Recipe for Cream of Corn Soup from Soupology by Drew Smith

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This beautiful cookbook bases the recipes on six basic broths and goes on from there. Then you add veggies, spices, and all sorts of ingredients. Try the carrot, rice and potato soup, chicken tom yum, beef, shrimp or miso broth, minestrone, and onion soup. Here’s a lovely recipe using the last of this season’s corn from your farmers’ market. It's lovely and delicious.

Recipe for Smoked Whitefish Toast with Radish Butter

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

Today’s recipe is for a clever way to serve Zabar’s favorite whitefish. I am planning to have fun cooking with this lovely book. Next up: Moroccan challah, stuffed with tuna, and an Israeli baked falafel that might inspire me to go into the kitchen on this hot, hot day. And maybe homemade fish sticks and some apple blueberry turnovers for the little one.
