Cooking with Books

I have a handful of go-to cookbooks. I pull one off the shelf every Monday, give it a browse, and aim to try one new recipe or to cook with one new ingredient that week.

I have found that cooking, can be similar to endurance sports: it can push you outside your comfort zone to try new things. Oh, and you can’t be afraid to fail.

Looking for inspiration? Here is a list of some of my favorite books. Check back as I am continually adding to the list:

• Dining In - Alison Roman

• The Endurance Training Diet & Cookbook - Jesse Kropelnicki

• Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow. - Shalane Flanagan

• Run Fast. Eat Slow. - Shalane Flanagan

• Six Seasons - Joshua McFadden

• The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook - Deb Perelman
