Pleasant Surprises

I was walking to the Womxn’s March last week when I got two texts from my friend, BG. He’s a family doctor turned AirBnB Superhost (6 quarters in a row!). The first text was that he had a couple of food questions for me. The second was “I have some cookbooks for you.” That got my attention. Apparently one of his guests was a private chef who left him some cookbooks to lighten his load for his flight home. BG delivered them the next day. One, Cooking Dirty, was a book I already had. The others are:

Canyon Ranch Cooks, by Scott Uehlein. Recipes from the spa.

Little Foods of the Mediterranean, by Clifford A. Wright. I have his earlier book, Cucina Paradiso, that describes the Arabic influences on the cuisine of Sicily.

The French Kitchen, by Michel Roux, Jr. Updated French recipes.

The Salt Lick Cookbook, by Scott Roberts and Jessica Dupuy. Recipes from a Texas BBQ restaurant.

They’re definitely good coffee table books. Now I’ll have to see how good they are in the kitchen.

Not a bad haul. Thanks, BG!
