Your FAV new cookbook so far this year?

[chubbyalaskagriz]

Cool Cath- thanks for the recommendation! I can't order any until my next pay-day, or even further down the road, but since all 5 are available for LOW used prices, I may just get them all! They look like larger, lovely books- loaded w/ gorgeous photos!

Janie- it'll be fun to get them maybe around the s ame time you do so we can compare notes!

Cookbook Review of Brook's:

A Dear Friend who’s knees-deep in food projects all over warns about “The Frugal Foodie Cookbook”. KYHeirloomer calls it: “A totally exploitive "cookbook" that takes Jeff Smith's wonderful concepts and aborts them in every way possible. It's officially out this month, and my review will be at cheftalk in October---a review where it's totally panned.”

They all look great, janie- let us know, okay?

I can't afford any for another pay-chack or two 'cause I've got other things callin' for $, but I look forward to ordering another used book just as soon as I'm able!

I got the Brass Sisters book in the mail today. Not what I expected. It is a very eclectic collection of recipes. There are more recipes that I probably wont try than ones I will in the book. I am still waiting on the Rachael Ray book and the Diner recipes book. They should be about any day.

[jglass]

Skip the diner cookbook. It wasnt much.
