NPR — Best Cookbooks
How many of you equate Brooklyn with delicious baked goods?
Change your tune, non-Brooklynites. TWO of NPR’s picks of the best cookbooks of the year (Baked and The Sweet Melissa Baking Book) come from Brooklyn bakeries (both within walking distance of EarlyWord).
We’re waiting for our favorite street vendor, “The Treats Truck,” which also does its baking in Brooklyn, to produce a cookbook.
But, we digress.
Holds are building on the following titles that were specifically mentioned on the show.
NPR correspondent Susan Chang’s top pick is by an NPR colleague, Lynne Rossetto Kasper.
The Splendid Table’s How to Eat Supper: Recipes, Stories, and Opinions from Public Radio’s Award-Winning Food Show.
