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 >

Guacamole : page 46

There are better guacamole recipes out there. This one didn't seem to come together well.

Pork and Peanut Dip : page 82

Very rich, so better with fresh vegetables, rather than the crackers recommended.

Roasted Vegetable Pate : page 101

Horrible. Too bland to be edible, just a vegetable mush.

Spiced Soy Crackers : page 61

Really quite nasty and wouldn't crisp up, no matter how long they were left in the oven.
