New Yorkers know Prune cook Gabrielle Hamilton but I grew up in rural Jerz worshiping at the alter of Canal House Cooking, her sister Melissa Hamilton’s joint. Without a doubt my favorite cookbooks. All of them.

I have them all and will never part from them, even when I am an old lady and the only cooking I do is toast and boiled eggs.

“Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton began these serialized cookbooks in the early aughts as a way to capture their magical cooking style from The Canal House restaurant in Milford, NJ — ingredient forward, with a bit of high-payoff technique. I turn to these for inspiration and I actually cook from them frequently. Like many books from this time period, they are organized loosely by season”

“These are some of my absolute favorite cook books. I love reading them and have even attempted a few!”
