This picture shows Queezle, a quail who lived with us for a year. She because our friend (not dinner), but eventually a wild male courted her through the window, and so she returned to the wild.

Andrew, when I try to sort my web sites by date, the list doesn't change. I think that button isn't working correctly. No urgency at all.

I'm going to have to buy this book. My daughter's 14th birthday is coming, and she requested the same cream of wheat that was served at a German public school she attended in 2007. I was getting nowhere finding an appropriate recipe, and…

David Lebovitz' blog features My Berlin Kitchen today - it is a nice write up, and it includes a beautiful plum tart with a yeasted dough. I mention this not only because this looks like such a nice book, but also for all of us who are intrig…

How do you start a cookbook club?
I'm very late to report to all of you on our cookbook club's canyon BBQ. We had a lovely venue, and a wonderful meal that even included home brew. I prepared this cornbread, and others prepared dishes such as Chili Verde and chicken ench…

'Modernist Cuisine' authors launch free online cooking school
How interesting! I actually know very little about sous vide - just the general buzz and general idea. I'd think the suppliers would have jumped at the thought of placing their circulating water baths in kitchens. Cookbookers (and Bunyip in…

'Modernist Cuisine' authors launch free online cooking school
I'm trying to figure out how to "borrow" my Haake circulating water bath. It has only been used a few times for research, no nasty chemicals, and has water temperature accuracy +/- 0.1 ˚C. It would be a perfect sous vide -- but mayb…

I do love Greek food. This sounds like a lovely cookbook - I'll look for it!

I read Chow, and have consulted their cookbook discussions, and even participated once. I don't think I get any junk email from them, maybe no email at all. There are posted questions that can be useful - e.g. advice on how to buy a tagine. …

Very interesting! It would be fun to have a group of us "take" these classes and comment. But can you do the sous vide without a special machine? I suppose I could bring a waterbath home from work, but....

I've not used unifine - we only recently discovered that it was still made. Last year one could order from Amazon, but maybe not this year. Here is a link to the flour: http://www.organickingdom.com/hard-white-w-w-flour-org-unifine-438.html …

Sorry about that. The link is pasted below: http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/2006/07/crossing_the_atlantic_by_cookb.html Yet another version of flour, invented in the US, is worth a mention. Unifine flour is ground by an entirely different proce…

There is a good essay on the problems with trans-atlantic cookbook exchanges, focusing on flour - here. Its quite surprising to me that there is a difference. And to up the intrigue even further, here is a link that talks about the difference bet…

I've recently tried to click two of the advertisements (making a cookbook - that is actually on my list - using old recipes from my family) - but they do not go through to the advertisers web site. Might be my old operating system, but thought…

what's the matter with the searchbox?
I am still able to do a general search - e.g. desserts - brings up recipes and cookbooks. But I agree that the challenge page - the recipes of recently reviewed do not link up to the reviews.

I enjoy hearing how you use your kindle and your ipad. I'm in a very early stage of remodeling my kitchen, and am intrigued by some designs that make a place for electronic media - e.g. in an upper cupboard door. Only recently have I started …

My Fitness Pal offers the ability to enter a recipe, and it calculates calories - but either its clunky or I'm not very good at using it (or both!).

Sorry for posting an incomplete thought. I should know to not work when I'm tired! What I was wondering - is there a way to use the ingredient list to display nutrition information, including calories? If so, that might entice some of us to …

I also agree with bunyip - there are many cookbooks and cookbook authors from other regions of the world that I do not know about, but who warrant my attention. And upon thinking about it, I certainly tend to "know" about other regional c…

The most under-appreciated part of cookbooker is the ingredient tab. Even I balked at listing the ingredients.... But along with the healthy cooking challenge, I've also been trying to watch my calorie intake. There are websites for calorie…

Interesting indeed - I know nothing about any of those books! I also found the links to other cookbook author's favorite cookbook lists to be quite interesting. Thanks, Kaye. I'm going to search the library for a copy of that Nigella La…

I've decided to join Leeka and Zosia, and to start cooking from the next challenge cookbook. So many fruits and vegetables are at their peak now, I don't want to wait any longer.

Oh bunyip - I've had such a stressful day, and you made me first smile, and then laugh. I sneak cookbooks into my house, fearing what my husband might say. I've found that a reasonable hiding method is to reorganize all the bookshelves, …

@bunyip - I have neither Nigel Slater nor Yotam Ottolenghi cookbooks - and my bookshelf is already so full. I am sure I will regret starting this discussion! And @Zosia - a cookbook of Burmese cuisine - what an idea! I'll never forget the …

Those terrible fonts, font sizes, and color combinations might reflect too many youngsters as editors! My aging eyes also find many current cookbooks to be NOT USER FRIENDLY -- but maybe only if you are older than...
