Book Review: Recipes by Peter Elborn

Cookbook Fangirling: Recipes by Peter Elborn




That intelligent piece of book design that you find in office! Lunch breaks are meant for exploring the office library and when you are hungry it's best to look at cookbooks!
Peter Elborn's Recipes, is a collection of dishes that he has loved and tasted on travels around the world, cuisines that he loves to cook himself and feed his friends.




This book is an example of how book design is ever evolving craft in its own right, to design it as a MacBook with the infamous Apple logo is brilliant. The photographs inside the book don't necessarily replicate the final form of the recipes but echo more of the common ingredients used to make the dishes. From Jamaican to Bangladesh, cuisines from around the world are united by ingredients here.
Sadly, I will just drool at the book, as I am a terrible cook. I will never dare to try the recipes in it. I will just look and sigh at this lovely book.


And it is a self-published book, designed by the author on his MacBook. So people who are writers on my friend list, if you want to self-publish, you better up your game.

Momas'Day

As the month of May creepily entered my calendar,, I realized something was special... Well the Mothers Day entered my to-do-list...  I thought I was the only dearest daughter in the world who cared for her mother... But again my illusion was broken, by good major mates... Both of my major mates were also anxious about this one day...  First we got confused when the actual day was, some one said 1st may, other  8th may... But after all whats my dear Google for?? We found the date It was 13th May,, the second Sunday of may...

Hence the discussion broke out, one mate said she had already gifted her mother a Saree worth three thousand bucks... Now we all got dumbstruck by the selfless act and realized how shameless we were only gifting o...
