The Lists

With so many “best of” lists coming out not only for the year but the decade, it’s good to have a focus.  Looking at the best of cookbook lists that are coming out, I realize that the year has gone by in blink and I have a lot of reading to do.  From what I’ve seen so far, I’m happy that Francis Mallmann’s Seven Fires is popping up, hope to see Michelle Bernstein’s Cuisine á Latina included on more, and need to make jasmine rice pudding from The Craft of Baking, by Karen DeMasco and Mindy Fox, immediately.
