New Challenge - May 2013
Normally I would say I would get bored after 6 weeks, but for a book of this size, I agree that 3 months would be good. Also since it goes over the summer, you can not worry about missing most of the challenge if you are traveling. That cookbook is …

Review confusion
I just wrote a review for chickpea soup, but I took over a day to write it and I was signed out by the time I finished. I see it but it doesn't come up with the chickpea recipe. Help! Peckish Sister

No, mine smelled and tasted like spruce tree gum (l chewed one to check it out). I had been hoping for something much more mysterious. They were all quite uniform in size and tear drop in shape. It is supposed to all originate from one island. Howev…

Welcome to Cook Booker. I look forward to your reviews. You have one heck of a cookbook collection. The nice thing about the contests is that they seem to go pretty quickly and hopefully onto something you might like better. One of my favorite thing…

Zosia, After buying it on line (and yes I have some and am anxious to put it to work) I found it cheap in the refrigerator at a Mediterrean deli/store. Then I also saw it in the International Food Club in Orlando. Good luck finding it.

I'm in. I also obtained this cookbook from the library. I wasn't sure I would like it. I usually prefer more pictures and less talk. However I am really getting into it. As we are Orthodox and do a lot of fasting I found the story about th…

OK, I did not know if my story qualified, but this encourages me. We started taking family vacations where we could stay in a National Park lodge and we would try and eat at least one meal in their better restaurant. Our first national park was Mt R…

What do you think of notifications of new photos posted? It might be too much to get a multiple notifications if you posted a recipe and then added pictures. But I am now adding pictures to recipes that I am cooking for the second or third time sinc…

Kitchen Disasters
The apple tapioca review by Queezle Sister triggered a memory from my youth. When I first started cooking I sometimes confused ingredients. I made an apple tapioca recipe, but put in 3 tablespoons of lemon extract for the lemon juice. My parents wer…

Newest Challenge - Paula Wolfert's Moroccan Cooking
A quick look in Amazon showed me that Paula Wolfert has 9 other cookbooks in print. They are most Meditteranean, but she does have one on rustic French cuisine.

Newest Challenge - Paula Wolfert's Moroccan Cooking
There are some recipes that seem identical to me in both cookbooks. I would like to have a record that I cooked that recipe for each book, but I don't want it to count as double reviews. Should I wait until after the contest to post in the othe…

How about a vegetarian challenge next? Last year it coincided pretty well with Lent.

Site improvements & suggestions
Andrew, would it be possible to have the page numbers on top when you look at your reviews? I love the way you can sort them many different ways, but to be able to turn pages from the top would be nice.

Best cookbook of 2011
That is a good, but very tough question. I do not know when I have accumulated so many cookbooks in one year, or used and enjoyed them so much. I can only tell you that today, my favorite is Bert Greene's The Grains Cookbook. It did not come ou…

I would love Mexican or Moroccan, I haven't really explored either in too much depth. Asian is really a broad category, I was worried about soy being too prominent, but I suppose it depends on which Asian cuisine.

Skim milk or whole milk that is the question
I confused grams of fat with percent, thanks for the correction. That makes better sense.

Skim milk or whole milk that is the question
Dear niece, think of this as a simple math puzzler. What is the percentage of fat in your cream and your milk? My heavy cream is 8%. What is the percent fat in your milk? You mentioned skim milk which should be near zero and also 1% which would be 1…
