Ottolenghi cookbooks
Santa has noted both responses and done his job. ;-)

Ottolenghi cookbooks
@QS, Santa definitely needs more specific help, at least around here. :-) @Zosia, Thanks, that's exactly the kind of the kind of opinion I was looking for!

Second that idea, @friederike

Another challenge idea might be Amanda Hesser's Essential New York Times Cookbook. This is a huge book and it would be nice to have more recipe reviews.

I liked that the Details page for the challenge says: 3. Available prizes. Two (3) prizes of one (1) cookbook each, to be chosen by the winner from any of Martha Rose Shulman's previous cookbooks regularly available for bookstore purchase (no r…

On the cookbook itself. And maybe everyone that owns it could get a notification if they want??? I'd like to be able to ask a question. E.g., I once bought a used book that was ex-library and turned out to have a page missing. By the time I dis…

Surely this has come up before, but I'd really like to be able to chat/discuss, not only on a recipe, but on a cookbook.

Funny, my memory of eating in Greece was salads and seafood, yet restaurants tend to have heavy things like moussaka. I haven't gotten to the meat chapters in O&C yet (and they're not the majority of the book), but have marked a lot of…

I haven't finished reading it yet, and have only made one recipe. But it is a wonderful read so far, with lots of stories and extra information.

Someone just added a book that sounded interesting to me, so I clicked through to have a better look. There's no link on the cookbook page to take me to Amazon or other book seller. Wouldn't this be a nice idea? Especially if you're s…

New Cookbooks - 2012
Another Slater Diary, and I see Madhur Jaffrey has a new book, Ultimate Curry Bible. I was already asking Santa for Herbivoracious and one of Ottolenghi's books. My shelves are so full already. Every new book is a challenge to put away. Oh dear…

Review confusion
Not your fault. It's cookbooker that's showing me both versions. It's still showing the wrong number of stars on the Recent Activity list and your actual stars/comments on the review page. It's as if Recent Activity is showing so…

My copy is on the way -- yay, another cookbook, just what I need. ;-) Cleaning up some of the cookbook shelves* in the last weeks, I've found yet more Shulman books tucked away. Looks like she's my most popular cookbook author. I'd h…

@kateq, which book did you borrow, now ordered?

I've got a stack of Shulman cookbooks and use most of them fairly regularly. I like that she doesn't obsess on the low-fat craze, but uses proper ingredients in moderation. I don't have the Very Best Of Recipes for Health, but it look…

my personal cookbooker challenge
@Andrew, in general I agree with your statement about avoiding cookbooks with numbers in the title, but I have to say I've found some of the "365" books quite good. "365 Ways to Cook Pasta" might be the only pasta cookbook o…

Newest Challenge - Paula Wolfert's Moroccan Cooking
@QS, just my question. @Zosia, thanks for your great instructions. I'm thinking, also, that this is something to try ... once.

Is there a way that I'm not seeing to invite a friend to join Cookbooker? I'd like to be able to enter an email and send that person an invitation, complete with a link to the sign-up page.

I have it easy -- I just tell Santa what I most want and that's what I get. He's a bit lazy and finds that easier than looking through all my Wants lists. :-) So, I got Reinhardt's Bread Baker's Apprentice, and The Geometry of Pa…

Thanks for the comments. It looks like I'll find Reinhardt under the tree. :-)

Maybe this is possible, but I'm not finding it right now. I'd like to receive an email notification when someone comments on a review I've written or a review where I've commented, or liked, or "saved". (Where do I find…

I'd sure like to see a "wish list" feature, where I could add books that I'd like to get. And to get fancy, I'd like to be able to rate my wish intensity (high, medium, low) as I can on Amazon. And I'd love to be able …
