Christmas Cookbook List!! - cjs - 09-23-2007 Lorraine just mentioned a Christmas book for Gil - and I realized how close Christmas is!!! So, how about we start a Christmas list and we can just add to it until it's just to darn late to order another one.... Shall we list our favorite five cookbooks we've gotten in '07 (or before, and maybe just started cooking from it ) I'm going to go think on this - and be back! O.K., here's my contribution - these are just the favorite go to books I've used this year the most. Nigella's is a late entry... 1. Joie Warner's No-Cook Pasta Sauces 2. Laurel Glen (I think it's a place, not an author - doesn't seem to be one author or one person who compiled) Bowl Food 3. Martin Yan's Quick & Easy 4. Jacques Pepin's Fast Food My Way 5. Nigella Lawson's Feast Re: Christmas Cookbook List!! - bjcotton - 09-23-2007 Geez Jean, sure you don't want something like, "Betty Crocker Does Dallas?" Maybe we could get it on video... Re: Christmas Cookbook List!! - MUSICMAKER - 09-23-2007 This was not easy! Here are my five choices – and NOT in preferential order: 1. Fiamma by Michael White -- what’s cooking in Italy today 2. Vegetables by James Patterson – just what it is! 3. Antipasti by Joyce Goldstein – antipasti and wine 4. Morning Food by Margaret Fox – breakfasts, brunches and more 5. How to Break an Egg by various – NOT a cook book but a “cooks” book. Has nearly 1,500 entries for food fixes, emergency substitutions, kitchen tips, techniques, and more. Something for everyone. Things like placing citrus rinds in garbage disposals to clean and refresh to how to carve a rack of lamb to deboning a whole chicken. Great book! I highly recommend this for anyone who enters a kitchen if only for ice from your freezer; (and there are tips for that, too!) Re: Christmas Cookbook List!! - labradors - 09-23-2007 Can't speak for '07, since my collection is relatively static at the moment, but the following come to mind (no particular order)

Smoke & Spice Culinary Artistry - a must have any of the "Beautiful Cookbooks" Morgan Freeman & Friends - Caribbean Cooking for a Cause Hallejujah! The Welcome Table - Maya Angelou Those are my go to's or books that I just love to sit and read. I have Maya Angelou's book and the cd - love to listen to her.

She's also one of my favorite authors. Re: Christmas Cookbook List!! - Harborwitch - 09-23-2007 I love her! The Caramel cake in that book is absolutely to die for! Re: Christmas Cookbook List!! - bjcotton - 09-23-2007 I'll have to try it. I loved her books too! Re: Christmas Cookbook List!! - jenni - 09-23-2007 My current faves: The Bread Bible by Beth Hensperger (was given this as a gift and LOVE it!!) Cookies by the Dozen by Dolores Kostelni (really good cookie recipes scaled down to make one tray (ish!) of cookies) Jan Karon's Mitford Cookbook (this means nothing to you unless you've read Karon's Mitford novels!)
