We have a lot of new friends here on c@h in the last few months since the Share a Recipe Cookbook has been mentioned. So, for those of you who have not heard of it, just take a minute to read this - if you'd like to.
A few years ago, a group of folks on another cooking forum got together to publish a cookbook that ALL of the profits (over costs to produce the book) go to Chef scholarships. So far we have been fortunate enough to have given one $1,000.00 scholarship from the sales of this book.
The book consists of recipes that all of us and/or our parents cooked when we were all young and had very little money. Nothing in the book is "haute cuisine" - the dishes are all just comfort foods and dishes you can prepare for families inexpensively. And let me tell you, they are all delicious.
The cost of the book is $20.50 ($18.00 + $2.50 S&H - in the U.S.) S&H is $8.00 out of the U.S.
If anyone is interested, please send me a p.m. and we'll get a book out to you right away. I'm mentioning the book at this time of year because they are also wonderful stocking stuffers!!
Here's an example of the dishes in the book - I love this one - just to whet the appetite for the book.
ROAST SAUSAGE WITH ONIONS, PEPPER & POTATOES
Recipe By: (Roberto), Kernersville, NC USA
Amounts are irrelevant - this is ultra simple and delicious.
Bell Peppers - green, red, yellow - whatever you prefer to use - cored, seeded and cut into nice chunks.
Potatoes, scrubbed & cubed into large chunks.
Large onions, of any variety, peeled and chunked.
Salt & Pepper, Olive oil
Sausage - Italian is the primary choice but this is wonderful with Kielbasa, Bratwurst, Chorizo, Andouille, whatever you can get a lot of for a little.
Combine all cut vegetables in a large foil roasting pan and drizzle with a goodly amount of olive oil, season with salt & pepper.
I add some crushed red pepper, a little Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano and mix well.
Cover with foil and bake in a 350°F oven for about an hour.
While the veggies cook, parboil your sausage in a little water in a covered pan for 15 to 20 minutes.
When veggies are starting to get nice and soft, cut the sausage into nice size pieces and add to the roasting pan.
Cover and bake 3/4 to 1 hour, then uncover & roast under the broiler, stirring occasionally, till the sausage is browning nicely and the veggies start to show signs of browning.
Serve with grated cheese, bread and a salad, or a raw vegetable antipasto, or soup, or anything.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
