Best Cookbooks of 2015, Globe and Mail, Huffington
Post, Leite's Culinaria This crackling debut effort
by the popular recipe blogger and Globe columnist is one of the
first Canadian cookbooks to convincingly capture the openness and
internationalism of how so many of us eat...A thrill to cook from
and to read.
--Globe and Mail "Tara O'Brady is a ship captain's daughter of
Indian descent living in Ontario, Canada. All of which informs her
perspective in this beautiful and substantial debut
cookbook. She navigates seamlessly across culinary boundaries to
share her stories, recipes, and traditions--the sort, I suspect,
that will be welcomed into many, many kitchens."
--Heidi Swanson, author of Super Natural Every Day "This
book, just like Tara's blog, shares recipes and stories that are
filled with texture, warmth, and her Indian heritage. Tara's
cooking is thoughtful, clean, and full of aroma and flavor.
Her recipe for Baked Eggs, North Indian-Style, served with an
extraordinary topping of Fresh Green Chutney, has become a staple
for my family--and it will for yours, too."
--Aran Goyoaga, author of Small Plates and Sweet
Treats "Seven Spoons is so gorgeous and beautifully
photographed that I just want to jump right into the pages. I
can't wait to savor these amazing dishes, all with a global bent,
starting with breakfast biscuits and spicy, fried Mexican Huevos a
la Plaza de Mercado; then moving on to soups and salads with
flavors culled from the Middle East and East Asia; then ending with
lush, compelling desserts."
--David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen "Tara's
warmth and love of cooking comes through on every page. She
will inspire new cooks to enter the kitchen, and energize those of
us who have been cooking for years."
--Bonnie Stern, author of Friday Night
Dinners
"Tara O'Brady could write a book about re-grouting bathroom tile,
and I would still want to read it. Told with warmth and grace,
Seven Spoons is the story of one very real home kitchen--and
the beautiful food that it yields. From Feel-Better Curried Soup
with Crispy Chicken to Roasted Peaches with Glazed Sesame Oats and
A Burger Treated Like a Steak (bathed in miso butter!), O'Brady's
recipes are exactly what I want to cook and eat: inviting,
reassuring, and above all, inspiring. Seven Spoons is a
keeper."
--Molly Wizenberg, author of Delancey It's not just that
the recipes are unique, but she writes head notes and directions
more beautifully and thorough than any I've seen.
--Sara Forte, author of The Sprouted Kitchen What [is] most
extraordinary, though, was how fluidly she [moves] between culinary
cultures; if a cuisine is a language, she [speaks] a dozen of them,
nailing their grammar, vocabulary, idioms and syntax. Seven Spoons
is superb and stirring...one of the first cookbooks I know
that convincingly captures the openness and internationalism of how
so many Canadians eat today.
--Chris Nutall-Smith, Globe and Mail O'Brady has a knack for making
her recipes seem completely familiar while imparting a unique twist
to each... Seven Spoons [is] one of our favorite cookbooks of
the year.
--Leite's Culinaria A collection of every day recipes with just
a little bit extra.
--Epicurious Seven Spoons is teeming with just the kind of
inspiration we all need ... The recipes are inspiring in a very
specific, homespun way, clearly the product of years of honed
repetition at a family table.
--Deb Perelman, Smitten Kitchen After a decade of developing
her culinary skills, expanding her family's palate, and documenting
the results in a tone both ebullient and educational,
Seven Spoons reads like a best friend's kitchen diary."
--Yahoo Food (cookbook of the week)
