TOD:
The shipment from Jessica's Biscuit arrived today. So, when it comes to books, I'll be reading:
Laura Shapiro's Something from the Oven, the history of how the food industry tried to totally make over how the American housewife cooked back in the 1950s ... and how they didn't exactly succeed.
Michael Ruhlman's The Elements of Cooking, about the craft of cooking, with just one recipe in the entire book.
Francoise Bernard and Alain Ducasse's The Good Cuisine, about cooking French.
Bobby Flay's Bobby Flay Cooks American, about cooking American. (Didn't see that one coming, did ya!)
And Carolin C Young's Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver, a lavishly illustrated tome about the history of elegant dining.
One book in this order is on backorder, which is surprising. The book is Carlo Middione's Traditional Pasta, and what is surprising is that this is the book Jessica's Biscuit is sending me free, as a thank-you for placing such a nice order.
I've also been re-reading Parry Hotter and the Heathly Dallows, and Anthony Bordain's Les Halles Cookbook.
And on the CD front, der Brucer wants me to listen to Disney's Der Glockner Von Notre Dame. It's in German. Thank-you, George!
