I saw that final list too. It's better than the long list but still odd. I've definitely seen better lists.

Epicurious Cookbook Canon
I've seen plenty of these lists before and I don't think this one is particularly good. I also have 75% of the vegetarian ones, 33% of the all purpose ones, and a handful of the others. That being said, no one needs to have Modernist C…

Saddest cookbooks ever
Those are great. We have a friend who insists that eating a bland diet is the way to maintain weight and health.

Fake cigar
They sell chocolate cigars in boxes that look just like cigar boxes. I got some for my husband with our first son. Best wishes with your new baby. http://smile.amazon.com/GODIVA-Chocolatier-Milk-Chocolate-Cigars/dp/B003FLKBRI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&a…

Best-of-the-year cookbook lists for 2014
We've strayed pretty far from the original post but I wanted to chime in to say that I used a good mix of online and cookbook recipes. I tend to use my cookbooks more than online sources because I find them more dependable. Our Christmas Eve …

Thank you for taking care of all that spam, Andrew.

What makes a cookbook a clunker and what do you do with them?
I have more shelf space than I'll ever need as we had built in book cases put in while I was homeschooling. I really need to go through those book and get rid of most of them. I have a few cookbooks I'll never use. Most of these are Foo…

How do you sort your cookbooks?
I have some lovely book cases that house my cookbooks. Every once in a while I attempt to organize them. The top shelves are not as tall as the rest so they house the shorter and lesser used books. The other shelves are organized sort of by vague…

Best cookbooks of 2013
I feel better knowing someone else had a brown ceramic sink. Who thinks of these things?!? Our house was built in the 1980's - how about yours?

Best cookbooks of 2013
We did a very low budget, unfancy kitchen renovation a few years ago. We replaced a brown ceramic kitchen sink - seriously who would have thought that was a good idea? We also replaced our broken oven with two ovens. Our space for oven/ovens was …

The Future of Cookbooker
I am very, very sad to say that my husband feels that taking on Cookbooker is a bigger challenge than he is up for. He feels that he could need to devote too many hours to understanding the code and that it would be better not to start at all than …

The Future of Cookbooker
My husband said he will make a decision tomorrow after looking at the code more closely. I'm hoping he agrees to take it on but would hate for him to do so if it's not something he can commit to.

Andrew, Did you not receive my email? I thought you were going to send my husband some code to see if he could tackle it. I will send you another email right this instant.

Andrew, that's a great idea. I will send you a personal email with my husband's email.

Friederike, I didn't want to step on your toes so if you'd prefer to take things over please let me know. Otherwise my husband will try to look at some of the code this weekend to see if it's something he's willing to tackle. I…

I think that going forward we do need to consider raising some funds so cookbooker can pay it's bills.

The Future of Cookbooker
My husband is a computer programmer and has said that he would be happy to take over the programming responsibilities. Then the rest of us could share the other jobs.

Andrew, I am so glad you stopped in to give us your thoughts on the future of Cookbooker. I hope we can get some good conversation going here amongst the active cookbooker crew. I will address your suggestions as you brought them up. 1. Not reall…

New Challenge for November, 2013?
Because of my son's surgery our life has been really crazy with lots and lots of appointments. I just haven't had the energy to really dig through Solomon's book as I find it hard to just choose a recipe from it. Even if we can'…

kateq, I should have checked the King Arthur website. They have great recipes. The recipe linked is just a bit different - different combo of spices, mix of butter and oil instead of all oil, and the addition of the "special King Arthur ingre…

Well, I just added one review for pumpkin whoopie pies - just the thing for a fall day. Has anyone besides me contacted Andrew? I can try again but I'd like to know if anyone else has had success.

I'm sorry folks - I'm guilty too. I've emailed Andrew a few times and have not even heard back from him. I guess that his lack of interest spread to me. Things are looking up for us now that my son is starting to recover from surge…

Comfort Food
We're big on comfort food. In a house with three athletic teen boys we don't worry too much about calories. They love a nice mac and cheese for dinner. In the colder months, I'll often make a roast chicken with mashed potatoes and …

There is not a FB page for cookbooker but it would be great if someone wanted to start one. Truth be told, however, I'm not sure how much publicity we should do if we can't get Andrew back here or if we can't get him to turn over som…
