Thank you so very kindly!! You saved my Holiday table!!

I meant Italian Cream Cake. Not cheese cake. It's a cake that has pecans, coconut..a frosting that is a buttercream with pecans in it.

I am looking for a tried and true very good Italian Cream Cake. It's for Christmas dinner and I swear, I have combed through my MANY cookbooks and I cannot find a recipe to save my life! I don't want to pull one off the web. The last few cakes I did that to it came up a mess, even with following the recipe exactly. Heck, at this point I would buy a good cookbook and have it overnighted to me if I knew a good Italian cream cake recipe was in it. HELP! Blessings, Kat

How Do You Feel About Buying and Using e-Cookbooks?
CKatCook replied to a topic in Cookbooks & References
For me it depends on the book. Now all my bread cookbooks that I consider "classics" I buy on paper (ie: Crust and Crumb, The Bread Bakers Apprentice). But for some others that are ones that I like, bought, but don't see it becoming a classic, then I get the ebook. (like diet cookbooks, 20 meals with 20 ingredients, etc LOL) -
"Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Bread"

OH man...I am so going to have to get this. -
I work a very busy job, as most people I suppose. When it comes to lunch time I am lucky to get time to eat. Let alone go out anywhere outside the office eat (It is a rare day that happens for me). Short of getting a new job, I have to pack my lunches. The problem? I am in a serious packed lunch rut. I have looked around on the internet, I have checked out cookbooks, everything seems either 1) geared toward kids or 2) made of wraps and sandwiches. I am SICK of wraps and sandwiches! Salads always work, but then I get tired of that too. Storage is not an issue, there is a refrigerator and microwaves. I am in an office environment, so keeping stuff fresh is not an issue. I just desperately need to "mix it up". Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your thoughtful replies!

Try looking around the internet for "paleo diet". Tons of recipes are out there, the "diet" is mostly very low fodmap.

I have Peterson's sauces, but none of this others. I will look into that. I have not heard of Glorious French Food. Another one to look into. -

Education In Classic French Cooking At Home...

Yes, classic French in the sense of the term. Like if I was to go to a classic french cooking school, what kind of education would I get? -> those are the books I want to start cooking and learning from. -
One of my favorite things to do is armchair travel and try foods from all over the world, at home. So I got to thinking, what would it take to give myself an education in classic french cooking at home. What kind of books, websites, reading and cooking would I need? I already have a pretty well stocked kitchen pots, pans, knives, etc. But what books would get me there? Thanks in advance for your kind replies!
