Sally Schneider's "A New Way to Cook" was another supreme disappointment. I just couldn't wrap myself around that one.
Put mine in the recycle bin. Didn't even bother to bring it to the used book store....

Buy, buy, buy (or check out from the library!) No internet source is going to give you the depth of Clifford Wright on Mediterranean food & history, the beauty captured by Alford & Duguid, or the sheer pleasure of reading Laurie Colwin's "Home Cooking" over again. Good cookbooks are always about more than recipes...
Well said!

I, too, am a "clipper"...some I post on the fridge with a magnet...they sometimes yellow and curl and then go to the recycle bin, but many others I do try out. Because most of them are seasonal, the ingredients are often on hand and that's what makes me try a recipe.

My thoughts too. It is a sad event in the cooking world that the Gourmet mag is being shut down at a time when "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" is on the top of the charts. To me, both go hand in hand.

Excellent blog!!!
Thank you, thank you Kathleen!!! -
Oh Kathleen!!! The shops...the cheeses....oh!!!! Easy to understand why you decided to stay...and congratulations on being brave enough to follow your heart! I have always enjoyed your blogs but this one is really cool....

Fellow customers who stand waaaay too close to me while I'm being checked out. Back off bub, it's *my* turn.
Exactly!!! I then politely look at them and ask if they want to pay for my order. It usually works...they back off.

Oh, this sounds so exciting!! I've added your reno blog to my favorites! Looking forward to peeking in regularly!

[Everything that you see was done by us with the exception of the countertops which we sub contracted out. We are glad we did because the large prep space piece weighed almost 550 pounds and was just about the limit of the size the could install in one piece.
The kitchen is kickass funky! Now, confess...what kind of background do you have (or good genes???) that you could whip up a kitchen of this caliber...

Oh Wow!! The scenery, the food!!!!!! I see pavement and buildings from most restaurants here!

I'm thinking there's a business to be made from dealing with all the Canadian Geese here in Jersey.
Too funny! Would that make it a cana-goose shwarma?

Oh Swisskaese,
Am so happy you're blogging! I just LOVE this armchair traveling....last week in Moscow and this week with you! I'm all eyes! (and yes, I'm already drooling!)

Yééé! Someone from Canada!

It's yours! I'll mail it Monday!!!

Hum, this was an eye opener...about 35% for me... I just culled a bunch (however, I've also just bought a few more...
) Time has come to use more of those books!!
