About the Author

Canal House is more than just Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton's studio—it's their workshop, dining room, office, kitchen, lair, lab, and atelier devoted to good ideas and good work relating to the world of food. The duo writes, photographs, designs, and paints, but in their hearts, they both think of themselves as cooks first.

And every day they cook. In the middle of the day they stop their work, set the table simply with paper napkins, and have lunch. So it came naturally to write down what they cooked, thus bringing about the Canal House Cooking series.

This cookbook is a seasonal collection of Christopher and Melissa's favorite recipes—home cooking by home cooks for home cooks. With a few exceptions, they use ingredients that are readily available and found in most markets in most towns throughout the United States. All the recipes are easy to prepare, all completely doable for the novice and experienced cook alike. These two women believe the everyday practice of simple cooking and the enjoyment of eating are two of the greatest pleasures in life.

Editorial Reviews

These diminutive volumes were first published in 2009 at the rate of three seasonal volumes per year by the team of Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer, both of whom have strong culinary CVs and stints at Saveur. Each of these volumes, which come in at just more than 100 pages, is a beautifully crafted scrapbook of recipes with drawings and photographs. They are personal, charming, and a breath of fresh air in the overwrought world of "big" cookbooks. It's nice to have something small and digestible for a change. The cooking, as well as the covers, is simple, and it is thrilling that a culinary duo manages to self-publish cookbooks that deserve a place at the table. Salut!
