Hey Everyone! I'm kinda new to all this, so excuse any violation of mores.
Searching google for anything on Mr. Steingarten on the web led me to
this forum. It appears te me that most of you are food professionals or
nearly that, while i'm just a 21-yr old student who likes to cook.
I own both Jeffries books, and i've started putting together a list of
all the books he sort of recommends in his writing. Thus came an idea
for this forum, wouldn't it be fun to concoct a list of say 50
cookbooks from the world over? I everybody, and hopefully mr
Steingarten along with them, would contribute his or hers favourote
books, this could be very interesting.
Due to my limited library on the subject (most cookbooks i've read are
mom's) i shall begin by contributing my current favourite.
I shall put it in last place, because i'm sure a lot of you will have
thing to say on the subject.
so:
50. La cucina essentiale - Stefano Cavallini
I hope a lot of suggestions will follow!
Yours Truly,
Rik
