Posted: 12/27/2008 5:55:04 AM | Just bought a book by Paula Deen.............LIVING IT UP, Southern Style.
Some ingredients I could never get my hands on BUT many good ones I am going to try in the near future. It is a book for entertaining. | |

Posted: 12/27/2008 6:53:53 AM | Merry Christmas DM.... I just have to ask,, what kinds of things have you seen in her book that you can't find?
I find it interesting what people eat or don't eat in other places. I know what is common to me, might be impossible to get somewhere else. I know ya'll eat a dish that is fries, gravy and cheese curds ~ I have no idea what cheese curds are and I'm sure I won't find it in my market.
Tortillas are a staple in my kitchen, but I've lived in other parts of the USA where you could not buy them, or if you could they were not fit to eat. Last time I lived away from this area, my Mom mailed me tortillas.
I recently got a reproduction of the Fannie Farmer 1896 Cookbook and it is full of stuff I have no clue about. But, it's an interesting read.

Posted: 12/27/2008 7:17:46 AM | TB - Cheese Curds...fresh Cheddar cheese in its natural, random shape and form before being processed into blocks and aged. Curds have a mild taste with a slightly rubbery texture and should squeak when eaten.
Note: Freshness may be lost 24 hours after opening package.

Is the cookbook called Boston Cooking School Cookbook? Youngest found me one at an estate auction a few years ago - lots of interesting things between the covers. | |

Posted: 12/27/2008 8:48:59 AM | Thanks for the info on the cheese curds,, but, it's not to be found at my market. Maybe in a larger city tho...
The cookbook is
The Original Fannie Farmer 1896 Cook Book
The Boston Cooking School
A facsimile of the first edition, originally published in 1896. So, yes CC, it may be the same one you have. I agree, it is very entertaining.
I had an original edition I got while living in Arkansas, over 40 years ago. But, some years back my house burned and the book, along with everything else, was lost.
But, I treasure this one as well. My younger brother was a professional chef and the book was from his collection.

A freaking hilarious Read, with some great recipes as well, and yep.... cook em on your car engine.
I had a previous copy of this great book, only my daughter thought she would be kind and gave it away. I was PISSED OFF to say the least as it was out of print and I couldn't find a paperback copy of it for under a hundred smackers.
Well just my luck, out came the newest revised edition last November and I had to have it again. Now I'm keeping it under lock and key. That little shit ain't gettin this one, unless she tears it out of my cold dead hands.

Posted: 12/27/2008 11:32:52 PM | | I haven't bought a cookbook in years, but I have a copy of "Tastes of Home Contest Winning Recipes" which I got as a free promo. It has excellent recipe and meal ideas. They have a website full of recipes as well. When I want a recipe, I usually go to the Food Networks website and see what Paula, Alton, or Emeril have to offer. I also head out to the public library and borrow cookbooks. I have been slowly learning to bake Artisan breads with the help of books from the library. I won't be opening a bakery anytime soon, but good rolls or bread fresh from the oven can make any meal better. | |

Posted: 12/28/2008 8:08:10 PM | | I spent 5 years working for Barnes and Noble, so I emassed a substantial cookbook collection really cheaply. I also like to try to buy at least one cookbook from anyplace new that I travel to, assuming that I liked the local food, lol! The last one I bought was "The Barbados Cookbook". Couldn't find any in English in Norway or Iceland, and couldn't find any native ones at all in Curacao, just general Caribbean ones. | |

I haven't bought a cookbook in years, but I have a copy of "Tastes of Home Contest Winning Recipes" Seriously whatsallthis... you should check out the magazine. One of the best culinary mags I have found. Simple and easy ingredients that you mostly have on hand. I have a huge basket full of these magazines dating back as far as 93. You'll find many of the recipes you'll use over and over again. I have so many favs it's hard to categorize all of them. I'll never part with a single magazine, but I will pass them on to my daughter when I am cold and in my grave.
Highly recommended for the beginning cook as well as the seasoned professional.

Posted: 1/5/2009 3:23:43 PM | I've also invested in about 5 or 6 books on Dutch Oven cooking. Along with a shit load of cast iron Dutch ovens, camp stoves, and other various equipment. Can't wait to put them all to good use.

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:10:05 AM | my cookbook is called "Google". Seriously, you can find at least 4 different recipes for everything under the sun. And you can print it out and use the printout in the kitchen without worrying about getting food spatters and grease stains on your beautiful glossy cookbook!

Posted: 1/9/2009 8:54:47 PM | | Better Homes and Gardens, from many years ago. Back to the basics recipes we all grew up with. I also have been reading Bon Appetite magazine, wow, just the pictures are art. I'm hoping to aspire in the Culinary Arts this summer. | |

Posted: 1/9/2009 9:34:49 PM | Betterhomes is a very well written cookbook and great for the beginning cook, theres a very good reason why 99% of my friends parents have it.
Last cookbook I purchased is called the Flavor Bible, and it gives you pages upon pages of ingredients and goes on to say what compliments your spice, vegetable or whatever. It even tosses several recipes in too. As a semi-professional cook this book is pretty much as the title says... the bible.

Posted: 10/21/2009 5:23:13 PM | The last two were from the Hamilton book catologue. One was a collection of recipes from Southern Living magazine. The other was a reprint of an old French cookbook whose name I can't remember. (I'm not at home right now.) I'm not sure that this one will be as keeper because the recipes are not laid out in a way that's user friendly for the modern cook. The measurements, I mean. I haven't made anything from either of them yet, but came close to making a duck recipe from the last one.

Posted: 10/22/2009 10:33:56 AM | ^^ Of course not. You can't very well have friends over for dinner without****ails before the meal in my world.
Grain Free Gourmet and Everyday Grain Free Gourmet. Worthwhile, but they're lying when they say their waffles taste like normal waffles, or that using strips of zucchini in a lasagna instead of pasta isn't noticeable. | |
