This was a big Christmas for cookbooks at the Flamingo House. Here’s scoop:
Elaine Magee, who I adore and have the pleasure of working with sent me her new Comfort Food Makeovers cookbook. I read the introductory pages and sifted through the recipes on Christmas Eve. Awesome, as are all of Elaine’s books.
Speaking of Elaine’s books, I gave the Fry Light, Fry Right cookbook to my mom, my ex mil and TW’s mom. I have a copy for Jenn but seem to have left it at home so I guess she’ll get it for her birthday or something.
I gave TW and prince Joe the Grilled Cheese: 50 Recipes to Make You Melt cookbook that I saw mentioned in the Village Voice cookbooks for the holidays article. It’s a foofy little book with lots of interesting (and impossible to find in our little college town) ingredients. I bought it because Joe loves grilled cheese but he doesn’t love his mother’s grilled cheese. He loves mine.
Michelle and TW got Shakespeare’s Kitchen. Lots of yukky meat recipes but interesting all the same for the Shakespeare effect and it will be interesting for them to play with.
Oops, forgot I also bought my Son In Law the Weber’s Real Grilling. He seemed pretty excited about it.
