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.

Culinary opportunities in the Berlin area?
Good idea! I've also discovered that there are Christmas markets featuring local foods, and found some berlin food blogs with some good suggestions.

Holiday Challenge 2011: The Pie and Pastry Bible
Beth - did you check your library? I, too, cannot always afford to purchase the challenge books, but have found that the title is usually among the collection owned by my local library. I am lucky, though, that my "local" includes a city…

Holiday Challenge 2011: The Pie and Pastry Bible
Leeka - I, too, am afraid of pastry, and thought I'd not participate in this challenge. That was until I got my hands on my library's copy. The instructions are amazing, and the detailed explanation for why each step is important is inte…

September 2011 Challenge: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
Dear Southerncooker - I add my sympathy - what a difficult time it must be. Be strong and don't forget to also take care of yourself.

This will be fun! I think I'll have to carry the book with me everywhere- its so big it will give me a bit of exercise to make up for all the delicious pastry that I want to prepare!

How do you organize your cookbooks?
I rather like the way libraries organize their cookbooks. I can go on line, look at a large collection, and place a hold on any of them. Then, those wonderful librarians put the book on a special shelf, and email me to say its ready. When I…

I noticed the review, floating on the front page and not attributed to anyone. An odd problem.

We make home-made pizza once a week, and I'd love to be stretched (haha) to try different types. We get stuck in a pesto-caramelized onion-goat cheese rut (but its a delicious rut!). We've talked about lots of different challenges, and I…

How do you start a cookbook club?
I agree, Leeka. I am going to try to persuade my local friends to do this.

How do you start a cookbook club?
This is such a great idea! I'd never heard of it, and last night, laying in bed reading cookbooks, I was regretting not reading novels and not being in a bookclub. Is anyone out there in a cookbook book club?

How do you start a cookbook club?
This is a great idea - it would be fun to have the cookbook club meetings be a potluck featuring recipes from that cookbook under discussion. But I'm not sure how you would start - maybe post some ads in local specialty food/cookware stores an…

Great, SC. I read the wikipedia entry, too. She states that cooking is all about enhancing the ingredients - I rather like that philosophy - rather than using ingredients to make something different. I have the book on hold at the library, and lo…

Maybe I'll sneak a peek at her videos at work, if you promise not to tell anyone. Thanks for the information - do you like her recipes?

It would be interesting to me to see what the fuss is about - her books are owned by many cookbookers, and those who like her are effusive! Thanks for clarifying, AJ, I'm blessed to live in a house with no cable!

Is Ina Garten on TV? I'd never heard of her before joining this forum a year ago or so. She certainly seems popular, judging by how many cookbookers own her books.

New Challenge: Summer Grilling
Thanks Andrew and Southern Cooker. We really enjoyed exploring new types of grilled food this summer, and reading about the explorations of others. Our grill is now about work out (a cheap gas grill, intended for 2 yrs use when we bought it 12 yea…

If you browse your own reviews, you can edit, but not if you are in the whole-page view of the review.

No text reviews cannot be updated! I think I know a work-around, but I just accidentally entered a review with no text, just a star rating. I cannot see the menu items that would allow me to edit it (and add words). I'm always so disappointed…

Search engines and recipes - NYT article
It was the gazpacho that made me do it. I have lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, etc, and I wanted to make gazpacho last night. Instead I spent an hour looking through my cookbooks for recipes. I've half loaded my bookshelf, and can already see t…

After a frustrating hour last night, searching through my cookbooks for a gazpacho recipe, I opened an EAT YOUR BOOKS account. Wow! This will be a powerful tool to use along with cookbooker. I'm excited!

I'm hoping that Andrew can get publisher support. I love the challenges, and it would be great if cookbooker didn't have to spring for the prizes. I, too, am anxious. Looks like I'll be buying a new cookbook, and I might even get…

Every once in a while, I happen across a recipe with really high numbers of useful votes. If they were recipes listed a long time ago, it can be hard to find them. I was wondering if it was possible to be able to browse the most useful?
