Why are cookie cutters so expensive? I've been looking on line seeing if there are any better deals than the local place in Bozeman so far there are not. I want a double heart for Valentines day to make cakes for two w/. Yes I am already thinking about what to bake for that day.
It's funny that all of a sudden I realized I am content at the moment w/ my odd little life here.
So anyways, not sure how many out there that read are rapid cookbook collectors such as my self. Cookbooks I can read tend to be my favorites, nothing like spending an hour or two reading a cookbook. But anyways I'm always looking for another terrific cookbook that I can love. If you so desire post your fav cookbooks.
Mine are right now:
1. How to be a Domestic Goddess by Nigella Lawson. EVerything I make out of this is superb.
2. Please to the Table. Anya Bremien (?) I bought my russian cookbook at Sam Weller's in Salt Lake I love it so, great recipes from the whole of the country and commentary.
3. New Food of Life. Najmeih Batmanglij. Persian cooking at it's best. Stories, cultural info, and gorgeous pictures
4. Fanny Farmer. This is my go to book. Need to know how to can for the first time Fanny is your gal.
5. Joy of Cooking. The old one Mom has suck, the revamped revised editions rock.
6. Feast. Nigella Lawson. This is a newly acquired favorite. The chocolate Guinness Cake is to die for.
7.The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: New Classics. Another new fav. So much I want to try and the pumpkin bread puddings are so cute.
8. Delicious, Donna Hay, & Savuer. Are not cookbooks (magazines) but I love all three for different reason. the first two are Australian and pricey but I buy them every chance I get.
9. My own collection of favorites. I have two of them now. *giggles*
10. Mom's collection. Tried and true along w/ all the old family recipes. Great Grandma Van's bread is to die for, a very comforting white sandwich loaf.
