Synopsis

Canal House Cooking is a collection of our favorite summer recipes-home cooking by home cooks for home cooks. The recipes in this book are what we make for ourselves all summer long. We are crazy for melons in late summer, we love to cook big paellas outdoors over a fire for a crowd of friends, we make jarfuls of teriyaki sauce for slathering on chickens and tubs of ice cream for our families. All 70 recipes are easy to prepare, and completely doable for the novice and experienced cook alike. There are over 60 beautiful photos and illustrations. We want to share with you our love of food and all its rituals. The everyday practice of cooking and enjoyment of eating are two of the greatest pleasures of life-Christopher Hirsheimer & Melissa Hamilton

About this title

From the Author:

Canal House is more than just Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton's studio--it's their workshop, dining room, office, kitchen, lair, lab, and atelier devoted to good ideas and good work relating to the world of food. The duo writes, photographs, designs, and paints, but in their hearts, they both think of themselves as cooks first.

And every day they cook. In the middle of the day they stop their work, set the table simply with paper napkins, and have lunch. So it came naturally to write down what they cooked, thus bringing about the Canal House Cooking series.

This cookbook is a seasonal collection of Christopher and Melissa's favorite recipes--home cooking by home cooks for home cooks. With a few exceptions, they use ingredients that are readily available and found in most markets in most towns throughout the United States. All the recipes are easy to prepare, all completely doable for the novice and experienced cook alike. These two women believe the everyday practice of simple cooking and the enjoyment of eating are two of the greatest pleasures in life.
