Nourish Me Home
"Renowned chef and tastemaker Cortney Burns left the streets of San Francisco for the rural mountains and gnarled history of New England. She learned the ways and flavors of her new home through its people, gardens, forests, and dramatic seasons, and translated all of it into her famous cooking. In this groundbreaking new project, she tells the story of her personal journey and how any cook can work their spirituality and sense of place into what they create. This is elemental home cooking, with 125 recipes for those looking to build their repertoire of nourishing, delicious foods. Organized like no other cookbook, here each chapter focuses on a different element. Fire is all about roasting meats, vegetables shine in Earth, Water features soups and stews, the magic of baking is revealed in Air, and Aether offers imaginative, healthful takes on preserves. This collection comes in a sensually compelling, foil-stamped package, with 100 vibrant photographs and 50 hand-drawn illustrations of beautiful feathers, flowers, and medicinal plants"-- "Nourish Me Home features 110 recipes in 6 chapters that pay homage to the seasons and the elements of water, fire, air, and ether. The curious, creative, fearless Cortney Burns--formerly of Bar Tartine--is back with a personal cookbook project about nostalgia, immigration, and her own uniquely delicious recipes. Cortney Burns's cooking always includes layered flavors and textures, surprising ingredients, and healthful twists, and her recipes range from weeknight turn-tos such as salads, soups, and vegetable-forward mains to the homemade liqueurs and ferments she's famous for. Teaches readers how to convert their own experiences and sense of place into kitchen inspiration and development of a personal cooking style. Recipes cover mains to drinks and desserts to condiments, such as sauces and pickled fruits. Complete with hand-drawn illustrations and 100 vibrant photographs. As in Bar Tartine, the pantry of preserved foods forms the backbone of this cookbook, adding all the physical and mental health benefits of fermented foods and streamlining cooking.

A groundbreaking project that connects seasonal cooking to raising one's personal vibration. Perfect for home cooks, those dedicated to mindfulness, fans of Cortney Burns and Bar Tartine, foodies, professional chefs, and restaurateurs. Add it to your collection of books like Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking by Samin Nosrat, Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden, and Dining In by Alison Roman"-- When Burns left the streets of San Francisco for the rural mountains and gnarled history of New England, she learned the ways and flavors of her new home through its people, gardens, forests, and dramatic seasons.
