Add another buck to my "It's @Toliver's fault!" tab. Though, I must confess. I'd already bought it from reading my BookBub email, but it's more fun to blame somebody else. Along with another Persia cookbook, both to go along with a couple of non-sale-priced grain bowl cookbooks I ordered last night. Among the grains I have here to work with are farro, buckwheat groats, bulghur, millet, quinoa, several different kinds of rice, barley, along with couscous. Will be interesting to see what I find to try.

I didn’t get caught up in any sort of buying frenzy but I did a little research on the “slow cook” book.  According to the introduction the recipes were tested with the 6 qt Instant Pot in slow cooker mode as well as with traditional slow cookers.  Just saying.

I just don't want to look back and think "I could have eaten that."

Unsupervised, rebellious, radical agrarian experimenter, minimalist penny-pincher, and adventurous cook. Crotchety, cantankerous, terse curmudgeon, non-conformist, and contrarian who questions everything!

I bought all three.

I've known about the Mile End Montreal smoked meat recipe for a long time, and 'adaptations' are readily available.

That recipe may be what they're more famous for, but, Jewish cuisine of one of my loves, so I ordered the book.

Score another one for @Toliver. Since the local Indian restaurant closed, I'm reduced to either cooking my own or going to Memphis or Little Rock.

I am now the proud owner of The Bread Bible.  I have been sitting here trying to figure out how to make something resembling Dave's Killer Bread, the 21 grain variety and the book has already answered one rather important question that I had, namely the maximum amount of grains and seeds I can use for a certain amount of flour.  Already it has saved me from myself.xD
