StephanieL Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Purchased at a secondhand book store: Kenyan Cookery Book and Household Guide. This is a 1970 edition of a book first published in 1928, by the Members of St. Andrew's Church Woman's Guild, Nairobi. Hence, the recipe for homemade haggis, always what one wants to eat in East Africa. There are also handy household tips, such as how to clean and cure poultry feathers and how to treat bites from the Nairobi Fly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lippy Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Ranitidine caught the Rome disease during our last trip. I think I need these. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I just got Katie Perla, too! I predict it will be a long time before I cook anything out of it, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Most of the recipes, being Roman, are pretty simple. There's nice background info, and the pics are good too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suzanne F Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 FYI: J. Kenji López-Alt's book The Food Lab just won both its category (American) and Book of the Year at IACP. Not bad for an MIT architect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I was actually quite disappointed in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I did just order spritz as well as the book by the St John Baker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Most of the recipes, being Roman, are pretty simple. That was my hope/excuse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I don't think so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I did just order spritz as well as the book by the St John Baker.I was going to ask bonner where he bought the second one but there are reasonably priced copies on amazon now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 And that would be where I go it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suzanne F Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I don't think so. Not even at 30% off (today only, per the Phaidon website)? If you did want an art studio related book, Cooking for Artists by Mina Stone is well within your skill set, and it's really quite a lovely book. It's out of Urs Fischer's studio in Brooklyn. (Disclaimer: I copyedited this one. But as always, I have no financial interest in it. I just think it's a good cookbook.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I dropped off a bunch of stuff at Housing Works in Park Slope yesterday. Naturally, I wandered over to look at books (and old cocktail glasses, if any). This was a steal at $8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
