Mailbox Monday ~ September 5th
Mailbox Monday was created by The Printed Page. It is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their home last week.
Mailbox Monday is currently on tour, hosted by a different blog each month. The September host is Amused By Books.
Here’s what I received last week:
For review from the publisher through Amazon Vine:
Essential Pépin: More Than 700 All-Time Favorites from My Life in Food
by Jacques Pépin
In his more than sixty years as a chef, Jacques Pépin has earned a reputation as a champion of simplicity. His recipes are classics. They find the shortest, surest route to flavor, avoiding complicated techniques. Essential Pepin spans the many styles of Jacques’s cooking: homey country French, haute cuisine, fast food Jacques-style, and fresh contemporary American dishes. Many of the recipes are globally inspired, from Mexico, across Europe, or the Far East.
A win from The Back of the Book Competition at Leeswammes’ Blog:
A Long, Long Time Ago and Essentially True
by Brigid Pasulka
On the eve of World War II, in a place called Half-Village, a young man nicknamed the Pigeon falls in love with a girl fabled for her angelic looks. To court Anielica Hetmanská he offers up his “golden hands” to transform her family’s modest hut into a beautiful home, thereby building his way into her heart. Then war arrives to cut short their courtship, delay their marriage, and wreak havoc in all their lives, even sending the young lovers far from home to the promise of a new life in Kraków.

Yay for Jacques Pépin! My boyfriend and I watch “At Home with Jacques and Julia” (or something to that effect?) almost nightly. “Fast Food My Way” is another favorite. I’m sure the cookbook will be filled with awesome recipes!
