Trinigourmet’s Amazon Hotlist for July 2010
It’s the start of another month, and with that comes the posting of my monthly roundup of those items that you all have been clicking (and purchasing) this month. Ramin Ganeshram’s ode to local cuisine “Sweet Hands” took a bit of a hit this month, falling out of the top spot. This may partly be due to it going (temporarily) out of print. However, I am happy to say that it is now in a new run and super-affordable once again 🙂
At #1 this time around is Dorie Greenspan’s “Baking”. I love this cookbook, a lot. Dotted with personal anecdotes and glorious full-page photographs, it also gives you a very sound understanding of baking and pastry techniques, and simplifies the process for even the novice through extremely detailed instructions.
Now on to the countdown!
