New cookbooks in the Fall always make us want to set the table, gather the family and enjoy good food. We are excited about several new cookbooks this year and wanted to profile two of our favorites. A beautiful cookbook makes a perfect gift for newlyweds, wedding showers, housewarming gifts…and of course for personal inspiration! Both are available in our store and in our online shop. Check them out and of course, stop in the store to see our whole selection.
Chef Matthew Wendel provides a first-hand account of his years working for President George W. Bush and his family at Camp David and at their Texas home on Prairie Chapel Ranch. He offers a collection of recipes, photographs, stories, and memories of daily life as senior advance representative in the Office of Presidential Advance and as the personal chef and personal assistant to the president. Included with recipes of the author's signature hot cinnamon rolls and fried chicken are the Bush family’s favorite dishes, meals that world leaders were served, and a behind-the-scenes look at how he prepared for head of state visits and shopped for the first family. Wendel's account reveals a unique window into the hard work, detail, and protocol involved in working for the first family and reveals how the president welcomed world leaders using both his home and the power of sharing a meal in an intimate setting as a bridge-building diplomatic tool. Providing wholesome, delicious, comforting food to guests was their way of saying "Welcome. We're glad you are here.” Forward written by Mrs. Laura Bush.
Ina Garten's much anticipated new cookbook will arrive the first week in October! Pre Order your copy and we’ll have it ready for you to pick up in the store or we’ll ship it to you as soon as we receive it! Be the first to use Ina Garten’s much anticipated new cookbook.
In Modern Comfort Food, Ina Garten shares 85 new recipes that will feed your deepest cravings. Many of these dishes are inspired by childhood favorites—but with the volume turned way up, such as Cheddar and Chutney Grilled Cheese sandwiches (the perfect match for Ina’s Creamy Tomato Bisque), Smashed Hamburgers with Caramelized Onions, and the crispiest hash browns that are actually made in a waffle iron!
There are few things more comforting than gathering for a meal with the ones you love, especially when dishes like Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas are at the center of the table. Old-fashioned crowd pleasers like Roasted Sausages, Peppers, and Onions are even more delicious and streamlined for quick cleanup. For dessert? You'll find the best Boston Cream Pie, Banana Rum Trifle, and Black and White Cookies you’ll ever make. Home cooks can always count on Ina’s dependable, easy-to-follow instructions, with lots of side notes for cooking and entertaining—it’s like having Ina right there beside you, helping you all the way.
Both of these new books are available in our store and in our online shop. Happy Cooking!
