I wanted to start a thread to share some of my favorite blogs and cookbooks. I hope we can use this thread to share new blogs or cookbooks as they become available.

Cookbooks Patti Jinich- Treasures of the Mexican Table This is a fantastic cookbook that’s broadened my understanding of Mexican cuisine. The Achiote Chicken in particular is always a crowd pleaser.

The Woks of life blog and cookbook has been in the rotation of our weekly meals for some time now. I originally tried their chicken and brocolli recipe as our local Chinese restaurant is not that great. I have come to love their ultimate chili oil. It’s kinda like the Frank’s Red Hots commercial- I put it on everything.

Blogs

I love these two blogs, as they are fantastic introductions to Japanese and Korean cooking.

Just one cookbook The Oyakdon recipe from here might be one of my favorite meals hands down. Simple, easy to throw together and great flavor.

Korean Bapsang The bibimbap recipe is a great starting point to introduce yourself to Korean cuisine. I wasn’t a huge fan of it while I lived there, but it has really grown on me since returning to the States.

Edit: future dish has a fantastic fresh kimchi recipe that lives in our fridge. It tastes exactly like my lunch ladies in Korea made. Most of their stuff is tasty.

    I second the ultimate chili oil from The Woks of Life. It’s seriously amazing.

    One Pan, Two Plates by Carla Snyder has consistently been my most used cookbook. I have to modify the recipes to be gluten free in some cases, but I haven’t tried a single recipe from it that I didn’t like.

    Bowl by Lukas Volger has amazing recipes for ramen and bibimbap that are all vegetarian. I’ve found that Rice Ramen works really well as a gluten free replacement for the ramen noodles.

    Damn Delicious is my favorite blog. The copycat recipe for PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps is especially good.
