Delving in again

After reading Julie & Julia last weekend, I've been thinking about my own favorite cookbooks. While Betty Crocker (1972 ed.) is my "go to" book, my favorite has to be "Cooking Secrets from Around the World" by Pamela McKinstry. It's not even that I've made so many of her recipes, I haven't. But they all sound so delicious, I think I may want to try.

Pamela was a successful restaurant owner (she invented the Morning Glory muffin) before moving to Africa to cook at a safari lodge. Then she hooked up with the Earthbound Farms folks and now serves as their consulting chef and cookbook co-author.

Today I made two recipes out of BC, but as soon as I can get a food photography lesson I'm  going to start cooking from CSAW. There are three recipes for veal, which I do not plan to cook. Everything else is fair game. mmmmm...
