A project of my own: I was inspired by Whitney over at @theunreadshelf. In addition to many many books, I have a collection of cookbooks. I love them! I love to look at them and get inspiration (or daydream about cooking). I love the way they look on my shelf. But I have many that I’ve only cooked one or two, or even worse, NO recipes from. I either default to old favorites (or variations of things I’ve done in the past) or get recipes online. So I have a challenge for myself: during 2018 I need to cook/bake at least 8 recipes from each of these 9 cookbooks + the added challenge (a la JULIE AND JULIA) of cooking my way (mostly) through @trinehahnemann ‘s Scandinavian Baking. I have chosen these from my shelves because of the variety of recipes, the skills I can hone or learn, and how many of the recipes will push me in new directions. I will definitely be documenting my journey. @altonbrown @amyrosethielen @jenisicecreams @roccodispirito @chefmschwartz #maryberry #bernardclaytonbread #uncookedbookproject #i bake things #i cook things #cookbook hoarder #2018challenge
