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 >

Website: One Page Cookbooks - For the first time cook

Combined Base 7 (roasted chana dal) with flavoring 2 (mustard & asafetida). Quintupled the recipe to make what I would consider 3 lunches, along with grits (trying to use them up) and stir-fried spinach.
A nice curry, very mild. Dry roasting the legumes gives them a nice nutty flavor.
The only concern I had was pressure cooking the legumes. My pressure cooker instructions are a bit wary of cooking beans as apparently they can froth up, and can block the vent. So, I didn't use the sites method, but followed my manual and nothing blew up.
