Curl up with a blanket and some eggnog and enjoy these cheesy reads. Or, wrap them up for a turophile friend’s holiday gift!<\/p>\n
Reading chef Whitney Otawka\u2019s debut cookbook, The Saltwater Table: Recipes from the Coastal South <\/em>(Abrams, October 2019; $40), is like stepping into the sweltering steam of the book\u2019s namesake area and being handed a fresh bowl of ceviche. Bright in ingredients and design alike, the tome is rife with illustrations of mollusks, shots of vibrant citrus, and plenty of greenery. In case you\u2019re thinking to yourself Where\u2019s the cheese?<\/em>, we\u2019re here to assure you Otawka\u2019s got that covered; she\u2019s dedicated an entire section to Southern cheesemakers and her recipes run the dairy gamut. Ricotta Dumplings with Sweet Peas, Baby Carrots, and Parmesan Broth, and Caramelized Pumpkin with Guajillo Chile and Spiced Yogurt (garnished with grated Manchego) are only a couple of the cheesy recipes you\u2019ll find within.<\/p>\n Cheese Boards to Share: How to Create a Stunning Cheese Board for Any Occasion<\/em> (Ryland Peters & Small, September 2019; $20) is packed with all the info you need to know about crafting cheese boards. From board themes to cocktail pairings, author Thalassa Skinner offers the knowledge she gained from her time at Boston\u2019s Formaggio Kitchen and 10-plus years as culture\u2019s<\/strong> co-founder. The book includes simple recipes for accompaniments like Garden Patch Pickles and Rainbow Pepper Oatcakes, as well as advice on how to choose a showstopping wedge. Skinner spares few details in her comprehensive notes, pairings, and even substitution suggestions for every cheese described. Pick up this book to perfect your party plate.<\/p>\n This posthumous biography is everything you\u2019d expect an Anthony Bourdain book to be: honest, passionate, inspiring, and decidedly brash. Anthony Bourdain: The Last Interview: and Other Conversations<\/em> (Melville House, August 2019; $17) illuminates the prolific chef\u2019s opinions on travel, parenting, Trump\u2019s presidency, and beyond. Bourdain\u2019s approach to food was to leave no stone unturned, no question unanswered, and no expletive unsaid. His decades-long television career gave us many cheesy moments, like the time he discovered joy in the cheese carts of Marseille, France on Parts Unknown, or the many occasions in which he professed his love for cacio e pepe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Curl up with a blanket and some eggnog and enjoy these cheesy reads.
