In midsummer, we buy boxes of tomatoes to dress as minimally as we do in the heat. And in the height of the season, we preserve all that we can, so as to save a taste of summer. We make jarfuls of teriyaki sauce for slathering on chicken. We love to cook big paellas outdoors over a fire for a crowd of friends. We are crazy for ripe melons in late summer.

And we churn tubs of ice cream for our families. With a few exceptions, we use ingredients that are readily available and found in most markets in most towns throughout the United States. All the recipes are easy to prepare some of them a bit more involved , all completely doable for the novice and experienced cook alike. Cook all summer long with Canal House Cooking!

As consumers, we are awash in choices. Most are false choices, so your mind goes blank. And this is as true of cookbooks as it is of the hundreds of cereals that are basically just delivery systems for high-fructose corn syrup. What we want, whether we know it or not, is an editor. Or, better, a curator someone who knows our values and tastes and can reduce the world to the very few things we might like.

Christopher Hirsheimer was one of the founders of Saveur Magazine. She has co-authored four cookbooks and taken the photographs for thirty more. Her bio does not mention a love for sliders. Something happened to Hirsheimer and Hamilton when they moved to little towns across the river from one another in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Fresh produce, of course. But also a gentler pace. They found a loft overlooking a canal and opened a studio: And in late summer they roll up their sleeves and preserve their bounty. Volume 1 is their summer cookbook. It starts with seven kinds of drinks did I say this is a summer cookbook?

They teach you how to hard-boil an egg. Tomato and crab aspic. A sprinkling of salads. Enough ideas for tomatoes to make you less guilty about that big-eyed purchase at the farm stand.

Canal House Cooking Volume No. 1 : Summer

Three kinds of fish. Presented casually, just as you would. With gorgeous pictures and watercolors, just because. Hard to believe that something this useful could be this lovable. But the evidence that this is true is on each and every page. Canal House Cooking is a curated, seasonal summer recipe collection which has become firm favourites of the authors and now they wish to share this with a wider audience.

It is also a rather slim, quirky collection that you will either like immensely or be very, very disinterested in. Despite many interesting recipes this book might be just a bit too much like hard work. Internal navigation is a rather undiscovered concept for the publisher with the only aid to navigation being a list of recipes Canal House Cooking is a curated, seasonal summer recipe collection which has become firm favourites of the authors and now they wish to share this with a wider audience.

Maybe this reviewer got off to a bad start with this book, yet this text just feels like rather insincere filler that you have to read due to how the recipes are presented. A lot could be learned about the presentation of the recipes too - use of sole U. The list can and does go on. At the end it just felt a hassle to look at this book and when you consider its price there are better, more accessible, more interesting books out there. This is a shame as some of the recipes look quite good but they are on the whole hardly unique or so ultra-desirable that you must absolutely buy this book for them.

This could be a great example of how not to produce a cookbook. That is a real shame. One feels so frustrated, so disappointed at its entirety. The content needs a boost, its presentation needs a polish and one really needs to start from scratch. Canal House Cooking Volume No 1: ISBN , pages. Dec 17, Katie rated it liked it.
