Duguid & Alford Cookbooks

Two of the finest cookbooks ever written by Canadians. As much travelogues as recipe sources, the books reflect the authors' deep immersion and respect for the cultures whose food they explore. - Seductions of Rice ($10 softcover, $15 hardcover) Almost like a global survey of how to prepare rice, this is an exhaustive and rigorous exploration of the boundless possibilities for rice beyond the usual white and steamed. - Hot Sour Salty Sweet: A Culinary Journey Through Southeast Asia ($15 hardcover only) To quote Kenji Lopez-Alt, "Rather than focusing on the cuisine of a specific country, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid trace the connections between flavors and cultures along the Mekong river." Another incredible deep dive in to the foods of the region as well as the cultural forces that helped shape them. Available for pickup near Oakwood and Vaughan. If you'd like to make me an offer, please note that I find going back-and-forth to be exhausting, so I don't do it. Blame it on all the lowballers out there. Shoot your shot. If I like it, I'll respond. If I don't, you probably won't hear back from me.
