Time for a New Category!

Published on by RJLeave a comment

After some thinking, I’ve decided to expand the blog a bit.

This blog will always be about Ina and cooking my way through her cookbooks and recipes, but I’ve decided that there may be a time when I want to share something more personal.

So, I’ve added a new category!

It’s called “Life” and it’s where all the posts pertaining to my life will go. Now, this doesn’t mean “lifestyle.” So, no lame, overused photos of PSLs and winter fires during a snow storm. But it will be the more personal posts, not necessarily Ina related.

Cheers!

This Week’s Cooking

Published on by RJLeave a comment

Hello Readers!

I have been busy reading my way through Ina’s newest book, Modern Comfort Food, and I’ve decided that the recipes I make this week will come from that book. I am making dinner for the family tonight and may even squeeze in a dessert recipe over the weekend.

Look out for some recipe reviews coming at you later this weekend!

I can’t wait to try out the new cookbook. It really is beautiful and modern, in more ways than one!

A Little Disappointed…

Sadly, even though I pre-ordered Ina’s new cookbook, which comes out TODAY (!!!), it will not be delivered until tomorrow. So….tomorrow’s post will contain my excitement and first-look review.

I’ve had this happen before with Amazon pre-orders….even though they SAY it’ll come on release date, it hasn’t lately. Oh well, life goes on. #firstworldproblems

Hey! I Changed Up the Site!

So I know this blog has only been around for a little over a week, but I wasn’t LOVING the old layout. I think this new theme really speaks to what I see this blog as — a collection of my thoughts and a record for this project. I also chose fonts that I really like and feel are easy to read.

I hope you like it too. If you follow me through WordPress, check out the main site and let me know what you think of it.

Ina & Raspberries

Published on by RJLeave a comment

In order to help me keep track of recipes and so that I can get a sense of what I would need to purchase equipment-wise, I have begun the process of making a list of off the recipes by book. One of the things that I have noticed, even after only completing three of her cookbooks, is that Ina must LOVE raspberries!

It seems like there are at least 10 different recipes calling for them among these three books. There may even be more than 10, I didn’t really count. I just noticed the word “raspberry” kept popping up in the titles.

I guess those recipes will have to wait till summer to be made.
