Specific Ingredients

The Fishwife Cookbook by Becca Millstein

If you’ve been to a specialty grocery store in the last few years, you’ve surely seen these charming tins glittering from the canned foods aisle. Founded in 2020, Fishwife sought to glamorize the pantry staples of tuna and sardines. Now, they’re sharing how to take these versatile, shelf-stable products to the next level with indulgent, European (with a few Asian) inspired, veggie-packed recipes. Simple, delectable snacks and dips, self-care inspired meals for one, and extravagant summery salads populate this whimsical book, peppered with adorable maximalist illustrations and mouthwatering photos! So many pastas I’m dying to try!
