Gifts

I received this cookbook for my birthday - Good Eats:  The Early Years and its follow up Good Eats 2:  The Middle Years for Christmas.  What can I say, I've always been a huge fan of the show and the Mrs. gets me.

But why am I telling you this?  Ask yourself this question:  Of the cookbooks you have on your shelf (come on, you know you have more than one and less than 10) how much do you use them?

I've used those at least 4 times in the last month and all of the recipes were phenomenally tasty and easy.  Not necessarily simple, but then like Thelonious Monk said:  Simple ain't easy.

Funny you asked. I received a free Italian cookbook with some cook ware I purchased and I thought to myself how I never use cookbooks at all any more. If I am looking to make something, I just search for a recipe online.

That said, I do like Alton Brown.

Like Mindi, I often search online for recipe ideas. However, I like AB, too, so maybe I'll check those out!
