Cookbook Club News – I Can’t Believe We’re talking About Our June Cookbook!

01/05/2022 by Amanda

Jump into May with Italian comfort food and, in the latest cookbook news, June puts native Aussie flavours on our plates!

Marcella Hazan, May in the cookbook club

A new month = a new cookbook for the Lambs Ears Cookbook Club. Our exploration of Sally Wise’s The Comfort Bake in April was fun – head to our Facebook page to admire some very drool-worthy photos. We can still share more of Sally’s delicious comfort food bakes on Throwback Thursdays, but for now it’s time to move on.

In May the cookbook club news is that we have the choice of two wonderful cookbooks for you to cook from. Marcella Hazan introduced traditional Italian cooking techniques to English speakers in the US and UK, and her book The Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking will give you plenty to explore and get excited about.

If you would like to know a little more about Marcella here’s a great little piece in the New Yorker magazine, How Marcella Hazan Became a Legend of Italian Cooking.

Our second book, Jamie Oliver’s Jamie’s Italy will appeal for it’s authentic flavours and fresh approach to Italian food – I’m sure you will enjoy either or both books.

Unbelievably (as in – where did the year go?) it’s time to share the June selection and the cookbook club news for this month is that we are going seriously local.

Since this group was the first Australian-based online cookbook club, I think it’s about time we actively explored some of the truly authentic native flavours of our home. With that in mind, my selection for the June cookbook club is Nornie Bero’s Mabu Mabu  (Hardie Grant $45 RRP).

new cookbooks for 2022

I mentioned Nornie’s book in my most recent cookbook roundup   and I hope you’re all as keen to expand your Australian kitchen as I am. Her native pantry, with it’s simple and accessible flavours, unlocks the secrets of Australian herbs, spices, vegetables and fruits. The book includes a comprehensive glossary of native ingredients, many of which are now available in supermarkets, and a very handy list of stockists for those who prefer to let their fingers do the (online) shopping.

I’m excited to investigate more thoroughly our own flavours, and I hope you are too. Take the next few weeks to get a copy of the book and hunt down some of the ingredients – we kick off with Mabu Mabu in June.
