Most Popular Cookbooks & Kitchen Equipment [Spring 2012]

July 2, 2012      15 comments »

Can you believe that this year is already halfway over?! I’m still pinching myself; I’m in total disbelief that it’s already July! You know what that means, though – another few months in the books means another quarterly edition of the most popular cookbooks and kitchen goodies around. As I mentioned before, I love learning about the most popular purchases from the people that I consider my peers. Big newspaper top ten lists are great, but I think it’s even better to know the tastes of people that I consider similar to myself. Below are lists of cookbooks, e-cookbooks, kitchen equipment, and magazine subscriptions that have been most popular with Brown Eyed Baker readers over the last three months. Hopefully you’ll find some new things to add to your with list! Happy Browsing!

    So many items for frozen treats. It’s great to see people are taking an interest in making these at home. It’s great for everyone.

    My newest cookbook is The Cheesemongers Kitchen: Celebrating Cheese in 90 Recipes. It gives lots of great information on how to select and purchase quality cheeses, as well as suggested wine pairings and recipes.

    My newest kitchen “toy” is an OXO Citrus Juicer – compact, easy to use and goes straight into the dishwasher!

    Thanks for the lists – can’t wait to check some of these cookbooks out!

    Last kitchen toy I bought myself was a food mill. Planning to use it this weekend to make tomato sauce. I am overrun with tomatoes!

    i just bought the cupcake decorating set from bakeitpretty.com and was amazed at how it immediately transformed my cupcake decorating skills! my daughter thought i had purchased the cupcakes from a local bakery and was so impressed to learn i had done it myself…

    I always see you post versions of recipes from baking illustrated or cooks illustrated on here that look DELICIOUS so I think I may have to invest in those books :)

    My favorite new cookbooks are Cristina Marsigliese’s Scientifically Sweet, Flo Braker’s Sweet Miniatures and (another) Mario Batali one.

    Favorite new kitchen toys are my KitchenAid pasta roller attachment and my thermocouple thermometer/alarm.

    That’s a lot of ice cream in there! I’m part of the trend though, I just got two pop molds that make 7 pops each. It’s winter here but they were so cute and cheap :P

    I live The Perfect Scoop, too! Plus, David Leibovitz is fun to follow On twitter. I also love Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream cookbook. Her recipes turn out fantastic every time with unique flavors.

    I bought 3 cookbooks at a used book store on Monday – Turkish Cooking, The ’21″ Club Cookbook by Michael Lomanaco and a book by Melissa Clark on quick cooking. The latest kitchen gadget is my Ninja Pulse Kitchen System and boy is it wonderful. I don’t normally buy Made For Tv things but I saw this on QVC and trust their quality assurance so I bought it. It is wonderful. Everything works well. It came with all kinds of blades, mixing things, cannisters, food processor parts and it does so many things.
