Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'

Oh my, let's see. Of course all the parts of Serious Eats, Noble Pig and Simply Recipes. There are some for the humor and recipes, P Dub, and some for the photography and recipes, 101 Cookbooks. There are more that I peruse occasionally. Thanks to all of them for adding to my cooking expertise.

Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table

Spaghetti with olive oil, in which you have sauteed finely chopped garlic, chopped Italian (flat) parsley and topped with toasted pine nuts. Perhaps an addition of finely diced plum tomato. Yummmm!

Dinner Tonight: Enchiladas Especiales Tacuba Style

Made these Enchiladas this weekend, with one difference.What we had in our pantry were some Ancho chiles, the dried version of Poblanos. I soaked them for 12 minutes in the milk that was heating for the cheese sauce. The rest of the recipe was followed exactly and came out of the looking very good. The sauce was excellent, a darker shade of green though because of the dried chiles.
Excellent enchiladas and we will be having these again for sure! Thank you Nick for this very good Rick Bayless recipe.

Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer

My first experience with any sort of curry had to have been as an adult when I was doing my own cooking. My Family was pretty much 1950's American food. I think I did a dinner with some curried shrimp and a curried potato cauliflower dish. I have since fallen totally for any type of curries, Indian, Thai or Western Asian, and I would love to expand on what I now prepare.

Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking, Vol. 1'

Tomatoes, warm from the garden, and cucumbers all diced up in their own juice, with maybe a splash of rice vinegar, and some freshly ground pepper. Makes a good and easy summer salad.

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

Before I will ever be able to bake an actual pie, I will first need to be able to prepare a decent pie crust. At this stage of my life it is a foregone conclusion that all of my pies will be crisps or cobblers. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, because I do do them well.

Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'

no tapas experience but this book could quite possibly change all that. I do love all things Spanish.

Cook the Book: Perfect Burger

A Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes by Bobby Flay will make the griller in my family very, very happy! mmmmmm mmmm!

Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'

Ground pork sweetened a little with maple syrup and spiced up with some jerk seasoning. Served with some applewood smoked bacon and smoked cheddar cheese. A green apple slaw on the top, or on the side. Is delicious!

Cook the Book: Chilaquiles Verdes

Everyday a very good nostalgic recipe from L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook and today another. I look forward to every recipe from this cookbook!

Cook the Book: Magee's Roast Turkey, Parsley Potatoes, and Stewed Zucchini

mmmm, Being summer and all I must get myself going early and prepare this for an early Sunday Dinner. This all sounds so very good!

Cook the Book: Rhubarb Cream Cheese Pie with Fresh Strawberries

Absolutely love rhubarb; pie, with or without strawberries, compote with ginger over vanilla ice cream, fruit bars, crisps with oatmeal crisp topping, just about any way that it can be prepared. Did not know it was actually a vegetable but did know that the leaves are toxic. Eleven pounds; don't think I could consume that many! :)

Cook the Book: 'Serious Barbecue' by Adam Perry Lang

My husband does our grilling and does an excellent job of it, too. His greatest achievement has got to be grilling poultry. Not burnt on the outside and still very hot (done) and juicy on the inside. He will not grill skinless chicken at all.

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'

sometimes a great craving for tacos comes over me and am always trying different combos. what an addition to our cookbook collection this would be.

Cook the Book: ''Wichcraft'

A favorite of mine is sliced turkey, canned whole Ortega Chiles and shredded cheddar mixed with a little mayo and dry mustard. Broiled just until the cheese begins to melt. Yum!

Mine would be Baked Ziti With A Mornay Sauce, Spicy Italian Sausage and Fresh Fennel. True Italian comfort food!
