Great review. I got this one free with the Nabisco points and have already tried several recipes and they were all hits here.

My first cookbook was either a Farm Journal Cookie one or Good HouseKeeping one. I've always loved to cook and my Aunt (I baby sat for her daughterwhen I was around 12) and we joined a cookbook club together and these were my first purchases with my babysitting money. I now have close to 1,500...

It's icy here so we're having chili. Nice and spicy.

We just finished our dinner and had beer brats, kraut, boiled new red potatoes and rye bread. Son made the brats, I did the kraut and potatoes and daughter made the bread. It was very good. The guys washed theirs down with German beer and the girls had water. We're trying to keep the calories...

Got my book today and I'm looking forward to reading it. Hope others will get theirs soon. Our whole family loves No Reservations on the travel channel and was delighted when the new season started. We're adventurous eaters here and like Anthony will try almost anything once and twice if we like it.

I often watch the food network shows on Sat to see if something sparks an intrest for our Sat dinner and today Paula Deen made a Cheese burger meat loaf so we decided on that. I made mine and my daughters healthier by using turkey, low fat cheese and omiting the mayo and bacon Paula used. For...

Several people on another list I'm on said they received copies of Nasty Bits today. Maybe the rest of us who ordered one will also receive copies soon. Anyone here get one yet?

I've got to try the clay pot method someone mentioned. I love my clay pot for chicken and also fresh herbed potatoes but haven't done corned beef in it. I usually do mine in the slow cooker with Guiness Beer for the liquid. Son says cabbage contamiates it like attie also mentioned so I usually...

We had breakfast for dinner tonight. Scrambled eggs, country ham, homemade biscuits, and fried apples with dried cranberries.

It's not easy SuzyQ3. I have two big bookshelves in my living room, with a roll top desk between them. Not only do I have those shelves overflowing, I have them stacked to the celing on top of both those shelves and almost that high in three stacks on back top of the desk. Then I have another...

My Mom, daughter and I will be cooking for around 20. Sometimes my sister and her DIL and grandaughter make it in time to help too. We have it at my Mom and Dad's every year. We also have the same menu with very little variation. Mom's famous stuffing - which daughter and I now make (Mom...

SuzyQ3, It's a yahoo group and it's called CookbooksEtCetera Very friendly group with members whos collections range from 50 or less to those who have in the 1,000's. If you like talking cookbooks it's a fun group.

I love cookbooks and have close to 1400. I find lots of treasures at used book stores, thrift stores, yard sales and flea markets and also at paperbackswap.com. Need details about PBS email me. I hardly ever pay full price for a book. Exceptions are the year I went to the LA Times Book...
