HAHA! Can't believe the response! I move in September 30th and will be waving to you guys constantly from my kitchen window :) Let me know if you want anything from Buffalo (real chicken wings, perhaps?)

Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
Usually some kind of cooked vegetable and then a ton of Greek yogurt, cereal and berries. Yum.
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
In Toronto, with my parents at the age of 6. The spice burned my mouth, but I simply ate more raita and forged through. A serious eater even then :)

Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'
Child's blueberries at the East Aurora, NY farmers' market.
Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'
Blueberry crisp. Yum.
Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
Definitely tacos al pastor w/my Mexican roommate this past spring break at her favorite local taco stand.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
Crockpot oatmeal with dried fruit, walnuts, brown sugar and real maple syrup.
What’s Your Favorite Weird Snack Combo?
Spicy brown mustard and baby carrots.
Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
Not all that funny but I can't tell you how many pieces of fish, meat or vegetable have fall into my grill. It is a very well-fed grill, I'll tell you that much.
Served: Why Not to Date Customers (One Day I Will Learn)
Good post! At this point I'm positively dying to know what restaurant you work at because a cream cheese bun with cream cheese icing sounds positively divine. Any chance you could email me? I promise not to spread the word!
Cook the Book: ''Wichcraft'
Oil-cured sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, fresh basil, and some kalmata olives, all on amazing bread.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
Thin crust pizza with mashed potatoes on it (New Haven style!)
Cook the Book: 'Ten'
I wanted hibiscus juice like I had in Mali. I found some dried hibiscus flowers online that cost about $5 and paid something like $30 in shipping for them. So worth it.
Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'
Definitely eating rice with peanut sauce from a communal bowl for every lunch while I was in Mali :)
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
I've cut way down on my consumption of poultry (really the only meat I was eating before) and have increased the number of meals I eat featuring tofu or beans.
Cook the Book: 'On the Line'
I love roasting fish, especially salmon w/Asian flavors. Yum.
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
Stuffed acorn squash, with craisins, Israeli cous cous and sauteed onions.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'American Cheeses'
And I should add that my favorite substitute for this fromage blanc is Cowgirl Creamery fromage blanc - comes pretty close.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'American Cheeses'
I used to LOVE eating fromage blanc in France. Pity I can't seem to find it anywhere here. :(
Cook the Book: 'Into the Vietnamese Kitchen'
Consume less sugar - real and artificial.
Cook the Book: Jamie at Home
Roasted root vegetables. Yum.

Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
I received The Joy of cooking as a wedding present. garrettsambo@aol.com
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
my first cookbook was one i got from school...it was with all the students favorite recipes...
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
It was a Strawberry Shortcake cookbook that had recipes for sandwiches and other easy recipes.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
it's actually kind of sad. My freshman year of college I worked at the corporate HQ of Fanny Farmer candy shops and for our Xmas bonus we all got a copy of the new Fanny Farmer cookbook ..... so my first cookbook was the Fanny Farmer cookbook.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Better Homes And Gardens, but I grew up with my mom's Betty Crocker cookbook.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was Betty Crocker's. It had all the basics and I still own it today.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
A collection of recipes that my mom made based on my observations
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was one from our church. I know, not top quality. I rarely turn to cookbooks as a new cook because of the vast information on the internet. I would enjoy having a few cookbooks in my collection, though.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My Mother in Law got me a 5 ingredient cookbook that had horrible recipes which basically combined 5 canned foods into one dish meals. Revolting.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
mom's ratty old Joy of Cooking!
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
The first cookbook that I ever received was a book of photocopied recipes my grandfather made for me of all the traditional Italian recipes that my great grandma used to make for her family. There are some wonderful recipes in there too. From homemade tortellini, to antipasto that has to sit jarred for a year before you can eat it (to let the flavors meld).
The sad bit is that I rarely use it because so many of the recipes are so labor intensive and large.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My now-husband bought me the New York Cookbook when I started college, which turned me on to so many of my favorites today!
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
When I was small, I used my mother's Betty Crocker cookbook. When I married, she gave me one of my own and I use it still, although a host of other cookbooks have joined it on the bookshelves.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was Betty Crocker's Cookbook that was a 5-ring binder.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was the Company's Coming Kids Cooking cookbook - Company's Coming is really big where I'm from (Alberta, Canada), but even when I venture to another province, no one's heard of it! I don't think I made too much from it... there was a pretty good fudgesicle recipe though :)
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My Mother gave me my first cookbook which was Betty Crocker's and I still have it today. I also gave one to my son when he moved out on his own. It's a great basic cookbook that anyone can use.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
We had the Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book growing. Plus a binder with tons of 3x5 cards neatly written by my mother and grandmother. My favorite was cooking from recipes on my mom's index cards.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
I remember looking through cookbooks, many of them, off the shelves when I was a kid. No one stands out.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
There was pretty much only one cookbook in the house growing up in my Chinese household (which my mother never cracked open) and it was the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. The first recipe I ever made was probably tuna casserole one Thanksgiving when my sisters and I decided to do as the Americans do and add to our standard hot pot feast. How things have changed!
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was the Little House on the Prairie Cookbook. I didn't cook anything out of it, but it recreated the recipes from the books I loved.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Unfortunately, I can not remember the name of the Cook Book Given. But I do know who gave it to me. My Aunt Sandra gave me the cook book for my Baby shower 24 years ago. She wished me a long and happy life. Aunt Sandra died 4 years ago..and although I cannot find the cookbook through many moves I do treasure the sentiment
