Featured magazine - Saveur
|
|
|
Several magazines in the EYB Library have most, if not all, recipes available online. This month's highlighted magazine is Saveur, which features recipes from talented contributors like Daniel Boulud, Michael Solomonov, and David Tanis, as well as from its own respected editorial team.
May's issue focuses on France, with delicious recipes like Spring vegetable stew (Estouffade printanière), Oeufs mayo with crab, Meringue floating in crème Anglaise (Île flottante), and Baked apple terrine with Calvados.

Each year, Saveur has a special issue called "The Saveur 100", which the editors describe as an "annual attempt to survey what's happening in the world of food and drink and boil it all down...to the best of the best of right now." You can browse all issues of Saveur in the EYB Library.
It's easy to add all issues of a magazine at one time - visit our support page to learn how. To add all 76 issues, use the date range January 1, 2008 to May 1, 2016, and then subscribe for future issues to be automatically added.

Sneak peeks inside three new cookbooks
|
|
|
|
Spain's most popular cookbook, 1080 Recipes, was originally published in 1972. Written by Spanish cooking authorities Simone Ortega and her daughter Inés Ortega, the book and its updates instructed an entire generation on how to make classic Spanish dishes. Now all of the recipes from 1080 Recipes, updated for today's cooks, plus recipes from its sister title The Book of Tapas, are available in one volume: Quick and Easy Spanish Recipes. You can get a sneak peek into the book with two recipe excerpts.

Lawyer-turned-cookery teacher Sumayya Usmani was born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, but now lives in the UK. Always passionate about her heritage cuisine, she has grown up cooking the food she knows as Pakistani with the women of her family, and this kindled her love for cooking from an early age. Sumayya read her Masters in Law and practiced as a solicitor for 15 years, while still writing recipes on her own website and regularly contributing to UK and international food publications. In addition, she teaches cookery classes at London's Divertimenti Cookery School. Sumayya has just published her first cookbook, Summers Under the Tamarind Tree. Read an excerpt from the book's introduction on the EYB blog.
