For those of us who are enamored of cookware, mixers, bowls and cooking utensils, stores like Sur La Table are dangerous places. We walk in and are instantly taken by a shiny chrome pasta machine or the sleek mandoline. Often times, we plunk down our cash for these items, but once we get them home, intimidation starts to set in and we question whether the purchase was such a good idea. Frequently, these tools get shoved to the back of the kitchen cabinet to collect dust until, years later, you pull them out and sell them at a garage sale. The new cookbook, Things Cooks Love, is setting out to help you make the most of those stove top smokers, fish poachers and tortilla presses. Written by cooking teacher and cookbook author Marie Simmons, this book starts off with the basics and moves on to the more glamorous and unusual tools and pieces of cookware.
In addition to being a useful and easy-to-follow book, this volume is also downright beautiful. It would make a wonderful gift for the foodie in your life, as it is filled with gorgeous photography and each page is designed to be interesting and eye-catching. It is definitely a winner.
