I’ve fallen in love with Canal House Cooks Lunch.
Every day the wonderful women of Canal House, Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer, post a photo of their lunch. These meals are beautiful and put together with real intention. After seeing theirs, I’m always inspired to make mine more interesting. I got to work from home today, so the bowl is filled with leftover bulgur and green bean pilaf (with tomato sauce), and some Rancho Gordo Cargamanto Cranberry Beans, and topped with a fried egg. Underneath the egg there is also leftover Mast-o Khiar, a Persian yogurt dip with cucumber and dill from Sabzi.

I read a lot of cookbooks (unsurprisingly). This is a small selection from the books stacked next to my bed right now*, and I’m still missing quite a few of my favorites. This was a very good year for cookbooks. I’m absolutely adoring all of these, and any one of them would make a fabulous holiday gift.

What are your favorites right now?
* In fact, there are so many books next to my bed that they could form a small table, which, come to think of it, would be quite useful because I still don’t have very much furniture.
