thanks! I'll check these out. what kind of kitchen "tools" would you recommend? Is there a special pot that works better for cooking soups? (cast iron? non stick? dutch over(not even sure what that is!)) do you think a food processer is necessary? hope you don't mind all the remedial questions! thanks, lori

My boyfriend recently attended a lecture hosted by Steven Shaw at the Smithsonian Institution (Resident Associates Program) in Washington,DC. He said it was great! He also told me that Mr. Shaw recommended a great cook book, specifically for soups. But unfortunately, he can't remember the name of the book. Can anyone help me figue out which book he was referring to? I'd like to get in touch with Mr. Shaw personally to find the answer to this question, so if anyone can help me do that, that would be fantastic. In the meantime, any soup cook book suggestions you have are greatly welcomed. Thanks very much!
