Sunday suppers

 

I admit, I was totally seduced by the linen fabric cover but now I'm hooked.  The tradition of a big lovely Sunday meal is a wonderful one with deep traditions in lots of cultures.  I love Sunday Suppers (and brunch too)!

Matt Wilkinson Cookbook

We've been  carrying a lot more cookbooks at the store and this one, which I have yet to give a whirl in the kitchen, seems like just about everyone in Eugene could use right about now. Everyone I know , including the mayor, is engaging in one manner of food preservation or another.  In other words, our gardens runneth over.

What's on Your Summer Table

Kale chips, mango salsa, prosciutto and melon, edamame humus, need I say more.  Cookbooks have been such a fun addition to the store and this Forest Feast is one of my favorites.

A Fall Food Palette

 I have always loved the warm, woodsy, nutty brown colors of the fall landscape paired with a soft, soothing, creamy white.  Always!!!  And now it appears to be right on trend which makes us happy because it means there's lots of fun product out there: like the extremely versatile creamy burlap runner and the plaid napkins seen above.  My manufacturer calls it their Belgian inspired offerings.  Ha!  We call it Little House on the Prairie.

 And oh happy days, here comes Chronicle Books cookbook cover that's right in the same colorway!  We are super excited to dive into this cookbook.  Homemade butters, Irish Stew and soda bread all sound pretty perfect right about now. With great photos and fun  illustrations, this cookbook makes you want to cook.  And isn't that what a good cookbook ought to do?

 

So here I go, and just for entertainment purposes,  I think I'll cook food that's all in my nutty brown and creamy color palette too!!!
