I'm currently super into Chez Panisse Vegetables by Alice Waters and Mexican Today by Pati Jinich. Vegetables is just so useful, I use it as a reference all the time now. And there are so many great ideas! This is my first Pati book and I have to say her food is phenomenal. Everything I've made has been a 9 or 10/10. And she is just a total delight to top it off.

What about yall? Any books in heavy rotation right now?

I just finished reading Turtle Island: Foods and Traditions of the Indigenous Peoples of North America. I read it cover to cover and I am unsure if I will ever make a recipe out of it. But man was it interesting, informative and captivating to learn about the native foods in North America. I can't recommend it enough

    It's amazing. It's separated by region from the arctic down to Mexico. Each section talks about the biome, the people who live there, a little history and culture followed by recipes. The recipes use only native ingredients but in an accessible way. I learned so much about foods that had a native origin that isn't talked about. I especially loved the regions around Mexico because I never considered how foods there are unchained for centuries. Highly recommend it.

    I rented it from the library so I read it in like 2 weeks. I might buy it just to have around
