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)
