We’ve reviewed lots of cookbooks. Here are the recipes we’ve made from the ones we have liked the best. Ready, get set, cook!
Trying to resist the scent is senseless. We have five senses. Some people say six. But, for the sake of this post, let’s just agree on five. When it comes to food they’re all pretty important. Obviously, taste is a BIG number one. After that smell, sight, sound and touch fall into line. I’ll let [...]

There’s more to great food than just a recipe. Where does a recipe come from? At first blush, it seems like a simple question to answer. You have a basic idea of what you would like to make. You add some things to it and take some things away. You experiment with cooking times and [...]

“People who come back from heaven all say the same thing… Try the gumbo”. Gumbo. Just say the word and watch me start to drool. Everybody has his or her favorite. And, I’m sure there are as many variations as you would care to count. But, there’s only one that could get me to [...]

There is nothing wrong with simple AND delicious. The community cookbook. All of us have somewhere between two and two hundred of those plastic ring bound gems in our cookbook collections. They’re all little different. But, at the same time they’re all a little similar. The Three Rivers Cookbook I fits the mold perfectly. [...]

The difference between dull and dazzling can be a pretty fine line. I’ve published my own book. It’s hard. There’s a BIG difference between something being “not easy” and something being “hard”. Self publishing is the latter. The book I published wasn’t a cookbook. It wasn’t a tell all novel or a how to [...]

I had always assumed that Chinese cooking was beyond difficult. It’s not. It seems like every city and town, whether large or small has a Chinese carryout restaurant. Even if there is no sizable Asian population. Americans love their Chinese carryout. And, I’m no exception. When I lived in Chicago I had my favorite, [...]

It’s easy to make and soooo good. I never could understand people who didn’t like lamb. Let me restate. I never could understand carnivores that didn’t like lamb. If you pursue a vegan lifestyle, then I completely get it. But, for those of us who occasionally indulge in a piece of red meat, lamb is [...]

Sometime it’s hard to distinguish between the comfort and the food. Comfort food is, well, comforting. No big surprise there. But, is it really the food itself or the memories that come rushing back when we eat it? And, does it really matter? I know when I take that first forkful of pot roast [...]
