Weekly Want: Big Girls Small Kitchen Cookbook!


It's finally here:

Ever since I stumbled upon Big Girls Small Kitchen about a year ago, I've been waiting for the release of their book, In the Small Kitchen: 100 Recipes from Our Year of Cooking in the Real World. Cara Eisenpress and Phoebe Lapine (the Big Girls) make college/apartment cooking look effortlessly chic, sophisticated and well put together (not to mention yummy!). As a college student getting ready to graduate and move out of my tiny apartment and into a slightly bigger big girl apartment, I love reading their blog to get ideas of how to prepare meals for my boyfriend and I, small dinner/cocktail parties or any other kind of themed occasions that I don't need a huge elaborate kitchen to cook in. Their recipes have helped me create the perfect Super Bowl Party appetizers (the guest thought it was a real touchdown!) and I've printed off my own collection of their recipes which are posted all over my fridge. But now in an easy-big-girl-small-kitchen-fashion their simple,delicious recipes are compiled into one amazing cookbook! Available on Amazon for about $15 these girls will have you eager to cook in your small kitchen and impress you and your guests with their delectable delights!

Weekly Want: Yellow Submarine Tea Infuser

Somewhere, in an octopus's garden in the shade, John Lennon is sipping tea, wishing he had this adorable tea infuser! This Yellow Submarine tea infuser from FredFlare is probably one of the cutest things since the Beatles had their mop-top haircuts in the '60's! You don't have to live in one to enjoy the iconic adorableness of this yellow submarine! Super affordable and definitely a must have for every Beatles fan/ tea enthusiast!

As we all know I love Sriracha, whether it's with cheese, on sandwiches, rice or to substitute an ingredient in a dish, Sriracha adds that unique spicy zest that's sure to make any meal delectably hot!
That being said, when I came across the Sriracha Cookbook while browsing new and unique cookbooks on Amazon, I knew it was a sure-fire thing to purchase!
Randy Clemens's Sriracha Cookbook boasts recipes for all cooking levels. You can make anything from Sriracha mayo (a personal favorite) to Sriracha Gazpacho (nommmmm) and Sriracha Carne Asada! This book is about $16 in stores, but can be found cheaper at Amazon here.
