Cold-Weather Cooking

By Sarah Leah Chase
Workman Publishing Company - 1990

November 15th, 2009 (edited 15th November 2009)

One of my very favorite cookbooks for the fall and winter here in New England!

The Gourmet Cookbook: More than 1000 recipes

By Zanne Early Stewart, Ruth Reichl, John Willoughby
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt - 2006

November 15th, 2009

A compendium of some of the very best recipes from Gourmet Magazine. An important reference for any home cook, with tested, solid recipes for thousands of dishes.

The New Basics Cookbook

By Julee Rosso, Sheila Lukins
Workman Publishing Company - 1989

November 15th, 2009

My very first cookbook as a "grownup". A classic, and helped give me the love of cooking (and cookbooks) I have today.

Pedaling Through Burgundy Cookbook

By Sarah Chase
Workman Publishing Co. - 1995

November 15th, 2009

Another favorite from Sarah Leah Chase - lovely French recipes "translated" for the American home cook.
