I love cookbooks. I rarely cook out of them, but I love to read them. The best ones have color photos of the food and interesting tidbits among the recipes. If it has dishes I would actually make, even better.
I decluttered my cookbooks, so I only have about three left that I read often. In fact, I moved them out of the kitchen and onto my regular bookshelf because I don’t often use them for cooking. However, I love to check out cookbooks from the library.
I just finished one that had everything I love in a cookbook. It had color pictures of the food, it had trivia and photographs among the recipes, and it even had recipes that I want to try. I give it five stars.
The book is The Official John Wayne 5-Ingredient Homestyle Cookbook (published August 2020). Hubby and I watch John Wayne movies all the time, so I thought this would be a fun read. I learned a lot about the movies he made and enjoyed the photos of various co-stars with the Duke.
What I enjoyed most was how down-to-Earth the recipes were. I found ten or eleven that I want to try and they all require ingredients I have in my pantry this moment. That doesn’t happen very often.
If you like quick, easy recipes, check out this cookbook. If you like John Wayne movies, check out this cookbook. If, like me, you read cookbooks for fun, check out The Official John Wayne 5-Ingredient Homestyle Cookbook. It’s a hit, partner.
