About this time for the last 4 or 5 years my Internet friends and I have had a "Christmas Book Wish list.

This one is a pure whim, I have read good reports about it.

Asian Sauces & Marinades
By Wendy sweetsir.

I await with bated breath for your lists ( that way as always, I end up adding to mine as my friends will tell you) :)
 
I'd like to add to my "Beautiful" collection....
also, an early edition of "Joy".

My husband hates my books, so I doubt I'll be getting any, unless friends do so. (well, hate is a strong word. he thinks I'm obsessive about them.)

so???
 
My list includes the new edition of Joy and I like Ina Gartens new book. I looked through it at the bookstore. Maybe Santa looks at Discuss Cooking.
 
Well, here you go. Some have been on my list for years, others are new:

Flat Breads and Flavours (Alford & Duguid)
Gourmet's Old Vienna
Fit For A King (Merle Armitage) 1939 What are my chances?
Love & Dishes (Niccolo de Quattrocioochi) 1950
Bite ( Gael Greene) It sounds like fun.
The Naked Chef (Billie Young) Another fun sounding one.
Paris Cuisine (James Beard & Alexander Watt) 1952
Tapas The Little Dishes Of Spain (Penelope Casas)
From Tapas To Meze (Johann Weir)
Asian Tapas (Chrisophe Megel)

Mudbug and KathyJ, do I ever understand.

You know you have too many cookbooks when you haven't read most and can't find the one you want.

Guilty as charged.

And would love a few days, or a couple of hours a day, just to go through the ones I have.
 
good morning aunt
I think all cooks are guilty of that lol :) Christmas without a new cook book would just, not be Christmas
 
There are two (well they look like it anyway) under the tree right now......I think I had five or six on my list so don't know which I'm getting.

I think I forgot to put Ina's new one on...darn.

The books listed by title, author, and ISBN are listed on abebooks.com as a "want". Whenever a bookseller registers a book that matches my search criteria, I get an email that a book has been found. This website is a good source for old, out-of-print, and rare books. Be advised that the out-of-print and rare books will likely cost $$$$$$.
 
"BBQ (I already have “Thrill of the Grill” and “License to Grill”)"

AllenOK, I recently got two great ones. "How To Grill" by Steven Raichlen, and "Grilling America" by Rick Browne. I bought them to give away as presents, but have decided to keep them. :angel:
 
Any cookbook added to my growing collection is GREAT. I also have two James Patterson books that I NEED.
 
assuming that Signed Blank Cheque books don`t count.
I`de like anything by Dr Seuss that I don`t already have (there`s quite a few I`m missing).

and stop Laughing, I saw you! :P
 
So far this holiday season, I know I am getting/have gotten:

The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook
Barefoot Contessa Parties
Barefoot in Paris
The Bread Baker's Apprentice
Bouchon

So far I am happy with all of them!
