I can't remember when I last updated my count, so I'm guessing here. At the very least, I've acquired Secrets From a Caterer's Kitchen, La Cocina de Mama, Candies, Truffles and Confections, Boulevard, Proscuitto, Pancetta Salame (the latest from Pamela Sheldon Johns), and Rick Tramato's Amuse-Bouche, which I found on sale for $5. So that's six.

Fortunately, I just sold 42. We can now see the floor in the front hall closet. Unfortunately, the money is going to a few new cook books. Kiddle is becoming interested in braising, roasting, Asian whole fish dishes and such. Must also remind self, check fire extinguisher.

Add one to my total; Southern Living 2005 Annual. I also got a Burt Greene from Chris, but since that was from a fellow e-Gullet member, it was already accounted for. :raz: Still no Nero Wolfe yet, Amazon is playing the stall... :angry:

26 used and 5 new for me including Mango and Curry Leaves, Rover's, The Herbal Kitchen and some nice Elizabeth David Penguins, A Harold McGee and a Richard Olney Simple French Food. I have room for about a dozen more. I have to rearrange the linen closet.

3 for me - Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeurves, one each by Rick Bayless and Todd English. Still have some on my wish list - I still think I have a problem :shock:

Add one for me - my friend Louisa bought me the Gourmet cookbook as a hostess gift for having her to stay this weekend. Two points:

a) Lou, you rock!!!

b) I cannot believe I didn't own this...I think I bought four copies last year and gave them all away as gifts... :laugh:

ETA: Make that TWO more for me...just got my eBay-ed copy of "Mmmmmm: A Feastiary," by Ruth Reichl.

Add Fuchsia Dunlop's Land of Plenty.  $6.98 at Half Price Books.  They never have a clue what these books are worth, thankfully.

As a Chinese-American (parent's from Szechaun and Hunan). I love this book! Its the only authentic Szechaun cookbook written in English that I've found.

Oh Lordy, it's been a long time since I've updated. Add about 25 or so that I bought at Atlantic. Then I bought about 6 on baking, including Baker's Apprentice, Silverton's bread baking, Baker's Dozen, elsewhere another 10 including Wolfert's Slow Mediterranean, Stevens' on braising, Bouchon. I've run out of room in my cookbook bookcase. I need to cull the herd.

Let's see; I just unwrapped All About Brasing :wub: and at the Library sale I found The Art Of French Cooking and five more "generic" Junior League books, so that's seven more for me. Gotta get those bookshelves built! :rolleyes:

I finally got around to counting my cookbooks. If I found them all, I have 140.

Yesterday, my copy of The Bread Baker's Apprentice arrived.

Today, just as I was despairing of receiving them before Christmas, the postman arrived bearing:

Mangoes & Curry Leaves

Desserts by Pierre Herme

All About Braising

What more could I want?

Well, I know the answer to that. I want Saha but it won't be published in the USA until September 2006. It's on my wishlist.

Carlos' Contemporary French Cuisine by Debbie and Carlos Nieto

(with Arlene Michlin Bronstein and Ken Bookman)

Two Chanukah presents from Ms. Alex:

The Silver Spoon

Mangoes & Curry Leaves (Jeffrey Alford & Naomi Duguid)

And a present from myself, via eBay:

Italian Family Cooking (Edward Giobbi)

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
