I just got this book out of the library and I have been very impressed
with with it. It is the story of a writer who enrolled at the
famous CIA (Culinary Institute of America) in order to write about
the experience.
If you have any interest in how a professional kitchen operates
or just want to see how chefs are made, this is an interesting
read. Along with that, though, there are lessons that can be taken
away from this book that apply to life and work in general. |

Mario Batali's Simple Italian Food : Recipes from My Two Villages
by Mario Batali, Mark Ferri (Photographer)
While the recipes in the book are a little more complicated
and "fru-fru" than Mario's television show, Molto
Mario, you will find many good meals for yourself and your family.

Best of Craig Claiborne: 1,000 Recipes from His New York Times
Food Columns and Four of His Classic Cookbooks
by Craig Claiborne, Pierre Franey, Joan Whitman (Editor), Prudhomme.
paul, Pierce Franey
This book was a rarity for me...a cookbook that contains recipes
I would actually want to make. I found nearly 25 recipes to ad
to my repertoire, several of which I have already made for my
family. An excellent, general purpose cookbook to have on hand.
