Andrew here: ending/transferring Cookbooker
I would also contribute, but I don't live in the US or Canada, so I don't know how easy transferring the site would be while keeping the same host. I think a Patreon account looks like a good idea. By the way, a while ago I looked up when…

Po(t)casts?
Ottolenghi has a podcast?! I looked both of them up, and came across The Food Chain on BBC, which also looks interesting.

Problems with adding photos
Have you thought about using Instagram for posting your photos? I've just added a link to my profile.

Is anybody getting Notifications from Cookbooker?
I remember that we had to sign up seperately for the forum, which could mean that you used two different email addresses - but given that you're assumingly using your email address to login to Cookbooker the problem is probably not that the not…

I tried it now on my computer, doesn't work there either.

I'd guess it's the website, I haven't been able to upload photos either (from my phone).

Your Santa list
Hubby got Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and I got Ruhlman's Twenty; I figured last minute that would make more sense since I don't do a lot of baking these days. I'm beginning to have doubts, however, as it seems very similar to, but not as g…

No, I checked that right away. I'll probably follow up with the publisher in a few days, I guess that's my best chance...

Cookbooks on Kindle?
Print from iPad (or phone), sorry (I don't own any cookbooks for Kindle).

Cookbooks on Kindle?
I sometimes use an iPad for cooking (and sometimes even my phone - yikes), but I cannot imagine using a Kindle. I often print recipes.

Made in India by Meera Sodha and A Bird in the Hand by Diana Henry are on my long list as well! I've cooled a little on Malakeh. All baking recipes use 'a glass' and/or 'a large glass' as unit for several different ingredie…

Ha, I was just thinking about that! These are my current top 3, but we're not big on presents for Christmas, so I might get maybe one, or none. - J. Kenji López-Alt: The Food Lab. Better Home Cooking Through Science - Michael Ruhlman: Ratio - …

Cooking in a vacation rental
Oh wow! No pots and pans? No plates or glasses?! You'd think somebody would mention such a thing in a review! What's the point of staying in a BnB if you don't even have a (however basic) kitchen?

Cooking in a vacation rental
I hear you! I always suspected that vacation home kitchens are equipped with stuff the owner either had no use for or happened to have twice.

Most reviewed recipe?
There's a list of the Top 6 on the 'browse'-page: http://www.cookbooker.com/browse.php. It's only a pity that you cannot go beyond that...

Best cookbook for beans?
We've used it just a few times now. It makes excellent rice; even better than our rice cooker. I steamed cauliflower for my daughter, but the cauliflower ended being overcooked after just 2 min of steaming (which in this case was a good thing a…

cooking NYT vs EatYourBooks
The app is even more useful with a few hacks. I've marked recipes in a certain way - a % at the end of the recipe title denotes that it's a dessert, # is vegetarian, ~ is fish etc. so I can also use it easily to browse recipes; it also sea…

cooking NYT vs EatYourBooks
I have a spread sheet on Google Drive with two sheets: one with seven columns, one for each day, where I'll note what we'll eat per day, and one with most of our standard dishes, sorted by type and preparation method (so sheet no.2 is my s…

Best cookbook for beans?
Ha! I actually own a copy of Grains! But of course this is a problem where only a new cookbook can really solve the problem... I was about to go to Amazon and order a copy of Bean by Bean when I stumbled across this thread on AskMetafilter, which c…

Adding tags to a book
I don't think there's any other way to add and edit cookbook tags, but one shortcut I always take is to manipulate the link to quickly skip to the page I need. So if you go to My Bookshelf and click 'next page', then the link wil…

What new kitchen gear do you hope to get this holiday?
I guess I'm a little later to the discussion (merry Christmas everyone!) - bunyip, does the Alligator veggie dicer only make dice, or can you also make fingers/french fry-sized pieces? I've got something similar (this one: http://i5.walmar…

pi day 2015
We made a Sausage, Apple and Sage Plate Pie; actually, DH made it, and only realized once it was ready that he had used a square baking dish instead of a round one. On Pi Day!

Fake cigar
Yes, they have! Little Jacob was born on February 20th and is doing very well! In the end, I got DH a box of chocolates in a cigar box (the closest to real chocolate cigars you can get) and a bottle of whisky after I found out that Don Draper actu…

Thank you! Actually, I was surprised to notice how much my pregnancy made family dynamics change during the past few months - I really hadn't expected that! And it's not even the first baby in the family...

Wow, those Godiva cigars look brilliant! Silly me, I knew there were chocolate cigarettes, but for some reason I never thought there might be propper chocolate cigars! It's too bad I can't order them, they don't ship to Europe (and ev…

Battle of the (taste) Buds
I sometimes try to make a series of dishes - I'd make one dish, and make another version of it one or two weeks (or even months) later. As it's just the two of us, anything else would be pretty impossible. Coq au Vin is a nice example (oh …

One day challenges
But that's great! I'll admit that at that age I didn't know anything about cooking. That only came some time in my twenties... I was much too busy today to cook something new, so I actually stuck to an old recipe and simply made a &q…
