Restless for a new cookbook

[mrsadm]

((( please don't throw any heavy objects )))

I know not everyone likes the "Cook's Illustrated" style of cooking magazine but I just bought their latest "Best Recipe". I admit I am a bit of a techie nerd and as such I do love reading and learning about the methods they went through to come up with their "best" recipes.

I also just bought the braising book based on seeing so many compliments about it ... but won't use it until cooler fall weather.

I've just suscribed to CI. And I thought I would only braise in the cool weather too, but I've been braising with that book on and off all summer, including last night! It's addictive.

I am cooking from my newest book American Boulangerie from the Bay Boulangerie in San Francisco. The wild mushroom and cheese tart is perfect summer dining. Add a salad, a nice french rose and it makes a nice summer meal.

I got Grace Young's utterly fantastic Breath of the Wok on supersale at Marshall's, of all places, a few months back, and I've been making my way through many of those recipes. It's really worth grabbing if you see it.

I also think the new "Best Recipe" is quite useful. It's a good read and great to have on the shelf for general reference... and cheap too!

Joyce Goldstein's The Mediterranean Kitchen . Even though I've had it for a long time, and have lots of far more specialized region by region books, there's something about this book that draws me in, and makes me feel, yes, I want to cook that!

Anybody located between North Carolina and the Union Square Greenmarket should ruch our and pick up Patrick O'Connell's (of the Inn at Little Washington) Refined American Cusinine, which is pitched perfectly for this region and season. Corn, country ham, crabs and shellfish, fresh peaches -- it's like he's going to the same markets you are.

Can anyone recommend a Spanish food cookbook, with recipes for things like empanadas, etc. more Columbia or Dominican Republic or Puerto Rican type recipes.

Are you asking for a cookbook on Spanish food or on Latin American food?
