OBrady - Seven spoons: my favorite recipes for any and every day

Some of the recipes in this book include raw eggs. When eggs are consumed raw, there is always the risk that bacteria, which is killed by proper cooking, may be present. For this reason, always buy certified salmonella-free eggs from a reliable grocer, storing them in the refrigerator until they are served. Because of the health risks associated with the consumption of bacteria that can be present in raw eggs, they should not be consumed by infants, small children, pregnant women, the elderly, or any persons who may be immunocompromised. The author and publisher expressly disclaim responsibility for any adverse effects that may result from the use or application of the recipes and information contained in this book.

Roasted Carrots with Harissa Aoli and Dukkah. Plum Macaroon Cake. Chaat Tostadas. Roasted Peaches with Glazed Sesame Oats. Few food writers have such an insightful, intuitive understanding of flavoror a more eclectic and inspiring range of culinary influences at work in their kitchenthan Tara OBrady. Fewer still write with her trademark warmth and thoughtful prose, which Saveur describes as like pulling up a seat at the table of an old friend.

Seven Spoons is OBradys remarkable and much-anticipated debut. In it, she shares more than one hundred of her best and most mouthwatering recipescrowd-pleasing breakfasts like Blackberry Buttermilk Whole Grain Scones, weeknight staples like Everyday Yellow Dal, and terrifically inventive desserts like Roasted Grapes with Sweet Labneh. These elegant, flavorful, and wonderfully creative recipes, plus the show stopping photography, will have you heading straight for the kitchen to get cooking.

Tara OBrady is a ship captains daughter of Indian descent living in Ontario, Canada. All of which informs her perspective in this beautiful and substantial debut cookbook. She navigates seamlessly across culinary boundaries to share her stories, recipes, and traditionsthe sort, I suspect, that will be welcomed into many, many kitchens.

This book, just like Taras blog, shares recipes and stories that are filled with texture, warmth, and her Indian heritage. Taras cooking is thoughtful, clean, and full of aroma and flavor. Her recipe for Baked Eggs, North IndianStyle, served with an extraordinary topping of Fresh Green Chutney, has become a staple for my familyand it will for yours, too.

ARAN GOYOAGA , author of Small Plates and Sweet Treats

Seven Spoons is so gorgeous and beautifully photographed that I just want to jump right into the pages. I cant wait to savor these amazing dishes, all with a global bent, starting with breakfast biscuits and spicy, fried Mexican Huevos a la Plaza de Mercado; then moving on to soups and salads with flavors culled from the Middle East and East Asia; then ending with lush, compelling desserts.

DAVID LEBOVITZ , author of My Paris Kitchen

Taras warmth and love of cooking comes through on every page. She will inspire new cooks to enter the kitchen, and energize those of us who have been cooking for years.
