October's Very Best Foodie Finds

I'd be hard-pressed to find a cook who doesn't need a jolt of inspiration from time to time, all the better when it comes in the form of easy, weeknight-friendly recipes, like in Donna Hay's latest publication: The New Easy ($40), out Oct. 20. Like the Australian lifestyle magazine's catalogue of cookbooks (and the magazine itself), this book is full of fun recipes shot in the publication's signature, beautifully lit, virtually all-white color palette. It'd be easier to list off the recipes I'm not interested in trying. For starters, I can't wait to make goat cheese frittata with arugula gremolata, miso-roasted eggplant, sticky Korean pork with apple and cucumber pickles, and crispy cauliflower pasta.
