It’s time for another worth waiting for list! The wait for a few of these isn’t long at all, so new cookbooks are in our very near future. This list is a mix of authors I have bought from before, plus those I haven’t or this is their first cookbook.
I am exicted for each of these for different reasons, but overall I think they will not only be worth the wait, but will also add something special my cookbook collection.
Which upcoming releases are you most looking forward to? Let me know in the comments below.
Boustany by Sami Tamimi (June) - Ok I know I am cheating a bit here, as I usually commence the second half of this list with releases from July onwards, but I couldn’t leave this one out. I really enjoyed Sami’s last book Falastin, and I am really excited to see his first solo publication Boustany. Boustany will focus on vegetable and grain forward dishes, which pay homage to Palestinian cuisine and culture, and Sami’s upbringing.
Handfuls of Sunshine by Tilly Pamment (July) - I have utterly adored and genuinely baked a lot from Tilly’s first book, The Plain Cake Appreciation Society, so I am extremely excited to see what her second has in store for us. Handfuls of Sunshine will focus more on smaller and bite sized bakes, and by the looks of it, with Tilly’s trademark use of flavour and the gorgeous styling utilising fresh flowers we have come to know and love.
Modern Australian Baking by Christopher Thé (July) - There are a few other baking books in the upcoming releases for the second half of this year, but nothing is exciting me more than Tilly’s new book and the promise of a cookbook from Christopher Thé. Christopher, who began Black Star Pastry and created the Strawberry Watermelon Cake, hasn’t written a cookbook before, so it’s great to finally be able to use his recipes in our own kitchens. This book is arranged by season, and utilises many native Australian ingredients, which I’m thinking will set it apart from many other baking books in the market.
Chesnok by Polina Chesnakova (September) - I am having a really good time exploring more about Eastern European food this year, so I am keen to see Polina’s contribution with her upcoming book Chesnok. This book will cover recipes from Polina’s connection to the diaspora of Eastern Europe, as well as the Caucasus and Central Asia. Recipes from Polina’s childhood and family will be shared, as well as profiles of influential cooks in her life. I am really looking forward to this one.
