I do have her "Mediterranean Light" and it's a nice book too.

Healthy / Lo-Cal Challenge Ideas
I am borrowing the book from a friend--will have it tomorrow--and had a pleasant time poking through her recipes in the Times archives.

Healthy / Lo-Cal Challenge Ideas
I was amazed to see that there are 26 titles by Ms. Shulman listed on the site. Maybe it could be a challenge based on an author instead of on a book or blog...and I agree with Zosia--I have Heidi Swanson's book, but don't really find all…

There's also Martha Rose Schulman. She writes the "Well" recipes--healthy, often vegetarian recipe column in the NY Times. She's also written a couple of cookbooks, among them "Recipes for Health" which is taken from …

I've had Baked Explorations for ages and haven't made one recipe from it--despite marking several. So now, you have inspired me and I'm going to try a least a couple of them this week.

Here is the link to Rick Bayless' newsletter--and thru it, to the website. Los of good recipes, etc here.... https://app.e2ma.net/app/view:CampaignPublic/id:37150.12686784858/rid:4ba32a10264306b20e076a4ff22a6a04

I'd love to do Mexican and either would be great--though I do think Rick Bayless is a little more accessible, in terms of ingredients, instruction style and the photos.

It was great fun--I didn't actually get to make whole recipes but played around with preserved lemons and some of the spice combos. I loved reading the books and then everyone's reviews. I'm looking forward to the next...

I'm starting some preserved lemons now--since Wolfert's version takes 30 days...had fun reading through the two books. The first book is a little less strict about authenticity---she gives variations of certain dishes that are easier on t…

Andrew, is it possible (or will it be possible) to import one's bookshelf from Eat Your Books?

50 cents well spent. Have you used it? It took a few tries to get the hang of it but I love it.

Making Fresh Pasta
I'm back to report that I LOVE the KA attachment. It's incredible how much effort is removed from the pasta making process. All the bother of finding a place to clamp the pasta machine and keeping it clamped is gone. And having hands fr…

Question for bread bakers ...
If you have "Baking with Julia" there are several Laura Brody bread machine recipes in there as well.

Question for bread bakers ...
I think they are both great books, but The Bread Baker's Apprentice is definitely my favorite of the two. In fact, in my bread class, it was used as a text. There are some breads that are so fabulous that you'll make them again and again…

Making Fresh Pasta
I have an Atlas pasta machine--the old-fashioned hand-crank sort and I love it. I also have the kitchenaid attachment (a gift) but I haven't used it yet. Once you get the hang of it (the hand crank machine)--and find a place in your kitchen wh…

September 2011 Challenge: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
Many thanks!! I feel like I won several times over---I found several "keeper" recipes, ate some great food and won a book! How cool is that?!

September 2011 Challenge: The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
Well, I got my book the other day (my first Garten book) and made a recipe from it yesterday and loved it! So this challenge is starting off with a bang for me. I've already picked out a few more to try this week.

Sometimes Amazon is simply amazing--I have already received my copy of The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. Not a lot of really exciting recipes but some that sound quite good--particularly some of the vegetable dishes. I think this will be fun and rel…

Me too! I've never owned one of her books but have seen her a few times. I'll see about getting the first book.

Interesting, AJ. I love her baking books and have the new one but haven't really cooked from it yet.

I'd love to see another cook the book -- maybe Dorie Greenspan or Rick Bayliss--tho if people want to do cake, Dorie Greenspan's newest has lots of desserts as well as mains and so forth. And her Baking is a great book. I like the idea o…

Tips and Tricks of the Trade
I love this stuff!! If you are measuring oil and honey in a recipe, measure the oil first. Then measure the honey--it will slide right out of the oiled cup/spoon. I buy unglazed quarry tiles (bout 69 cents each)--6 make a perfect baking stone for…
