I am obsessed with all things cookbook these days.
We just wrapped up a few days shooting some beautiful photographs at our house for Claire Robinson's first cookbook due out this fall.
All I can say is that the recipes are delicious (not one of them has more than 5 ingredients) and she is really nice and genuine. Most importantly for me is that she is a real chef, the real deal, it's been refreshing in every way. Plus the commute could not be better.
Anyhoooo.... I was checking out her blog and came across this post about a unique shop in NYC that carries antique and vintage cookbooks. JoanneHendrickscookbooks.com Not only do I want to go there, I want to live there. That is the kind of dwelling I am thinking about when Jeff and I talk about retiring to NYC but I digress. Some women swoon over shoes, I go crazy for cookbooks. Especially the vintage ones, when they didn't have glossy photos but instead project the 'flavor' of the book with delightful illustrations. Hmmm.. maybe I can do some illustrations for Claire's book...that would be fun, all my favorite things wrapped in one.
