I received The Good Home Cookbook in the mail a few days ago after Andy of Spittoon Extra fame alerted me to these babies being given away to good homes so long as they got honestly written about.
Honesty? That’s my specialty!
First off, I was totally shocked by the size of this cookbook. [...]

I was shocked to see that I only had ONE visitor all day yesterday . . . and then I remembered that I upgraded to the new Beta version of Blogger on Friday and that had probably killed the HTML for the counter . . . WHOOPSIE!
So to all the bloggers out there: don’t forget [...]
In My Library: VEGETARIAN PASTA COOKBOOK
Posted on December 9, 2006 - Filed Under cookbooks, pasta, vegetarian | Leave a Comment
Once upon a time, I was a vegetarian. In fact, I was a vegetarian for a number of years (7 or 8, if memory serves me). I bought and poured over dozens of vegetarian cookbooks during that time, looking for innovative recipes that didn’t call for tofu. I am not particularly fond of tofu.

Before going to New York the other day, I looked for new and upcoming eateries in the Columbia-Barnard area. One that caught my eye was Panino Sportivo, which is located beneath Barnard College’s Plimpton Residence Hall in an area that once held rundown and rarely frequented ethnic eateries.
For starters, just seeing people at this restaurant [...]

Everyone who cooks has a book that they consider their go-to, their trusted tome, their bible of cooking . . . for me, that is Betty Crocker’s Cookbook (note: the link goes to the latest edition, not the one I have since it’s several years old).
My copy of this cookbook is dog-eared from usage [...]

I got a little nostalgic yesterday while driving home from Christmas shopping with my son and ended up driving by the house I lived in for much of my life. I also passed by, on the way, some of the many places I used to go to with my family and schools I attended. It’s [...]

I love books. All kinds of books. Teen angst dramas, crime thrillers, classics, travel books, parenting books . . . but especially, especially cookbooks. And while I typically don’t cook often from cookbooks, I love to read them for tips, trends and ideas.

Seduced by Spice

I’ve read all about Penzeys at my fellow bloggers’ sites. And everyone RAVES about them for their great spices and whatnot. I checked them out online and was impressed with the prices so I intended on ordering, but hadn’t gotten around to it yet.
You can imagine my pleasure and surprise recently when I was driving [...]
