I Have a New Project - cjs - 09-02-2007 Since I'm just a tad past middle age... ![]() Each month I'll choose one of the books I've not cooked from and for that month cook some of the dishes from it. I think it will be fun. Sept. book is Nigella Lawson's, Feast, and even tho I've cheated right out of box, I didn't see that hot chocolate recipe until I was marking ideas to try, so that doesn't count... Certainly will not cook exclusively from the books, just try one or two a week. Anyway, I'll see how well I do with this project - it ought to be fun. Re: I Have a New Project - bbally - 09-02-2007 If you are looking for a place to start, page 303 is the beginning of the Georgian feast. The stuffed chicken a few pages in is an excellent recipe, and you have the makings of a great soup after the dinner is completed! Love the book! Re: I Have a New Project - Mare749 - 09-02-2007 What a fun idea, Jean. I just started watching Nigella, (don't know why or how I missed her before now)and I love to watch her cook! Maryann Re: I Have a New Project - Roxanne 21 - 09-02-2007 What a great idea, Jean!!! I started doing that very thing about four months ago. I have over 1000 (YES, one thousand) cookbooks and many are just pretty to look at and very complicated recipes----for the pro for sure but I loved the ideas presented--- ![]() ![]() I think it might be fun to have a review each month---RECIPES FROM BOOKS WE HAVE NOT COOKED FROM BUT ARE SITTING THERE??? Just quickie reviews---then, if anyone interested in the recipe--we could post?? Nigella---yes!!! I have two books (not tried a thing) Giada de Laurentis (ditto) Barefoot Contessa (ditto) Ainsley Harriot James Martin tons of more homey type books Share a Recipe (I have made a couple--- ![]() I have many collections of Grand Diplome etc. TOO many to comment on--- ![]() What do you all think?? FUN, Jean!!! Re: I Have a New Project - Roxanne 21 - 09-02-2007 Fun to watch her cook but better to watch her eat what she cooked--- ![]() She is HUGE here---many, many programs!!! She is truly a delight!! Re: I Have a New Project - cjs - 09-02-2007 "Share a Recipe (I have made a couple---)" - I know that book!!!! ![]() What a fun idea, Roxanne!! Let's do it! Re: I Have a New Project - MUSICMAKER - 09-02-2007 Sounds like all of us have the SAME cookbooks! In title and quantity! Would we all make something from the same book or all of us use a different book? This sounds like fun! The once or twice a month review with the C@H recipes isn't enough, for me, at least. Should we tune this plan up a bit more? Re: I Have a New Project - cjs - 09-02-2007 I think we all ought to do our own thing and when we run across a really good one, we can review and share it. sound good? I need to use this project to work around what all I have in my freezer, so I'll need to choose that way - at least for a while. Re: I Have a New Project - Roxanne 21 - 09-02-2007 That is how I have been doing it. Go to the freezer--okay what's been here for a while--take it out and to the books!! I agree that maybe a review according to what we have concocted from whatever chef---go from there. I don't think that we all have the same collections so that would be a little out of range for most...use what we have and share the experience. This is gonna be a treat!!! Let's not forget the dinner parties, though!!! Those must remain sacred!! ![]() Anybody else??? Re: I Have a New Project - Lorraine - 09-02-2007 Jean, I'm in!!! What a great idea! We both have a cookbook from a great looking Italian young Chef. I think he works in England. I've always wanted to make soem of his dishes. ![]() |
