Oh, man. To die for. I'm also reading How to Roast a Lamb and while I love the text and we were quite fond of the salad I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, it's just not as practical. I flipped through at lunch time, looking for something we could try. The one I liked best still involved mixing up a separate recipe to mix into the main recipe and there's one ingredient we can't get at all. The replacement, ricotta salita(sp?), he said can be ordered frozen from Italy and "supermarket ricotta simply won't do". Geez, scratch that unless we plan to cook it in a week or two, then. Confessions of a closet master baker has been tempting me.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-39290430659183579672009-11-24T13:49:44.481-06:002009-11-24T13:49:44.481-06:00It sounds pretty good, the pork chop recipe looks ...It sounds pretty good, the pork chop recipe looks delicious.

We've had both those problems. We get ...Andi,<br /><br />We've had both those problems. We get in a rut and then we either try something new and it's just awful or we end up getting so sick of the same old thing that we start eating out more. This cookbook has been very good for us. We're eating at home more, just because we've got good things to cook.<br /><br />Les,<br /><br />Me, either! Remember my last cookbook review? I thought the quiche was good but I jumped all over the book because there wasn't much else that I liked and it had no photos. I guess I learned that the recipes are what truly counts.<br /><br />It isn't available in stores because it's self-pubbed. I would love to see a major publisher pick this one up. It's so good -- both the nutrition advice and the recipes. That's pretty unusual. Also, if it had a major publisher behind it, maybe it would be affordable to add photos.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-7852879266507562002009-11-23T12:10:34.619-06:002009-11-23T12:10:34.619-06:00Cool!
