Canal House Cooking Volume N° 6: The Grocery Store

by Christopher Hirsheimer, Melissa Hamilton

Overview

Easy-to-source recipes from the home cooks of Canal House, which “has garnered quite the following among the farm-to-table set with an eye for beauty” (Food52).

CANAL HOUSE COOKING, VOLUME N° 6, THE GROCERY STORE is a collection of our favorite recipes, the ones we cook for ourselves, our friends, and our families, using the best that grocery stores have to offer. It is filled with recipes that will make you want to run straight to the grocery store to stock up and start cooking.

We are home cooks writing about home cooking for other home cooks. Our recipes are easy to prepare and completely doable for the novice and experienced cook alike. Good cooking relies on good shopping, so we buy smoked fish to make a delicious creamy stew, and plump organic chickens to roast right on the oven rack over potatoes and vegetables. Bunches of fat local asparagus go into our shopping cart—we cook them simply and bathe them in a luscious lemon-butter sauce. We choose hearty escarole and tender young spinach and stock up on bags of frozen peas and fava beans to use in so many ways. We buy succulent rhubarb for an early spring tonic or for an Easter dessert, roasted and spooned over crisp meringues.

Canal House Cooking, Volume N° 6, The Grocery Store, is the sixth book of our award-winning series of seasonal recipes. We publish three volumes per year: Summer, Fall & Holiday, and Winter & Spring, each filled with delicious recipes for you from us. Cook all year long with Canal House Cooking!

Editorial Reviews

These diminutive volumes were first published in 2009 at the rate of three seasonal volumes per year by the team of Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer, both of whom have strong culinary CVs and stints at Saveur. Each of these volumes, which come in at just more than 100 pages, is a beautifully crafted scrapbook of recipes with drawings and photographs. They are personal, charming, and a breath of fresh air in the overwrought world of "big" cookbooks. It's nice to have something small and digestible for a change. The cooking, as well as the covers, is simple, and it is thrilling that a culinary duo manages to self-publish cookbooks that deserve a place at the table. Salut!
