April 2019 New Cookbook Review
April 24, 2019 by JennyApril showers brings a crop of cookbooks from must-have baking
titles to books for the barbecue. Before we spring into those
releases, I would like to highlight three previously released
titles that would be ideal for Mother’s Day gifts:
Midnight Chicken (& Other Recipes Worth Living For) by Ella Risbridger is a touching piece of writing complete with over 100 recipes. Ella’s story struck a chord with me and I could not put it down. While I crave her words, the recipes shared within, balanced with the lovely illustrations, make this title one of my favorites from 2019 (so far).
Jordan
Rondel is the voice behind the website The Caker.
She has written several beautiful little books devoted to my
favorite four letter word: cake: The Caker: 50 New
and Unusual Cake Recipes; The Caker:
Wholesome Cakes, Cookies & Desserts; and The Caker: Sunday
Baking. Jordan also writes a weekly column for the Sunday Star
Times in New Zealand. Her books are delicate works of art with
unique recipes and inspirational photographs. I recently ordered
her titles and am enjoying savoring each delicious
recipe.
Fantastical Cakes: Incredible Cakes for the Baker in Anyone by
Gesine Bullock-Prado is the title for anyone wishing to improve
their cake game. Gesine’s books are must-haves for the baker,
with her latest offering step-by-step instructions for baking,
piping, and making decorations to make cake baking and decoration
approachable.
For more inspiration for gifts for moms and dads see my Gift Guide post.

USA
Icing on the Cake: Baking and Decorating Simple, Stunning Desserts at Home by Tessa Huff is a testament to the writer behind Style Sweet CA‘s talent for all things dessert. Step-by-step technique photos that guide us through creating a classic lattice pie crust to decorating a show-stopping cake. Tutorials such as “getting to know genoise sponge cakes” to piping buttercream flowers. One decadent recipe after another: Pistachio truffle cake, Rainbow no-bake cheesecake and a Berry pistachio pavlova cake. Bonus: Tarts, macarons, mirror glazes, pastries, cupcakes and more are covered. Tessa first book, Layered, is one of my all-time favorite baking books. Tessa’s events are shared on our calendar.
République in Los Angeles has been named one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles (Eater) and also is the recipient of countless accolades from Bon Appetit to Forbes. Margarita Manzke’s Baking at République: Masterful Techniques and Recipes for Bakers provides a guide to doughs and batters that make the baked goods and desserts of this restaurant shine. There are 100 recipes geared to elevate the home baker’s skill. The stunning cover is reflective of the 125 photographs contained inside. Margarita is a four-time semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Pastry Chef award, has been named LA’s best pastry chef by LA Weekly and co-owns three restaurants in LA plus eight other cafe/bakeries in her native Manila. Recipes that include Banana-nutella crostatas, Florentine croissants, and the Brioche fruit tarts from the cover.
EAT COOK L.A.: Recipes from the City of Angels by Aleksandra Crapanzano shares 100 recipes from Los Angeles’ restaurants to food trucks. The author hand selected the chefs and recipes to feature because the food is fresh, simply prepared, and packed with flavor, texture and nuance. A book that highlights a city through its food and people is always a keeper in my estimation. Profiles of greats such as Nancy Silverton or Suzanne Goin, spectacular photos and approachable recipes round out this book.
Heirloom Kitchen: Heritage Recipes and Family Stories from the Tables of Immigrant Women by Anna Francese Gass is thoughtful, important and timely. Anna weaves together forty strong, exceptional women, all immigrants to the United States, whose heirloom recipes have helped shape the landscape of American food into one stunning book. Fall in love with Gina and her Bocconotti Calabrese (Italian hand pies) or Bea’s Swedish Palacinka torta and soak up their experiences through their recipes and stories. This is a book you will cherish. Anna’s events are on our calendar.
My Mexico City Kitchen: Recipes and Convictions by Gabriela Camara brings the vibrancy and flavors of Mexico alive in a beautifully photographed and approachable cookbook. The author’s love of her heritage and cuisine shines here. From her no-waste philosophy and passion for sustainable food, you will immediately respect this chef.

Happiness Is Baking: Favorite Desserts from the Queen of Cake by Maida Heatter is a beautiful tribute to the recipes of the baking icon. Filled with illustrations and Maida’s best recipes, it is a true collector’s item and must-have for bakers, both novice and experienced. Dorie Greenspan opens the book with her recounting of attending a James Beard award ceremony where Maida was being honored that ended with the famed queen of cake tossing brownies into the adoring crowd. Dorie swears by Maida’s recipes as do countless fans. The bonus here are the lovely illustrations and “keeper” recipes.
Save Me the Plums: My Gourmet Memoir by Ruth Reichl may be her greatest work. Compelling and thoughtful, the icon details her reign at the helm of America’s original food magazine from 1999 to its shuttering in 2009. Reichl stretched the boundaries of culinary journalism with practices that included testing a recipe twenty times or flying her staff to Paris to experience French cuisine from market to table. A riveting read. Events

Steak and Cake: More Than 100 Recipes for the Best
Meal Ever by Elizabeth Karmel gives us permission to have our
cake (and steak) and eat it too. The chef’s latest book brings
together a perfect mash-up of two American classics – steak and
cake, or dinner and dessert. Cumin-rubbed flank steak for dinner
followed with Tex-mex chocolate sheet cake for dessert sounds like
a perfect combination. I have made Anthony’s grandmother’s
earthquake cake and it was spectacular. Events

You Love: Restaurant Favorites: Classic and Crave-Worthy Recipes
Low in Sugar, Fat, and Calories by Marlene Koch is a collection
of make-overs (or make better) of those dishes and drinks we all
love when eating out without the excess calories (sugar, fat). The
bonus here is the nutritional and “dare to compare” information

chicken serves up 1,300 calories including 3,200 milligrams of
sodium, over 70 grams of fat, and 3 days’ worth of added sugar!
Marlene’s equally crave-worthy version is just 300 calories with
80% less fat, 85% less sodium, and 90% less sugar!
