| 2. Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously | 
|
By: Julie Powell
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company
July 01, 2009
The movie looks charming and I am looking forward to seeing it. The book is written by a very unlikable snobbish whiny young woman who turned my stomach early on in the book with her attempt at wit. I recently read The School of Essential Ingredients, which is a lovely book about cooking and the magic of a well made meal. I thought this book would have the same charm, but it did not. The only palatable... more

| 3. Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book |

If this is the deal breaker for you, before you buy this book, check your markets to see if they sell pasteurized eggs such as Davidson's or another brand. IF you are concerned about this factor and IF you've found safe eggs, THEN buy this book. If you can't be bothered, then move on... more

| 4. SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life |
|
By: Steven G. Pratt, Kathy Matthews
Publisher: Harper
December 26, 2006
OK, so I'm kind of a health nerd. I admit it. I like the science in this book. I like hearing about the chemicals in the foods and what they do in your body. Maybe that's not for everyone, but I really appreciated it.
When I first read it, I turned it into a game. How many Superfoods (and foods in the related "family") can I eat in a day? It made the "diet" fun, and I certainly did... more

|
By: BH&G Editors
Publisher: Bantam
November 03, 1997
This is my fav cookbook. Actually this is the second one I've had. I used the first one so much it had stains everywhere (from my "learning" cooking days) and it started to fall apart. This makes a wonderful wedding shower gift in a basket with a few cake/pie pans or other baking necessities... more
