5 Cookbooks We're Loving During Quarantine

If there’s one place that people have been spending a lot more time during social distancing, it’s the kitchen. From sourdough starters on Instagram Stories to whipped coffee tutorials on TikTok, right now, we’re all culinary influencers (or at least we can pretend we are).

Hey everyone, Kate and Courtney here. Today we’re writing about our go-to cookbooks during quarantine. We’ve both spent a lot of time trying and sharing new recipes, and we’re excited to introduce you to some of our favorite chefs and cookbook authors behind the flavors.

Thai Coconut Curry Meatballs (Gluten Free, Paleo)

Chances are that most of you guys, like me, find yourselves spending a lot more time in the kitchen than you typically do these days. Kate here, and today I’m excited to share one of my favorite recipes I’ve been making over and over again this month.

These Thai coconut curry meatballs are absolutely delicious and perfect for a cozy night in. They’re gluten free and paleo, and also Whole 30 approved if that’s your jam.

We’re not necessarily any of those things in our house but it’s so refreshing to find a flavorful, rich tasting recipe that’s also healthy and not too heavy. This one checks all the boxes!

Easy Rotisserie Chicken Thai Coconut Curry (Whole30 & Paleo!)

nothing will teach you how to improvise quite like a Parisian kitchen - at least that’s been my experience living here for six months. our apartment has a teeny tiny little (though very cute!) kitchen, and it’s nearly impossible for both me and my husband to be in there at the same time. since the “oven” in our place is pretty much a countertop convection thing that is incredibly janky, i’ve been trying my hand at as many simple stovetop recipes as possible, and this one is my new favorite.

Something To Guac About: The All-Time Best Guacamole Recipe
