Got the RR Comfort Food book today. Small book but packed with some delish family recipes. Great soup recipes for this awful weather.

I think this book is mostly her family recipes before she started tweaking all of them trying to get more and more recipes to print. I have her book Just in Time and I dont care for it near as much as I do this one.

Well Cathy- you were right!

I received my used copy of "Two Meatballs in the Italian Kitchen" today...

...and let me tell you- my first impressions are great! It may very well be the most satisying cookbook I've obtained all year! It was a like-new volume purchased used for just 4 bucks (original price $35.00) and it's a thick, beefy volume chock-full of stunning photography and loads of recipes and personal dialogue/conversations.

The cookbook takes a similar approach as Julia & Jacques' book where they offer their own individual renditions of classic dishes- each letting their personal flair shine through.

But in this book there's a lot of bantering, insulting, and even name-calling that goes on between Tuscan born chef Pino Luongo and Queens born/bred Mark Straussman.

So far I've only thumbed through and read the first 30 pages- but it looks like a winner!
