I know I’ve been a bit lax with blog posting these past couple months. Pregnancy with an unplanned fourth boy has a crazy way of doing that to you. Despite all the excuses, I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to share the accomplishments of a very special friend. My friend Faith Gorsky from An Edible Mosaic just had her first cookbook released: An Edible Mosaic: Middle Eastern Fare with Extraordinary Flair. I’ve pretty much known Faith since I first began blogging. We’ve supported each other, shared opportunities and just generally lifted each other up throughout the process that is food writing. I can’t tell you how proud I am to help her introduce and promote her first published work.

is a well written, beautifully photographed cookbook that caught my eye from the moment I pulled it out of the packaging. The authors, Tero Kallio and Kimmo Saira, have broken the book out by season beginning with Spring and ending with Winter. The recipes range from simple to complex and many of the ingredients are quite unique. With chef driven instruction for everything from rheindeer carpaccio, to soup of moose and oven-baked cheese, to Vorschmack with potato salad and beetroot crisps, to rabbit sausages with Jerusalem artichokes, I’ll admit that I was drawn in and ready to cook almost immediately.
