The Latest Cookbooks - June 2023
A Splash of Soy: Everyday Food From Asia
by Lara Lee, Bloomsbury, $50
Chinese-Indian Australian chef and food writer Lara Lee brings us 80 recipes in this new cookbook, building on her debut Indonesian cookbook Coconut and Sambal. With cabbage growing in the vege patch, I’ll be plating up the Blistered Miso Cabbage with Seaweed. “While this recipe makes a significant side, the miso butter sauce elevates it into main meal territory, while the sprinkling of seaweed shards add umami and an extra-delicious savoury element to what is already a knockout meal,” says Lara. The chapters make it easy to find all the other dishes you want to make!
Sweet Enough
by Alison Roman, Hardie Grant Books, $65
A stylish cookbook for the bookshelf or kitchen bench, this is the first baking book by Alison Roman – the face behind the New York Times bestselling cookbooks Nothing Fancy and Dining In. Formerly a pastry chef, the book has over 100 stunning photographs and 80 recipes – all labelled as simple and flexible. There’s a jam that can be made in the oven, and effortless cakes – simple yet sublime sweets with Alison’s trademark casualness. The Salty Lemon Shortbread and Alison’s Perfect Salted Shortbread sound perfect to pair
with a cuppa.
