I moved my multiple cookbook #bookstacks onto a bookcase in the hallway to get them out of the way while I work on cleaning and organizing my very cramped and cluttered content creator office and video studio. It was fun and felt good to arrange them sort of by color. Today was a reminder how very heavy stacks of cookbooks are! This is your behind the scenes look at the life of a busy content creator! Which cookbook would you pull off the shelf first to explore? -Carrie

    Here is a slightly longer cookbook preview than we Here is a slightly longer cookbook preview than we normally post, because this #newcookbook is so fabulous and important. “Hemingway’s Spanish Table: A Culinary Journey in 60+ Recipes” by Howie Southworth @howiesouthworth (@weldonowen March 2026) The book takes us on a culinary journey tied to Hemingway’s novels. Besides the menu (sorted into Snacks, Soups, Eggs, Rice, Meat, Fish & Seafood, etc) there are chapters with writings and photographs on Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and Pamplona. This is the kind of cookbook you read cover to cover, savoring, taking notes and contemplating. I anticipate this important literary attuned cookbook will be nominated for and win many book and cookbook awards this year and next. -Carrie #cookbookdivas #cookbooks #spanishcooking
