Never a need to apologize here. Welcome "back". I realized reading through I had never replied. I have down-sized for many reasons over the years and divested many books.. Never really cook from recipes, just use them as inspiration. I mean the piqued interest I've gotten from males seeing Madeleine Kamman's "When French Women Cook" on the shelf in my little beach kitchen was quite hilarious. She has wonderful stories. And Kim Severson's "Spoon Fed" is always on the nightstand - on top of it though is the one that gives me the most cooking propulsion so I'd have to call it my "one" for now: Melissa Clark's "In the Kitchen With a Good Appetite".
