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.

Healthy / Lo-Cal Challenge Ideas
I've several recipes that I've been saving for this challenge - I hope it will still be a go. Not that I have time to cook, mind you, but the challenges are always a big motivation for me. How are YOUR gardens/CSA boxes? Early fall is s…

I have really enjoyed reading all your stories! I felt so lucky to just stumble upon FLOUR (its right next to MIT, for any of you taking high school kids on the college visit circuit). I typically use YELP to lead me to excellent restaurants, but…

I am glad this was delayed a bit - I, too, have been busy. But I've been collecting her recipes and am looking forward to trying them.

I realized today that I have also eaten at Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream shop in Columbus, OH. At the time her book had not been released. The lines were looooong, but the wait was oh so worth it. I would buy the book if I owned an ice cream mak…

Happy Birthday today! I might prepare one of her cocktails... and am envious of your various menus. I, too, look forward to hearing all about it. Bon Appétit!

Kaye16 - I also borrowed this from the library - have not yet cooked anything from it but agree its a spectacular cookbook. The index is particularly well done. I've been to busy to cook (gasp), and now am on vacation - but I look forward to …

How do you start a cookbook club?
Although I had misgivings about selecting this book for our cookbook club, it worked really well. How do my friends find recipes that I've never noticed? I've reviewed all the recipes, including those prepared by my friends, and tagged w…

I've now also looked at the library's copy of Shulman's "The Very Best Of Recipes for Health: 250 Recipes and More...". Its a beautiful book, one I would certainly use and want for my library. As @Zosia said, there are veg…

I just put a hold on two of her titles - it will be interesting to take a look. The reviews on Amazon were pretty good. Have you taken a look yet, Zosia? Kateq - thanks for pointing out this author. I do enjoy her NYT published recipes. Kateq- …

Another candidate for a "healthy" cookbook that I think might have broad appeal is the one by Martha Rose Shulman, "The Very Best Of Recipes for Health: 250 Recipes and More from the Popular Feature on NYTimes.com". I have not s…

My mother went to two job lot stores in RI and didn't find it -- although she did see a lot of cookbooks. What are your tricks for finding GOOD cookbooks where there are piles of inexpensive ones?

How do you start a cookbook club?
My cookbook friends all want cookbooks with color photographs, so that ruled out several of my choices. This isn't a perfect cookbook, but the titles intrigued my friends, AND there are lots of library copies. The library copies make it much …

How do you start a cookbook club?
We have had two more cookbook club meetings. The May meeting was "Recipes for an Arabian night", and we had lovely, but less complex mid-east food than in we'd used one of Paula Wolfert's cookbooks. For June, we used an amazing…

Thanks Beth - I will tell my mother - who lives near a job lot - who doesn't like early christmas shopping?

Zosia - you have so much energy! Between the heat and feeble attempts to slim down, I'm not doing as much cooking as usual. I will get back to it!

Wester, I agree that many fats have been wrongly vilified, and that probably sugar (and especially high fructose corn syrup) are much much worse that many fats. Do you have an idea for a healthy cookbook (not focused on low fat, but perhaps on use o…

"The food you crave" is already on the bookshelves of 39 cookbookers. I'd not heard of Ellie Krieger - but she does have a nice looking website. I own Super Natural Everyday, and love it. I've also been intrigued by the title &…

This is a good question. And I'm with you on no processed foods or fad diets. And Zosia had it right when she commented on how healthy the recipes were! I have the America's Test Kitchen healthy food book, its pretty good but not nearl…

I looked over my cookbooks, and selected Mitsitam Cafe. Its from the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian - lavishly illustrated with food AND native american artifacts. There is a strong overlap with Mexican cooking, and so it looks interest…

Newest Challenge - Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen: Capturing the Vibrant...
Hmmm, I wonder if a low-cal cookbook might be a popular challenge? I call it my "cookbooker 15", but probably that's unfair.

Newest Challenge - Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen: Capturing the Vibrant...
I am thrilled to have you on board. I find it much easier to decide what to prepare if I limit myself to one or two cookbooks. It will be a lot of fun to have you with me. I am afraid I am accumulating new cookbooks faster than I am working my wa…

Congratulations to the winners. I certainly feel as if we all won - this is a really interesting cookbook, I have learned much about Mexican cuisine, and I hope to try a few more recipes before I need to return it to the library. While Andrew is o…

Beth - I remember trying to cook Mexican food in Rhode Island, and the great frustration I experienced trying to find ingredients. ~X( So sorry!

This has been a great challenge! I have loved reading everyone's reviews. I have learned so much about Mexican food - yet feel that I am still just starting. Perhaps best of all, this challenge led me to explore Rancho Market, a local chain …

Searching My Cookbooks
I think the plan is that eventually this site will have all those features. As its set up now, you could add the titles and even the ingredients for all your recipes - then I believe you'd be able to search.

Our May selection is "recipes for an Arabian night" - it has a great assortment of middle eastern recipes, and I think it will nicely complement the things we learned from the Foods of Morocco challenge. I selected soup course, and expect…

It looks like you are not alone, Andrew, as I cannot find Modernist Cuisine even registered on this site. I do love Super Natural Every Day, and was happy to see Heidi win this award. As I looked back over the winners, I was interested in the radio…

I've grown tomatillos a couple times. Either I get lots or I get none. I have new appreciation for tomatillos with this challenge - previously I only used them in an LA times pork chili recipe and on goat cheese pizza. Unfortunately I won…
