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.

White Asparagus
Alas, my dear husband cooked up the white asparagus before me. He wrapped it in proscuitto and grilled. A bit tough, and really tasted like the prosciutto, not asparagus. A

April/May 2011 Challenge: Smitten Kitchen
Is it a problem if a recipe has the wrong name? I just reviewed the orangette recipe. The first reviewer used the title "chocolate orange peel" (which describes the result), but at SK, Deb called these "orangette". I do not s…

Yes, I did find I could delete my review. But that one I deleted - I had put the URL where the name goes, and the name where the URL goes, and its listed still as an indexed recipe. Sorry!

April/May 2011 Challenge: Smitten Kitchen
I goofed! I was having trouble with my internet connection, and thought I had lost my review for arroz con leche, so I re-entered it. Andrew, can you please delete the review that does not have the picture? Am I capable of doing that? Thanks, QS/LL

April/May 2011 Challenge: Smitten Kitchen
I'm very pleased about this new challenge, too. And Andrew, very creative on the prizes! I'm pretty much in love with the SK site, and finding Deb's hidden link to pictures of her adorable son even turns it into a treasure hunt. Tha…

I agree that we all need to help boost the number of cookbookers. If it fits, I will comment on TheKitchn to talk up cookbooker, but I don't know if that helps. Andrew, what do think we could do to help spread the word about cookbooker? LL/…

Its been 2 months since I posted my personal challenge - to focus on specific cookbooks in my collection, and cook enough to fell I understand them. Once I understand and have an opinion about a cookbook, I then write up a cookbook review. My goal…

For me, I sign in all the time, so its not an issue. I guess one way to look at is -- is there a downside if passwords are remembered? I'm no expert on internet security, so I just don't know.

Substitutions
I buy soy milk that I substitute for milk regularly. My soy milk isn't sweet but its much thicker than skim milk. Maybe its the thickness of whole milk?

Greetings, @Cadfael - I'm so glad to have your interest. So far, what I'm doing is to cook enough recipes to feel comfortable with reviewing my cookbook, then moving to a second book. @Peckish_sister has joined in, and we found a couple …

Great Cookbook & Cake Posters
I think I once owned that Betty Crocker Junior Cookbook, I wonder what ever happened to it! There is something sweet about those old cookbooks.

I love the idea of using a website/blog - my daughter was just telling me to suggest that same idea this morning. Continuing with vegetarian is also great.

Getting to know Moosewood again (even if, for my part, it was mostly through other people's reviews) was very fun. I'll be excited to learn about the next challenge. There are so many excellent cookbooks!

How do you rate recipes?
I agree, @bhnyc. Tonight I made collard greens, which I thought I hated, but this recipe was great. Definitely the best collard greens I ever had. Does that mean 5 stars? I probably would still like other vegetables more...

I'd love to join you on this, PS. That used to be my favorite book - before The Savory Way bumped down. I have some favorites I'd love to revisit, and then review here. I don't know the second book - I'll look into it and see …

As a scientist, I embrace a scientific perspective - it cannot help but make us better cooks. I guess that for me, when the approach comes to transforming one food item into something else its crossed some sort of line. I sure hope my library gets…

This book sounds so interesting. Don't remember where I first heard about it, but I loved this morning's coverage on NPR. http://www.npr.org/2011/03/12/134456683/science-nerds-meet-foodies-in-modernist-cuisine I'm tempted. I'…

Hi Andrew, Some of the books on my bookshelf were borrowed from the library. I sometimes think about deleting the book from my shelf (as I've now returned them to the library), but I do not want to lose my reviews. What do you suggest? Will…

Three recipe reviews of mine were listed as from the 1992 edition, when they were from the 1977 edition - I guess not such a problem, as I guess these two editions are pretty much the same (??). If you want to know, the titles are: Creamy Cabbage S…

Speaking of accidents - I'm pretty sure that some of my early Moosewood reviews are listed under the newer edition, when actually back then, I only had the old one. sorry - can I fix it?

I really like the "save", which I use when looking at other people's reviews. For me, I know if a recipe is a fave or a to-cook, and just having that list as inspiration is great. In fact, I really love everything about cookbooker!

I enter the recipe and then click "index only". Then I can find it as a listed recipe with no actual reviews. My problem is moving on to a different cookbook. I'm so in love with The Savory Way that I have not been able to stick wi…

It will be interesting when Andrew weighs in on this topic. I like to monitor my reviews/useful ratio - as I want my effort to actually be useful. There are definitely times that I get no useful votes, like most of this past week! I always enjoy …

So glad to have you join me, PS. Its easier to do this personal challenge in between the official cookbooker challenges. My motivation is to know my cookbooks better (and round out COOKBOOKER's reviews), and so I am focusing on dusting off an…

Update on my personal cookbooker challenge. I now think that 3 recipes (from each cookbook) is too few. At 3, I'm just getting to know my cookbook (again), and curious about whether the sampling is representative. I'm now going for at l…

I agree, BethNH. I've been trying to discern a pattern, but to no avail. It would be great if when we "browse recipes", they were organized by date.
