Dec. 4, 2006 - What's new on my cookbook shelf!
I love cookbooks. I reaaaally love cookbooks!
I thought I'd share with you the three latest purchases that have me impatiently awaiting our move across country in the new couple of weeks. I can't wait to set up my new kitchen and delve into new culinary adventures!
My 12yo daughter vanished yesterday with "Kitchen Garden Cooking", returning later to declare this was her "favourite!" cookbook. Once we settle in January we'll get to work on a new veggie and herb garden, and I can let her loose with the book to cook to heart's delight. The author, Stephanie Alexander, is an amazing lady. If you've not heard of her Kitchen Garden Foundation, then I suggest you have a look here. What a wonderful gift to give back to children!
I am yet to open the "Dough" book - choosing rather to savour it over a sweet capuccino at my favourite cafe later in the week.
The "Low GI Vegetarian Cookbook" is excellent, especially in the way so much information is taught about the vegetarian diet. With special attention paid to babies, children and teenagers, I will be handing this book over to my 12yo daughter as well.
Another book I have 'waiting' is Jamie Oliver's "Cook With Jamie". Unfortunately it is wrapped and under the Christmas tree, so my hours of perusing will have to wait until after Christmas. The acquisition of the latest Jamie Oliver cookbook is a tradition I set up with my husband years ago. He never knew what to buy me for Christmas (hates shopping, you see!) so I gave him a perpetual gift idea and so far he's never missed a Christmas. (The fact that I buy it and give it to him to give back to me is beside the point)
14yo son is my co-fan when it comes to Mr Oliver's cooking. We have been known to veg out for hours watching the aforementioned J.O. on video and dvd. This time of culinary rapture is quickly followed by a surge of activity in the kitchen, much to the delight of the other waiting palates in our home.
I love to cook. I think you guessed that by now. ;-)
