Cook the Book: The Southern Italian Table

Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'
ooh, I'm not the baker in my house. Quickbreads count? oatmeal muffins
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
"tofu scramble" with tempeh "bacon"
Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
The first time I tasted dark chocolate with crystallized ginger. I had never heard of nor thought of the combination before, and now it is probably my favorite way to have chocolate.
Cook the Book: 'Osteria'
Chili - my current favorite is "white chili" which is really kind of mildly spicy white bean and chicken stew.
Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'
Not a baker, either. I searched for a vegan version of Lussekatter - saffron cakes for St. Lucy's Day - finding none I sent an email to a vegan baking website in Sweden, and received a prompt and kind response - in English that was not so much "broken" as laconic, and with unfamiliar metric measures. I thought the conversions should be straightforward enough, but something somewhere went terribly wrong. The cakes came out with the consistency of wet sand, yellow as French's mustard and so redolent with saffron as to evoke gagging.
Cook the Book: 'Into the Vietnamese Kitchen'
To follow my diabetic diet.
Cook the Book: 'The Bon Appétit Fast Easy Fresh Cookbook'
Depends on the time of year, but often, curry!
Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything, Revised Tenth Anniversary Edition'
His instructions for cooking eggs in the shell are foolproof - and for some reason that's something I can never remember on my own, I have to look it up every time. How to Cook Everything is the single indispensable cookbook in our collection. For a while we had loaned our copy out and were frequently at a loss until we got it back. I hope I win the second edition so I can give my copy of the first away!
Cook the Book: 'Baked, New Frontiers in Baking'

Cook the Book: 'The Cook's Country Cookbook'
potato casserole (frozen hash browns drowned in a blend sour cream and cheese, topped with cornflakes+ lots of butter)
Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'
I tried to make a vegan version of lussekatter from a recipe sent to me from a vegan baker in Sweden. Something went wrong in the translation of the instructions or metric conversion, because they ended up dense as rocks and with an overpowering saffron flavor.
Cook the Book: 'Olives and Oranges'
salt & vinegar potato chips
Cook the Book: 'The Best Barbecue on Earth'
US - specifically NC for pulled pork shoulder with slaw & hushpuppies.
