[cookinginItaly]

I just ordered:

KA cookie companion
KA baker companion
Betty crocker's baking for today

[MISSINDI]

Wow, someone's been busy!

I ordered MaryJane Butter's new (5/05) cookbook/ideabook and am off to order Rachael Ray's kids cookbook for Nicholas.

[Beth H]

am off to order Rachael Ray's kids cookbook for Nicholas.

My sister has this - when she bought it she thought it was meals for kids to eat, not necessarily for kids to make (her son is only 15 months old) - but she has really enjoyed the couple things she's made from it so far.

I wanted to post a link to this article about collecting cookbooks which is in this week's New Yorker magazine. I know many of us here on the boards will enjoy it:

Boy, can we relate to that article, or what? Thanks for the heads up on it.

Nicholas LOVES cooking and LOVES Rachael Ray just as much, so I thought it might be fun for us to go through together and pick out recipes to try. In fact, he's in charge of dinner tonight. In a new tradition in our house, DH cooks Wednesday nights, and last night, Nicholas asked if he could cook dinner tonight (more on the story on my web site). Not knowing what he was planning, I was happy to hear him request to make pizza tonight. :D

[susan_foster]

I am doing my best to not buy any new cookbooks - but I am sorely tempted by One Smart Cookie, since there has been so much raving over it. But now may be the time to build a good Christmas list with the desired books instead.

[Molli526]

I got some new ones too :)

I have Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Suppers on the way, a gift from my mom. Looking forward to it- I love all of DM's books.

[cinnabun]

I probably over did it and I still have some that I haven't received yet that was ordered over 2 months ago!

[cinnabun]

Which professional cooking book did you get? The Wayne Grisslen one?

Hey, isn't she someone who does really well on the cooking contest circuit? The name seems familiar...




Yes she is. I figured now that I will be making treats for whatnot- I may as well doctor up a brownie mix instead of making homemade, which I don't think would be as appreciated.

I will report back once I start trying the recipes.

[gabbyh]

Somebody stop me...at least my b'day was last week, so I have a tiny excuse...

[heavy hedonist]

Oops, No its not her new one! I didn't realize she had the one with GMA.
Sara's Secrets for Weeknight Meals is her new cookbook due out in October of this year.

[Kristal]

Cut the Calories with Sara Moulton

I take it this is her new cookbook

No, she has a new cookbook coming out next month, which focuses on quick weeknight dinners. Cut the Calories came out a few years ago; it was recently mentioned on the Sara Moulton thread so I thought I'd check it out (got a great deal on it!).

ETA: the new one is called Sara's Secrets for Weeknight Meals. It's already on my wish list. :cool:

[Kristal]

Looks like we were posting at the same time, Cinnabun! :)

[SueK]

I went to a new discount store in town today and picked up Vegetable Heaven (Mollie Katzen) for something like $5. Can't beat it!

[mrswaz]

I decided to order Mario Batali's new one from The Good Cook- Molto Italiano. This is a fantastic book! I will make many recipes out of it I'm certain, but it really is a great book to read! Mario's style is so endearing, and I learn so much. I am going through it a chapter at a time, because I enjoy reading the forward to each chapter, and then I have to read the little blurb about every recipe. He makes me want to cook every single recipe in his book- the way he describes them...Seriously, if you are a fan of "reading" a cookbook- this one is a must.

[MISSINDI]

Went to Borders at lunch time and snagged Sunset Annual 2004 for $3.99. Pretty happy with that. :D

[heavy hedonist]

Cinnabun, in a few days when you've had a chance to enjoy it, or otherwise, could you post a few words about F&W Annual? i was thinking about it, as someone wants to buy me a gift. I didn't get many F&W's this year, I used to subscribe but needed a break. Thanks, Mari :)

[mbrogier]

This month has been a good month for cookbooks.

First off, I think I neglected to mention last month's aquiral of Maida Heatter's Book of Great Desserts. It's an older copy but still really good.

Yesterday, I picked up Nigella Lawson's How to Be a Domestic Goddess for $10 at a Border's Outlet.

Today, I am going to Barnes and Noble to get Nigella Lawson's Feast with a gift certificate a friend sent me for my birthday this week. (Saturday) Now, the only other book I'll need of her's is How to Eat.

[cinnabun]

I think that you will like F&W 2005, I don't know when I will make something from it though. There are a lot of recipes that look really good and best of all I don't have all of those magazines sitting around and the recipes are all in one place.

[cinnabun]

Went to the bookstore to buy something else and came home with:

BH&G New cookbook "Pink edition"
BH&G New Grilling cookbook.

[Gecko]

[QUOTE=mbrogier]Yesterday, I picked up Nigella Lawson's How to Be a Domestic Goddess for $10 at a Border's Outlet. QUOTE]

Wow! Now that's a bargain. Congratulations on a great find.

[sherri]

I just got Vegetarian Suppers by Deborah Madison. So far I have made the stuffed peppers, a squash/pepper dish and a delicious, yet simple black bean and coconut rice recipe. I really like this cookbook since she focuses on simple, but fresh ingredients. I appreciate that her recipes are based on season so that I know I can buy a bunch of stuff from the farmer's market and find a recipe in that book that utilizes the ingredients.
I also got Boy Meets Grill by Bobby Flay for my DH since we finally have a grill. He has made one tasty marinade from that book so far.

[gabbyh]

Please post the black bean and coconut rice recipe when you have time...sounds delish :D

I usually try not to look at this thread as it makes me want to spend all of my money, but our local library had a book sale yesterday and here's what I got:

In Julia's Kitchen with Master Chefs - Julia Child
Baking with Julia - Julia Child

Lucky you! :) :)

[HealthyinMN]

You did awesome MrsG! Great list!

[NewMrsG]

Wow Mrs G!!! you struck gold there!

Lucky you! :) :)

I know (and HealthyinMN too - I can't figure out how to quote more than one poster) - we went right when they opened and I grabbed all of the cookbooks I could find, browsed and put back what I wanted... Terribly sneaky, but it works well!

I have Jane Brody's other cookbook - Good Food Book, but not this one, so I'm eager to plow my way through.

[mrswaz]

Well, due to the horrible influence here on the CLBB, DH got his first shipment from The Good Cook today. :D I think I will tell him they are late birthday gifts from him to me. But the magic package today contained:

Barefoot Contessa, Family Style
The Bread Bible
New York Times Chicken Cookbook
Food of India

And for referring him, I got:

King Arthur Flour's Baking Companion

I'm most excited about the Bread Bible and the KA. I really want to get good at my bread baking.

And I love shopping my library's twice a year book sales too. The cookbooks are always super cheap- something like 50 cents a piece sometimes.

Sherri,

Please post the black bean and coconut rice recipe when you have time...sounds delish

~Gail


Here you go:
Black beans with yellow rice
coconut rice
2 tsp light peanut oil
1 green bell pepper, finely diced
1 small onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1 garlic clove, minced
1 scant tsp toasted and ground cumin seeds
1/4 tsp chipotle chile powder (or in adobo sauce) or more to taste
2-15 oz cans black beans with juice
1 scant cup coconut milk
sea salt
2 limes, one juiced, cut into 4 wedges

For the rice:
Rinse 1 1/2 cups basmati rice. Bring 2 cups water and 1 scant cup coconut milk to a boil with 2 pinches of saffron and 1/2 tsp tumeric. Add the rice, and 3/4 tsp salt, cover the pan, and cook over low heat until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the pepper, onion, bayleaf and cilantro and cook, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and chipotle, then the beans and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and simmer until hot. Season with salt and add fresh lime juice to taste.
To serve, scoop the hot rice onto a plate or pasta plate. Scoot the beans around the rice and garnish with the cilantro leaves, pickled onions, if using and lime wedges.

I saw the Moosewood new classics on a friend's shelf, (she paid $24.99) and then found it, brand new, perfect condition, for $12.98. I had to have it, and it's great. I haven't even gotten past the breakfast section yet, and there is plenty to try; I've been using their basic muffin formula for about 5 years, it's very adaptable. Plus there's a recipe called Peach Oatmeal brulee that I'm dying to try. Anybody got any "must try" recommendations from this book?

[MISSINDI]

OK, Costco finally had a few new cookbooks, so, of course, I indulged:


The CIA's Gourmet Meals in Minutes

Is the Peach Oatmeal Brulee more of a creme brulee recipe or more of a baked oatmeal dish with peaches? If it is the latter, I would love the recipe if you wouldn't mind. Thanks Darla

[babydrdolittle]

I'm always on the lookout for a good low fat cookbook. Has anyone made any of the recipes from Smart Cookie?

Amanda

[heavy hedonist]

If it is the latter, I would love the recipe if you wouldn't mind. Thanks Darla


Exactamundo! Here it is:


PEACH OATS BRULEE


4 C unsweetened peach juice (such as After the Fall brand peach juice)**
2 C rolled oats (regular, not quick-cooking or instant)
1/2 -3/4 tsp. salt
1-2 Tbsp. butter
1/3-1/2 C brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the juice into a saucepan, cover & bring to a boil on high heat. Stir in oats & salt and return to a boil, stirring constantly for about a minute.
Transfer the oat mixture to a lightly oiled ovenproof 2-quart casserole dish
that's about 9x6 inches. Cover & bake for 25 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the oats are tender & golden. Remove from the oven, dot the top with butter, and evenly sprinkle on the brown sugar. Place under the broiler about 3-6 inches from the heating element and broil for 2-3 minutes, until the sugar is melted & bubbly. Serve hot, serves 4.

**variations-- try a combo of 2 C apple juice & 2 C pear juice in place of peach. Other good flavors that work well are apricot-apple & apple-raspberry juice. In a real pinch, use water instead.

I'm sure that if you have a kitchen torch, you could use it. I don't however.
Sorry i didn't see your post earlier, I was busy yesterday with my 8 year anniversary-- and today is my man's birthday!!
But-- for our special day, he bought me into the Good Cook club! So in the mail on their way to my kitchen, I have coming:

My purchases this month are:
Flavors by Donna Hay

Bake It to the Limit by Dede Wilson
A Passion for Preserves by Frederica Langeland
The Teen's Vegetarian Cookbook by Judy Krizmanic
and lastly

I also purchased The Complete Book of Preserves & Pickles but it has disappeared in the mail. Luckily I didn't pay too much for it because the person on Ebay did not offer insurance and Ebay won't cover it because it is under their limit :(

[cinnabun]

Finally received a book that was on order forever at amazon today, The supper book from Marion Cunningham.

[gaja]

The Occasional Vegetarian by Karen Lee

(

Felice, this is one of my all-time favorite cookbook! Pretty much everything I have tried from it has turned out great. I especially recommend: Garden Salad Stock, Black Bean Soup with Sherry, Middle Easter Chickpea Soup, French Lentil Salad with Goat Cheese, and the Chocolate Angel Food Cake. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do and I look forward to your reviews! :)

[Epicurious]

Home tested casseroles and slow cooker recipes

[HealthyinMN]

I did finally receive One smart cookie (ordered forever ago it seems)
