About me: Just in case my mother finds this website, I don't buy all my cookbooks new. A lot are second hand from garage sales and op shops. One of my favorites is a 1960's high school cookbook from Malaysia bought from a garage sale. I use to love the Time-Life Good Cook series and the Food of the World series, but I haven't had a lot of success cooking out of them. They are wonderful to read tho', so they are still in the bookshelves, and not relegated to storage.
Favorite cookbook: Thai Food by David Thompson
Lentil Soup from A Month in Marrakesh
A good plain soup which made a large potful. I made it with water, not stock, and it still worked, which is always a good sign. read more >

Indian Vegetarian CookeryBy Jack Santa Maria
Red Wheel Weiser - 1977
If you cut the amount of water to 3 cups and use stock instead, this makes a very good soup, warming in cold weather. Quick and easy to make.
