Typically when I cook I either make things up as I go or I find recipes on the internet, but that doesn't stop me from collecting cookbooks. I love to flip through them over and over again. My latest love is Calgary Cooks, a book compiled of recipes from some of Calgary's best restaurants- Anju, Anejo, Candela, Model Milk, Cucina and dozens more. All of the recipes look beautiful, but I really admire that, for the most part, they're simple enough for the home cook.
You can find them at Our Daily Brett, Red Tree Catering, Cookbook Co. and Chapters.
It did get me to thinking about which dishes from my favorite spots that I would've picked. Here's my list:
Ox and Angela- either the Paella or those Patatas Bravas
Double Zero's Roasted Cauliflower
Anju's Chicken Wings
Shikiji's Chili Goma Ramen
Taste's French Onion Soup
ooooohhh! i too am a total cookbook junkie! this one looks incredible! might have to add it to the christmas list! thanks for sharing~ (and patatas bravas and roasted cauliflower…. mmmmmmm- my stomach is so badly missing calgary right now!)
