New Books! - Gourmet_Mom - 09-17-2008
I just got the Soups, Stews, and Chili book! I also bought the Perfect Pasta book. (Some may remember I ordered it before, but instead got the Splendid Soups-which I STILL have NOT found!)
My question is...Have you found any "busts" in these? Maybe I'm just hungry for some good food, but it ALL looks good!

I love both the Soups, Stews and Chili Book - and the Splendid Soups -
I have lots of things from both books - great books

I have not found a bad one in the group - Soups, Stews & CHilies - and that darn cracker salad that goes with the Cincinnati chili is addictive!
Just looked and I haven't made anything from the Perfect Pasta book, it looks like. hmmmmmm

I haven't made anything yet from the Stews etc (it's packed and gone). I have made lots from the Perfect Pasta, and every one of them was a hit. I've given several of the PP to family as gifts, and they love them!

YAY! I knew those things looked good! I can't wait to dive in...just as soon as I get the dinner review done. William's out of town for two days, but when he gets back, my cooking slump will be history!
