joethefoodie Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Since we're here (for a little while longer), and since I like cookbooks as souvenirs from our travels, and since I've bought cookbooks in French and in Italian in the past and found them a pain in the ass to actually use, and since I figured a cookbook in Basque would be even more annoying to use: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I was re-reading the original Nose to Tail by Fergus Henderson this week, partly because he’s mentioned in the terrific memoir in my signature. Not only do the recipes work, but the writing is hilarious. Simon Hopkinson with a very mischievous twist. Ingredients misbehaving. A classic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Recently purchased "The SAS World-Wide Restaurant Cookbook." Published in 1960 when the Scandinavian Airlines Systems was considered one of the world's great carriers, this book re-prints famous recipes from the world's finest restaurants during that time period. Thirty-five plus countries and 60 plus cities are represented - the entire flight plan of SAS at the time. It was purchased for $4 at the online thrift shop and it is one of the top cookbooks ever written and published IMO - will be cooking from this for years. Urge everyone to pick up a copy - not just for the recipes but for the intriguing narrative and reviews as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I was Jonesing for William Lediuiel's Bouillons but couldn't rationalize paying €35 for a handful of recipes on which all the rest of the book was based. Googled to find that someone had done the cherry-picking for me. https://www.vanityfair.fr/savoir-vivre/diaporama/le-bouillon-en-10-recettes-par-william-ledeuil/23732 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Googled to find that someone had done the cherry-picking for me. https://www.vanityfair.fr/savoir-vivre/diaporama/le-bouillon-en-10-recettes-par-william-ledeuil/23732 For some reason, I'm having trouble reading this. On the other hand, I started leafing though a bunch of my (already purchased) cookbooks, the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean stuff I have - and there's plenty of them. Reason - well, I want to be inspired and cook more of this stuff over the ensuing warmer months. More grains, more room temp foods, etc. etc. You know, the healthy stuff. Anyway, I pull a few books off the shelf, including The Complete Middle East Cookbook, by someone named Tess Mallos. I don't recall when or where I bought it, but it was bought used and stuck on a shelf, and may not have even been opened by me in the past however many years. It's about the food of the 19 countries listed below: Greece Cypus Turkey Armenia Syria Lebanon Jordan Iraq Bahrain Kuwait Saudi Arabia UAE Qatar Oman Yemen Egypt Iran Afghanistan Isn't there a country (or two, perhaps) missing from this list?

voyager Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I hear you but you're young, I already have some 35 running feet of cookbooks, a d-i-l who doesn't cook and a son who is interested but has no time. So I cherry pick some recipes of current interest, print them out including photos and binder them. I try to test them in real time and toss those that don't male the cut. Just trying to cut down on the eventual "big garage sale". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Behemoth Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I sold a copy of Plenty at our neighbourhood flea market but then found a copy of Jerusalem in the paper recycling. Basically net cookbooks flat but 8 Euro richer. Now what should I cook? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I've loved everything I've made from that book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 My copies of Sababa and Shuk arrived yesterday. Looking forward to using them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Canal House's Cook Something. I really like their recipes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Behemoth Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I don't know if I need to own Meredith Erickson's Alpine Cooking, but I'm glad someone wrote it. Given Joe Beef was her last cookbook, I wonder if knödel are going to the the next big thing. Anyway, I knew a lot of the Italian and Austrian places mentioned in the book, and they are pretty great. Missing a fact checker though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
