Books, Books and more Books!! What more do you need?

I know most men don’t read and this includes David but I’m Praying the novels will entice David to at least try. reading. If Charlie sees David trying to read the novels it will motivate Charlie to read as well.

If not then I have more books for me and my sister to read. Because each of these novels are books I wouldn’t mind reading or Gifting to people on my Gift giving list.

I chose Buns & Burgers because my favorite meal is Homemade Hamburgers or Cheeseburgers. I like having our Hamburgers fixed on the Grill. David grills the Burgers for us. David doesn’t Grill the bread which I like.

I’m praying when he receives Buns & Burgers David will try and grill the bread the next time, he fixes us Hamburgers. If David does, then I will invite my sister over for dinner because Burgers are also her favorite meal.

Buns & Burgers Published by Gregory Berger

Your #1 Guidebook to Buns and Burgers

Make masterful Burgers, from top to bottom: In this cookbook by Gregory Berger, he teaches readers not only how to create delicious Burgers, but also provides recipes for baking buns―the “holy grail of cooking from scratch.” From classic sesame to black charcoal hamburger buns, learn how to bake your way into creating an Instagram-worthy burger.

Easy to follow recipes: Berger understands that not everyone has the resources and skills of a professional chef. He himself is a work-at-home dad who got his start in the culinary world by picking up baking as a hobby, and now he’s gone on to create bread recipes for some of Sacramento’s top restaurants. Because of this, his cookbook intentionally emphasizes that all these crowd-pleasing burgers and buns can be made by anyone.

Tips and tricks for beginning and experienced cooks: We can’t devote endless hours to our meal creations, as much as some of us would like to. Cooking often calls for prioritization. Knowing that we’re making our buns from scratch, Berger shares with readers a few ideas for cutting corners in other areas―such as mixing Blood Mary spices into store-bought mayo for a delicious aioli sauce.

Discover in Buns and Burgers: Handcrafted Burgers from Top to Bottom:

  • Over 30 delicious and diverse bun recipes, complete with photos, each followed by the Burger creation.
  • Shortcuts along the way for those looking to save time
  • Mouth-watering Burger recipes like the cotija and green onion bun with a black bean and sweet potato burger, topped with roasted poblano mayo

Fans of cookbooks such as Flour Water Salt YeastThe Food Lab, and The Best Simple Recipes will enjoy Gregory Berger’s Buns & Burgers.
