Dang! 102, 073.

(KitchenQueen and ronnie -- we have a guest room and a fold-out couch. C'mon down!)

[SuzySushi]

I have 3 more that I forgot to mention.

[JAZ]

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.

Hi Maggie:

27 new since my last post here, including Ruth Reichl's "Garlic and Sapphires" and FG's new opus!!

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. Still no Nero Wolfe yet, Amazon is playing the stall...

[slschnur]

402 and counting.

[MicBacchus]

3 more for me - I think I have a problem

[Safran]

Hé, Maggie,

Two more for me: The Silver Spoon and Mangoes & Curry Leaves...

[snowangel]

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

[heyjude]

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.

[rjwong]

Add one more: Il Cucchiaio d'argento (in English). Yes, it's The silver spoon.

[MicBacchus]

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

[Megan Blocker]

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...

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

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.

[WHS]

Just bought "Bouchon" for $15 at Building 19 in Nashua! $50 retail...

[Mottmott]

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.

[maggiethecat]

I apologize --- the calculator has become dusty from disuse. 102,199.

[judiu]

Let's see; I just unwrapped All About Brasing 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!

[Kim D]

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.
