The cookbooks of the best gastronomic blogs in 2012

I cannot be more than excited with this compilation of the books that have fallen into my hands lately, a summary of the blogger colleagues and friends who make the 2.0 world a haven of peace and stress and transmit it to paper, books that are from everyone and for everyone.

They have worked it! Super complete and full of stories, in addition to recipes we will find personal experiences, a lot of humor in some of them, unpublished recipes and especially food, good, the one you imagine the smell of just reading the recipe. And most importantly, they are recipes made and tested, those that friends and family have eaten, and that is why they are there, because they are great.

As Mikel would say in the presentation of his book with this phrase by John Waters: “You have to turn books back into something that is cool. If you go home with someone and they don’t have books, don’t throw it away ”Wise advice, never trust someone who doesn’t have books at home. I hope you like this great selection, great reservation.

The pop cuisine of El Comidista (Various (plaza & janes))

This book is cool, cool, and they take it from Mr. Iturriaga’s hands, hey !!! On the 22nd it was the presentation and it will surely sweep sales this Christmas. I have had the opportunity to delve into it, and it fulfills the expectations that I had made with it, super complete, with an air to the previous one, “The recipes of the comidista”  adding the great successes of this season as the breaker ” Food that you should not keep in the fridge ”, the old recipes or the one that has become a classic on Fridays,“ Alo comidista “.

Pop cuisine is pop because it relates food to film, music, television, fashion or advertising. And it’s also pop because the recipes are as easy and straightforward as a Ramones song or Game of Thrones episode. This book collects the particular universe of the blog and expands it with photos and new sections such as the “Oldies”, the “Menus to watch series” or the recipes of invited artists.

He also updates his delirious interviews with old dishes and selects the best from the most bizarre culinary practice, “Hello, Comidista.” Mikel López Iturriaga practices a particular “signature cuisine” that mixes delicious recipes and somewhat irreverent practical advice. The key to enjoying food is not spending a lot of time or money on expensive ingredients or absurd sophisticated preparations. You just need to have fun … and a book like this. Do not miss it, a gem!

Cook for 2 – irresistible recipes

The Cook for 2 : Irresistible Recipes book contains 40 recipes not available on the blog. They all have a reason why they are in the book, and that is explained in the little footer of the recipes. They are very much based on my grandmother’s cooking, and they all remind me of someone I care about.

I leave you with the epilogue of the great Sacha Hormaechea that perfectly defines the book.

“I didn’t have the book in hand yet, but I would have appreciated it. I already know that I can see your recipes online, but fortunately not the whole planet is connected to a computer; not in my shelter. I tugged from memory and started thinking about the photos. Those that remind me of the first kitchen photos from the 70s, which I saw in French women’s magazines, soft photos with that sincere light, which launch to teach the newly finished recipe, almost without time to rest, with the desire to share them quickly, because they are not just for photographing, they are for eating after being portrayed. ”
