another holiday weekend - another round of cleaning and simplifying lead by Himself. Typical diaglog "do you REALLY need that ?!" "yeah, just like you need 46 shirts all hanging in the closet ". so we compromise - some shirts go and some cookbooks that i have extracted all the information i want go...

Chinese Cooking for Pleasure - Helen Burke in collaboration with Fu Tong

The Great Book of Chinese Cooking - Piero Antolini The Lian Tjo

Practical Japanese Cooking: Easy and Elegant - Shizuo Tsuji and Koichiro Hata

pm me if you are interested. i read them in order that i get them.

[suzilightning]

[Rushina]

Inspired by Suzi, I went through my cookbooks over the weekend and pulled out some that I want to give away. I have posted the list on the India Forum since most of the books are Indian. Please feel free to go look.

well, the edit function seems to have disappeared on my screen so....

all the books have new homes

EXCEPT the cooking with rosie

[Rachel Perlow]

I have "In the Kitchen with Rosie" -- it's the one by Oprah's personal chef. A great diet hint I got out of there was for mock Ceasar salad dressing that I usually prefer more than the real thing: equal parts soy sauce and fresh lemon juice with mashed garlic and ground pepper. But, anyway, if you're an Oprah fan, it's a good book.

RG, I've got "The Girls of Hooters Valentine's Day Surprise" cookbook, if you want to swap me something similar.

[Chris Amirault]

I really agree with the idea of creating freecycle-style place for this. I have a pile that I'd happily send off or trade to someone who would consider doing the same, and I'd rather give to eGulleteers!

[Bacchusrogue]

I've got a bunch myself and Im happy to ship them off to people that want them and would love to receive them too!!

I'll make a list and post it pronto!!!

[judiu]

I have a feeling my "no new stuff" program is going to hell in a handbasket, here! Oh, well, what's a few more boxes gonna hurt once I get started moving?

My bookstore is now officially closed. The last of these are going ot the library book sale.

I'm surprised there wasn't more interest in this. I'm glad to get rid of the books I did but I would have thought others would have had similar lists.

[suzilightning]

more streamlining so more books to let go of(though one isn't a cookbook). same rules apply - pm me with your snail mail address if you are interested. i answer in order received and will pop them off to you. so... here goes

The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Microwave Cookbook

Gourmet's In Short Order

[Smithy]

As a beneficiary of this thread, I want to pass the favor forward. Here are my offerings. PM me with your address if you're interested. First come, first served.

Penny W. Eisenberg, Passover Desserts

Andrew Schloss with Ken Bookman, While the Pasta Cooks (100 Recipes so easy you can prepare the sauce in the time it takes to cook the pasta)

New American Heart Cookbook full of oh-so-healthful takes on recipes that I know I'll never cook. It has calorie counts, grams of fat and carbohydrates, and so on. Who(m) was I kidding?

Edited to add the last cookbook, and again to remove a claimed cookbook. Apologies to those who've already quoted me.

I intended to get back to this thread before now, but I got distracted by the heartache of Katrina coverage, etc. However, in the meantime, I went for the Sheila Lukins book from Smithy and sent her a trade, an old Good Housekeeping cookbook. We were both happy with the exchange.

So, now I have the following books up for adoption. Please send me a PM if you want to provide a good home to any of these:

Italian Family Cooking by Edward Giobbi, 1971 (old/used);

Italian Cooking Made Easy by 'Round the World Books, 1979 (old/used); or

Truffles, Candies & Confections by Carole Bloom, 2004 (new/barely used).

[Soup]

What a great thread!!!

[Smithy]

My New American Heart Cookbook is now taken. This leaves me with

- Passover Desserts and

- While the Pasta Cooks

I'll add another. I have a spare copy of the Cooking Club of America's Celebrate! The Holiday Cookbook, complete with lovely photos and menus for various occasions. Warning: this particular copy was poorly printed, and the colors didn't always line up, so some of the print makes you think you need glasses, or that your hangover is worse than you thought. Still, if you can get past that it has some nice ideas.

[Chris Amirault]

OK, I'm diving in. I've got four books that I'd be happy to ship to anyone who's interested:

• Bert Greene's Kitchen
  Roasting by Barbara Kafka
  Pierre Franey's Cooking in America
  The Trellis Cookbook by Marcel Desaulniers
