Cook the Book: 'Bi-Rite Market's Eat Good Food'

I go to the local co-op market in Cambridge, MA - Harvest Co-op. I think my favorite thing is the size and the products they put on their shelves. You are not overwhelmed with options and you can be sure that the products that they put on they decide to put on their shelves are good. The people are so nice too and being a member has it's perks - 10% off days each month and a return on what you've spent over the year.

Knead the Book: 'The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking'

A nice chewy inside - crunchy outside baguette. I've done bread making in my time, but I really haven't replicated the french baguette. Maybe it's the flour.

Cook the Book: 'The Family Meal'

I think this is one of the best things about restaurants. I've heard that the guy who delivers island creek oysters in the Boston area tries to hit up as many of these family meals on his delivery route. Hilarious. But I would imagine that it is something pretty substantial, but with more unique ingredients, like a pasta with some wonderful veggie that you wouldn't normally have in pasta. I can't think of one, but it would be tasty and unexpected!
