Sour Salty Sweet by Alford and Duguid. Beautiful and informative book. Best nuoc mam cham recipe, too (but of course your preferences may vary).
