Spqr: Modern Italian Food and Wine [A Cookbook]
Shelley Lindgren
Big applause to @patricknathan for leading the charge, fearlessly tackling two recipes from Kate Leahy et. al’s intimidating SPQR: Modern Italian Food and Wine; lightweight me used the totally brilliant and accessible Milk Street Tuesday Nights to do pasta alla gricia (test shot) https://t.co/OVxgkOR6gZ

For Today I Am a Boy
Kim Fu
Over the moon to have Kim Fu’s new story collection, LESSER KNOWN MONSTERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY, in my TBR pile. Fu’s debut, FOR TODAY I AM A BOY, remains a favorite for its portrayal of a trans Chinese character and how she was forced to live a double life in small-town Ontario https://t.co/CDAjsQcSGr

Eleven Madison Park: The Next Chapter, Revised and Unlimited Edition: [A Cookbook]

Art Is Life: Icons and Iconoclasts, Visionaries and Vigilantes, and Flashes of Hope in the Night
Jerry Saltz
My latest audiobook: Jerry Saltz’s Art Is Life, a chronological collection of 20 years’ worth of essays/reviews of anyone who’s made a ripple or wave in art since the late 1990s to today. It’s wonderful to have a book that fills in the cracks of my years in NYC as an art-goer https://t.co/K4aTYR7vxR
