I just placed Solomon's Complete Asian on hold through inter-library loan at my local library. Now I need to find some zucchini recipes and visit the farmers market Friday after work.

China, Japan and Korea sound find to me but like you BethNH I wouldn't care if all the countries you listed were involved. Queezle Sister and friederike -- Thank you!

I think a general Asian Challenge is a great idea, that way we can use what ever Asian cookbooks we have and also blogs or websites that have Asian recipes. Hopefully more people would participate that way. I know how to tag a recipe with the Asian …

I like the idea of an Asian challenge as well. I've been meaning to dive into some of my Korean cookbooks but keep putting it off. We loved eating Korean food while in CA for a few years but can't find any Korean restaurants near us in NC.…

Wanted to let you all know I got my book from Andrew a couple days ago. I decided to choose Barefoot Contessa Foolproof. I've already started cooking from it and just last night made two recipes which were both great. Thanks Andrew! I finally…

BethNH, thanks so much for stepping up and helping with the challenges. I haven't seen this book to look through it but it sounds like a good one to delve into for a challenge. As for how long a challenge should last I'm up to whatever the…

Olive and Caper Results
Wow can't believe I won. I always have so much fun doing the cooking, and reviewing from the books chosen. I often cook things I wouldn't otherwise. I love that it opens me to new cuisines, ingredients and things I may have missed had I no…

Sounds like a great idea and I'd volunteer but not sure how much time I'd have between work and helping take care of my Mom. I just never know how much computer time I'll have from day to day.

Cadfael, glad you're here and do take care of yourself. Listen to your DR and do try not to worry. Cooking is great therapy so do enjoy those times you're able to be in the kitchen. Will keep positive thoughts for you.

Easter/Passover
friederike, loved the photos you shared. I had pinned those deviled egg chicks in hopes of making some for our Easter sorry to hear they didn't work out for you. Since Mom is in the residential Hospice house not sure what we're doing for E…

I started cooking from it myself a few days ago as it has to go back to the library soon unless I can renew it.

My daughter got me a copy from the library where she works last Wed. I get to keep it three weeks, so I guess I better be picking out some recipes to try.

Sounds great Andrew. I think my library has Olive and Caper so I'll be checking that one out. I love Asian Cuisine especially Korean which I fell in love with while in CA. Wish we had some Korean BBQ restaurants closer to us in NC. I have sever…

great holiday cooking gifts
I got a couple new cookbooks from my son and my daughter and son in law gave me a microplane zester, which I've wanted since she got hers. I love it as it's so much better than the cheap one I had. My Mom is doing a little better on the n…

What makes a cookbook a clunker and what do you do with them?
I have over 2000 cookbooks and just can't seem to get rid of any of them. I think I'm a borderline hoarder when it comes to cookbooks.

Thanks Andrew. I thought there was a way I could do it but when I went to edit it wouldn't let me. I realize now there are two edit buttons.

Thanks Andrew. The recipe is Pumpkin Pancakes with Cinnamon Syrup and I inadvertently switched the link and the name of the recipe. http://tastesbetterfromscratch.blogspot.com/2010/11/pumpkin-pancakes-with-cinnamon-syrup.html

Thanks QS. I usually read Serious but missed that one.

'Modernist Cuisine' authors launch free online cooking school
I thought the cooking school sounded interesting too but don't have a sous vide machine and don't know if you can do that type cooking without one either. I was hoping some of the other lessons might be more useful for the home cook.

QS, I too won a cookbook from Serious Eats. I do like that site. I've heard of Chow but haven't participated there.
