Sip & Feast: Family Recipes

I bought this as a gift for my Mom's birthday (in December) and though it was significantly delayed, we both agree it was more than worth the wait. I hope the delays mean that the book is doing super well, Jim and Tara deserve all the success in the world. I'm a Long Islander and first stumbled upon Sip and Feast on YT a few years ago (back in their old kitchen times). Their recipes on both YT and Patreon are super straightforward, they are laid out incredibly well for beginners like myself but will impress the tastebuds and all of the other senses of the talented home cooks like my Mom. The book is beautiful! It looks and feels like a display book but the pages are filled with incredible recipes and stories to go with them. It's very clear that a ton of time, passion and love went into this book the second you open it. The pictures are beautiful and the paper is perfect for taking notes in the margins. Every Sip and Feast recipe we've ever made has been incredibly delicious and we're so excited to make more. First up: short rib papperdelle. Thank you Jim and Tara for this gem. You have some very happy "neighbors".

I just received the Sip and Feast cookbook today, and wow — it’s gorgeous. The layout, the photos, the whole presentation feels high-quality and thoughtfully done. More importantly, it’s packed with every recipe you could possibly want, from weeknight staples to the classics you actually want to cook. My favorite feature? The QR codes. They take you straight to the website for extra details, videos, and tips — super convenient and really well executed. Beautiful book, great recipes, and smart design. Highly recommend.

What a GEM! 5 stars simply isn't enough. We've been following James for a few years - he's got such great recipes. This book has fantastic authentic Italian dishes, great foods from his experience working in deli's, tips and suggestions, and easy to follow instructions for every dish. I absolutely love the back stories that he's got throughout the book and the pictures to match the recipes are a bonus if you've never made the dish. (And just looking at the pictures will make you hungry!) There is so much hard work and love that went into this cookbook and I cannot wait for the next one! We've made no less than a dozen recipes and look forward to making more. I was so impressed with the book that I ordered 2 more as gifts to my children, and if you haven't gotten your own copy I cannot recommend this highly enough!

The best of Jim Delmage and Tara Boerum's recipes. They are all great Italian-American dishes. Jim does not require impossible-to-find imported ingredients and his instructions are clear and easy to follow. The book is beautifully illustrated too. Worth the wait to get my copy.

This is a great cookbook! I highly recommend buying! I’ve always loved to watch James and Taras’ videos but love having a cookbook! The book is beautiful to look at, recipes are easy to follow and there are a lot of tips included. They also include menu recommendations which I love because I can never decide what to make when having company. I consider myself a decent cook but I’ve learned to follow their recipes and it has improved my cooking. My husband has also been reading it and he has never picked up a cookbook in his life!
