Staff Picks: Bobby Long at World Cafe Live and Hope Cohen's “Fast Fresh + Simple”

PLUS: Gregory M. McCauley’s TAXJAMS: Simple Solutions – A Self-Help Guide to IRS Issues.

Bobby Long

April 17 at World Cafe Live

Hollywood hunk Robert Pattinson’s close chum has been making a name for himself in the music business the right way—by touring worldwide and winning over fans one venue at a time. A booming, bluesy baritone may be Long’s most prominent feature, but his songwriting has also taken a major leap on his stunningly accomplished new release, Wishbone. A largely acoustic anomaly no more (his first album was recorded in his London bedroom), the affable Long brings the electric guitars on his latest CD, while upping the production values. The result is an album that rocks gut-punch hard, yet doesn’t lack for sweetness and grace. Visit worldcafelive.com. —Hobart Rowland

Fast Fresh + Simple

By Hope Cohen
Strawberryblonde Press, 199 pages

Cohen’s recently released Fast Fresh + Simple is the first cookbook that’s inspired me to make something new in quite awhile. The Bryn Mawr chef, restaurant consultant, media personality and self-described “lover of all things food and wine” knows her way around a kitchen. From refreshing cocktails to perfect-ending desserts, she can do it all, and her recipes benefit from entertaining backstories, useful tips and mouthwatering images. —Tara Behan
