Moroccan Mechoui from Mediterranean Clay Pot Cooking: Traditional and Modern Recipes to Savor and Share

Easy and delicious. The meat was falling off the bone. My shoulder was smaller than asked and I probably should have cooked it slightly less. read more >

Beard on Pasta

By James Beard
Random House Value Publishing - 1994

I think this may be one of the first serious books on pasta aimed at the general cooking public published in the US (1983). It's a good read (it is James Beard after all). There are lots of "standard" pasta recipes, and lots of new-to-me variations. I haven't cooked from it yet, but looking forward to it.
Fresh pasta: Barbara Kafka's Buckwheat Noodles, Avocado Pasta, several versions of ravioli
Dry pasta: Chêvre-Tomato Spaghetti, Orzo Soufflé.
A keeper.
