About me: I've been cooking and baking since I was a child and collecting cookbooks almost that long. Years ago, I lost my entire collection in a flood and I've been slowly building it back up. I cook for my husband and three sons who are not very adventurous eaters. We're on the go a lot with sports and school schedules. I love to bake and my boys and their friends appreciate all manner of baked goods.

Favorite cookbook: King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion

Ginger Pork Meatballs with Cilantro and Fish Sauce from Dinner: Changing the Game

These meatballs and the dipping sauce were to die for delicious. Although there was a lot of chopping the recipe was easy to follow. Everyone loved it and we will definitely make this again. read more >

Still Life with Menu Cookbook

By Mollie Katzen
Ten Speed Press - 1988

I made these for someone whose favorite flavors are chocolate and ginger. Sadly, these cookies don't taste strongly of either flavor. I suppose that was to be expected as there is only 1 oz of unsweetened chocolate in the batter but I was hoping for more.

Nonetheless, the cookies do have a nice flavor and I liked them. I just don't think they live up to their name.

I may have to bake these again to give a fair rating.

The cookies have minimal ingredients and are leavened by only one egg. I added a few drops of lemon oil for added lemon flavor. I expected flat "snap" cookies but the cookies I got were small mounds with crystallized sugar surrounding them.

I used a small cookie scoop to measure them out but the cookies were hit or miss in size. Some just completely melted into piles of brown sugary goo.

The cookies that didn't dissolve (most) are quite good. Perfect for when you want a fruity cookie.

Very simple, very wonderful recipe!

Essentially a green bean stir fry with garlic and red pepper flakes. Everyone in my family loved them and we'll eat green beans this way again very soon.
