Pi day 2014
I'm having fun poking through books, looking at pie recipes. Because I'm so longing for spring (8 to 12" of snow predicted for tomorrow), I'm thinking about asparagus and eggs and ham in some sort of pastry. And I have rhubarb …

I have the volume on Portugal and Spain and the little spiral recipe book---no ISBN. I don't know if that is helpful or not.

Ottolenghi
Sounds like a fabulous visit! You;ll love the book---if Cookbooker sticks around we should do an Ottolenghi challenge.

Ottolenghi --but I bet you already thought of that...

Fingers crossed!!! And you should know I and others will be happy to help/take on some responsibilities. But QS is right--he needs to feel good about taking it on.

The roasted turnips, which shared space with other roasted root veg, were excellent. The soup was a knockout. I just posted a review of Creamy Turnip Soup and I highly recommend it.

We're doing a turnip soup and some roasted turnips---having decided that turnips are undeservedly underutilized by us--I'll let you know how it turns out. Other than that--all the standards--turkey, stuffing/dressing, cranberries, giblet …

If the server cost is roughly 300 a year, I guess we need to know how many of us there are who could/would pay a membership fee--and there are a few ads which must provide some small bit of income--tho obviously not enough to pay the bills--perhaps …

I would be happy to help -- and to pay an annual membership fee or a one time fee--whatever would work

I'm with Beth--I love this site and really hope there is some way to keep it going. I myself am not a programmer tho I would happily take on some responsibility for upkeep. I also joined EYB at the very beginning and have a lifetime membershi…

btw, thanks for pointing out that whoopie pie recipe. I found the recipe on line (posted the link) and will probably make it very soon.

I have to say of all the choices, tripe would not be mine! There are several of her cakes I'll be making -- two old favorites and one I've never tried before.

I don't want to give up on Cookbooker yet. I know that Eatyourbooks has more going on but Cookbooker is really a friendlier, more relaxed site. Obviously, Andrew is paying the bills, as the site features continue to function. Let's give…

I've posted on the Zaar buddies page on Facebook---a collection of cooks who used Recipezaar and loved it until it became part of the food network and changed. I've invited them to come and check us out--I hope some of them will...

Maybe Andrew would be willing to make a few of us administrators so we could edit/add etc.

Sounds good--Would it be possible for you to set up the group and then invite us? I think I have a Goodreads user name but I have to figure out what it is....

Perhaps we can give Andrew another nudge via e-mail--if Beth is around she has his e-mail, I think.

I'm with Queezle Sister---the challenges are fun for their own sake. But I won two books--I'd be happy to 'pay it forward.'

My book arrived today and I just spent a very pleasant hour or so going through it. Lots of great recipes -- a whole mess of which I have indexed! This will really be fun....

You guys have never steered me wrong so I've gone ahead and ordered a copy of the Solomon book as well. Perhaps we could do a China/Japan/Korea challenge now and save Southeast Asia for another time...although including all of Asia is fine wi…

So sorry for your loss, Southerncooker. I too like the idea of an Asian challenge. I have several recipes bookmarked in Every Grain of Rice and in Japanese Farm Food. It would be fun to cook from several Asian cuisines....
