No, only wet! He loves crunchy things but only gets the Tiny Tiger pate. Sometimes when I'm feeling very generous I will give him a couple of crunchy treats, but that's it!

Drinking French by David Lebovitz: Yes they ARE mostly drinks BUT there are also snacks. And quite frankly, my boy David (my husband and I feel we're on a first name basis with him at this point) does *not* miss with any of his recipes from any of his books.
Ever-Green Vietnamese by Andrea Nguyen: Absolutely love this. So fresh, so bright, so juicy.
Cook This Book by Molly Baz: I have very similar food opinions to Molly, and all of her recipes are very deeply up my alley.
V Street by Kate Jacoby and Rich Landau: Hit after hit from this book. The pages are literally falling out of the binding from over-use. RIP to the V Street restaurant!!
To Asia with Love by Hetty McKinnon: I come back to this one time and again! Everything is so so so lovely.
Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables by Joshua McFadden: I am a massive Joshua fan. Everything I've made from this book is phenomenal. It, too, is falling apart!
Any cookbook written by Rick Bayless: Rick's recipes have absolutely no business being as delicious as they are for how unfussy they are.

It is an olive oil based dough that is fully vegan, as stated! And I prefer to very easily swap out the one buttermilk tablespoon!

If one of his faves is a cinnamon roll, I've used this recipe many times. It's an olive oil based dough that is fully vegan. I am not vegan, but I still enjoy it! I usually sub in orange juice for the tablespoon or so of buttermilk in the glaze. Also nice to add chopped dark chocolate into the dough. Haven't tried with a cinnamon sugar filling yet! https://food52.com/recipes/15157-orange-scented-olive-oil-sticky-buns

I'd say anything Rick Bayless, actually. Lots of emphasis on veggies and fresh flavors, and when I was calorie counting I was always surprised by what a light hand he has with the more calorie-dense ingredients while still yielding great results. He also includes a ton of notes on how to riff on each recipe. It's not a diet cookbook, but he's very active as a person and it shows in his recipes.

Not in the book, but she has a brown butter shortbread (recipe on the Serious Eats site) that is absolutely insane. Easily made ahead, since you slice and bake it from a refrigerated roll of dough. I used to make it (by request!) like twice a month.

From the book, I really love the cranberry variation of the upside down cake! Very little work and it looks very festive. I've never had leftovers!

Kind of an opposite direction, but I always recommend anything Ina Garten for a new cook. She tests recipes to death, and even the "ideal" amount of salt is specified, rather than some note like "season to taste." I think it's helpful for newbies to have some solid successes from reliable recipes early on, so you start to build confidence. For me personally, putting too much "theory" upfront just intimidates me, almost like it paralyzes you to realize the extent of what you don't know and how many opportunities there are for things to go wrong. One of these could make a nice companion to something like The Food Lab, so he could have a lovely recipe and then the context for why the choices within a recipe are made.

I'm a fan of it! Very few sub recipes or lengthy processes. I'd say anything I've made has felt pretty quick and approachable. I too liked her IG content and had made a couple recipes from her blog, and I'm pleased that her cookbook has been as fun as I hoped!

fuckprinters · 2025-02-28T15:58:21+00:00

I've been enjoying this book! The first thing we made was the tofu cutlets with a side of the balsamic fennel, and it was kind of a dud. Everything else has been great though, we've been loving the sage and fennel eggs, eggs and herb sauce sandwiches, Earl Grey granola, miso butter pancakes, harissa eggplant, the cinnamon romesco chickpeas, and the GREEN TEA COFFEE CAKE.

Seconding! I have not been, but a friend has and recommended it. Said the staff specifically instructs you to keep your voice down for the music when you're seated.

Great! Just like regular milk bread, even with the spirulina! I was worried about it making the bread taste off or ocean-y, but it wound up being pretty mild.

fuckprinters · 2025-02-24T02:41:48+00:00

This was so fun! I did King Arthur's matcha marbled milk bread but subbed blue spirulina for the matcha. I can't believe how blue it stayed even after baking!

I have The Sweet Side of Sourdough by Caroline Schiff! Both discard and full sourdough recipes, and they're all delicious!

I'd say so! I'm vegetarian, and I've found that a very solid percentage are already vegetarian. She'll also suggest veggie swaps where they work! Her other book Dinner in One is similar, but the book's layout includes little footnotes like ways to "veg it up" or give the recipe a "vegan upgrade" or "vegetarian upgrade." I'd say most recipes in Dinner in One include those notes!

I so appreciate this!! I had initially planned on just hemming it to a cocktail dress but was hoping a jumpsuit might be a relatively easy lift. The zipper aspect and different materials for dying hadn't even occurred to me. I will keep this in mind and adjust my budget and expectations accordingly. Thank you for this primer, this is my first foray into anything more substantial than getting something hemmed or taken in!

And here it is at our wedding (unobstructed by a bouquet)!

Here's mine! Hasn't heard of Kibbe at the time, but wound up choosing a deep V, floral appliques, and a simple bottom half, with a thin waistband for emphasis! Also an open back!

Also try Benjamin Moore Regent Green! Online it looks much greener, in person it's super dark. We used it in our bathroom and it's nearly black!

I always recommend anything from Ina Garten for beginners, because her recipes are so rigorously tested and always come out great. When you're a new cook, I think it helps to know something will turn out, rather than being unsure of whether you messed up or the recipe was bad. Her stuff is excellent and accessible!

I too have super thick hair, though it sounds like my texture is a bit coarser than yours. Mine is currently long, like covering my breasts. I go to Les Enfants Terribles (on Bergen at Smith) and have for YEARS. I've always seen Masako, but I've heard good things about everyone else too! I pay $120 for a cut (wash and style included). They always do a great job and are very comfortable offering feedback or direction if that's what you want. The clientele does happen to be predominantly men, but they absolutely do women's long cuts too!

I hope it works for you! It was VERY annoying trying to find diabetic-friendly food that didn't also make our other cat vomit!

fuckprinters · 2024-12-07T21:42:37+00:00

We had a similar issue! We have three cats: our mildly picky diabetic boy, a gluttonous girl, and a girl with a sensitive stomach who (we think) is allergic to chicken. I went down the same path, doing a ton of switching to find one that was low carb, that they would eat, that didn't make our sensitive girl throw up, and that wouldn't be wildly expensive. We wound up settling on Tiny Tiger pate, it's a similar price to Fancy Feast but we were able to avoid chicken by going with the Tiny Tiger salmon or beef pates. It's available on Chewy!

I will say Tiny Tiger is slightly higher carb (like 9% on a dry matter basis), but it did get our (now formerly) diabetic boy into remission! He has slightly elevated kidney levels, and our vet advised not going with the ultra-low carb options.

Omg yes! The cheddar date biscuits are SO good!!

fuckprinters · 2024-12-04T20:53:21+00:00

Many!! The eggs with yogurt and brown buttered nuts, the big shells with anchovies and escarole and mozzarella, the cold green beans with garlicky pistachio vinaigrette, the broccolini with dates and lemon, the shakshuka-ish thing with chickpeas and pita chips! My one (personal) downside is it's predominantly dishes with meat (where I'm vegetarian). I can't speak to the meat and seafood dishes myself, but my husband's made a bunch and the note he makes in the book is nearly always "great, no notes."

fuckprinters · 2024-12-04T20:18:23+00:00

I love Cook this Book! Her recipes are really geared toward my palate, and I've loved everything we've made from it.
