New Challenge - May 2013

I love the inspiration to try something new that comes with reading reviews by other adventuresome cooks. I had quite a challenging year with cancer treatments and felt at times so disconnected from cooking and life "before". I would rea…

The Olive and the Caper is a very good book For all the reasons cited above. The author is an anthropologist and cook who is lived and worked in Greece for more than 30 years And has lots of very good and interesting anecdotal information. It is at…

my personal cookbooker challenge
Hi Everyone I think this is a great idea. I too feel guilty about some of my neglected cookbooks. I don't have a hope of getting to them all this year, as I keep buying more, yet I go back to my favorites time and again. I commit to cooking a…

Newest Challenge: The Moosewood Cookbook
Andrew-Does calendar year mean Jan-Dec? I won for a photo (I don't know if you still do that-do you?) I have had all Molly's books at one time or another, so if the only books awarded are those, and I would be excluded from winning other …

I like Jaffrey's World Vegetarian as well-it's not just an Indian cookbook, not at all like Vij. I have it but have not cooked from it yet, but it looks very interesting. That would be my first choice. Second would be Moosewood. I have b…

Thanks Andrew for the Best Cook Books Lists. Very helpful. Since Around My French Table showed on so many lists and won awards it would be a logical and interesting choice for an upcoming challenge. Thanks again.

What I'm Working on
What do you mean-add ingredient list to each recipe? Are you talking about the sample recipes for the challenge or are there other recipes on site?

Canadian Living recently came out with "Vegetarian Collection"-I just purchased it so I can't comment on the recipes yet.

I like the suggestions for Madhur Jaffery's World Vegetarian, Zuni and Moosewood. They are all good ideas for a vegetarian option.

Essential Cookbook
I agree with your friend-unfortunately. Her best are her first 3. I buy them anyway for inspiration (I like the pictures) and also all of them contain at least 3 or 4 "gold" recipes. I love Lidia's books for the teaching info, but …

I like your suggestion Andrew to use the forum to coordinate an unofficial challenge on versions of the same recipe. I'd participate gladly. However I was attracted to Cookbooker because of your original premise of exploring one cookbook inde…

I missed those recipes too! I found them by hitting the link in your last comment. I just tried to print them off and to do so it prints all the side bars etc on the (4) pages. If you can, it would be great to have a print option which would give …

Lidia's books are the must have's for me when I want to "really cook" for the family . She is a great teacher-lots of details, tips and how to's that stretch my cooking abilities. The food tastes great. I also like all In…

I would love to do a Lidia all rounder. I watch her show and have all her books. I think she is the best teacher out there and a real cook, not just a recipe developer, or someone who is hip for the camera. I think a vegetarian book review is a g…
