Funny, I was just thinking about joining that club. I'm a bit of an adict too. I also have too many recipes that I found on the internet in a binder as thick as some of my cook books. I use the recipes frequently too. hmmmm, this does sound like an illness.

Svadhisthana :D :D

This is making me want to join again - and I just killed off my membership. I satisfied my cookbook addiction by ordering cookbooks for Christmas gifts for almost everybody on my list! I got to read through the books and then give them away. I ended up ordering a couple of the ones I gave away for myself. :p

I wanted to add that I collect antique cookbooks. One of my hobbies is converting antique recipes -- but sometimes deciding what a "fast oven" is has been a challenge.

Pastachef,

Po' Folks Cheffin

Went on bn.com, amazon.com and indigo.ca to no avail.

Do you have more information on the book, the author maybe?

:confused:


Even went on abe.com!

Thank you, Kimmie. I searched the net too. I thought it would make a great title for a cook book that has recipes that require few ingredients. Not that I have the smarts to write a cook book, but people keep telling me...DO IT! LOL! Want to hear something really crazy? A psychic friend of mine was visiting from Florida last summer. While she was here I got in the mail a whole box of sample cook books from a company that designs them. I didn't order them. She didn't order them. I got chills! I like to make things out of little or nothing. A chef was visiting me in my kitchen at work one day and saw me do something he'd never seen. His jaw dropped and he said, "Darn. Sixteen thousand dollars I spent in culinary school and you just taught me something new."

That sounds like a good plan Jeni. I've put it off for a year this summer, thinking, "Me, nah. I'm not good enough." Stranger things have happened. I'll be off work for the summer again in two weeks, so I will give it a try. Thanks for the idea. A page at a time doesn't sound so overwhelming.
