Modernist Cuisine at Home by Nathan Myhrvold, Cooking Lab, The. Bought it as a gift, but couldn¿t part with it After buying so many cookbooks over the years, I now prefer cookbooks that also focus on technique, not just ingredients, which is what this book delivers.

Modernist Cuisine at Home by Nathan Myhrvold, Cooking Lab, The

It inspired me to purchase a pressure cooker, which is now my new favorite tool. (Many of us grew up with moms/grandmas who inadvertently blew up something in a pressure cooker…spaghetti sauce on the ceiling, etc. ,…so many of my friends are surprised to hear that they are back in vogue.) I also appreciate the tips on non-traditional ingredients, for example, sodium citrate, which helps to prevent cheeses from separating in dishes such as mac & cheese.

Pumpkin Monkey Bread

It’s almost as much fun to say as it is to eat, and with the arrival of autumn, I couldn’t stop thinking about taking my usual recipe and kicking it up a notch with the addition of pumpkin – so, of course, I did. Making monkey bread has always brought with it feelings of nostalgia for me, which makes it one of my favorite sweets to share with family and friends. In fact, the day after I made it, I invited a good friend over so that I could share it with her, along with some apple cider – a lovely way to spend an autumn afternoon, if you ask me! Even though it takes some time to make, most of it is hands-off time – like any yeasted bread, you can leave the dough to rise and go off and do other things while you wait.
