- Butternut Squash, Sage, and Goat Cheese Ravioli with Hazelnut Butter SauceDo you need more than the recipe title to entice you? Well, here's a bonus. This recipe calls for making the ravioli out of wonton wrappers. The result? Beside the time saving, the dish feels lighter than normal ravioli. (Despite all the cheese and butter!)No likes Can’t Like Unlike Like No likes

But, my copy was from 1979 and my dog eventually ate it...maybe I should check out a newer version?). Right now, I have Island Pork Tenderloin in the oven, and I can't wait to eat it.

This and Frank Stitt's other cookbook, Southern Table are my favorite, favorite cookbooks. By the grace of God, I "stumbled" upon Frank Stitt's restaurant, The Highlands, while in Birmingham for a business trip. I was looking for something a little better than the microwave dinner I had the night before. Boy was I in for a real treat. The next day I ate at Bottega Favorita and when I got home I promptly ordered both cookbooks online. I'll admit right up front that I enjoy reading cookbooks as much as I enjoy cooking from them. Both books provide rich context of...
- Who's Delia? I almost won this cookbook at my best friends housewares swap party (everyone brings 10 or so household items they don't want anymore and everyone puts their name down on things they want, for those items with more than one name, a winning name is drawn). I decided that this would be my next big cookbook purchase. I have 'The Silver Spoon', which is the Italian counterpart to 'I Know How to Cook', and I really enjoyed reading it, though I have to admit I have only made one recipe from it, tomato sauce.No likes Can’t Like Unlike Like No likes

- SouthsideThink mojito with gin instead of rum. Crisp, refreshing and a perfect marriage of American Southern and Italian traditions.

The green pea mash is a perfect compliment to ricotta and fresh mozzarella.No likes Can’t Like Unlike Like No likes - No likes Can’t Like Unlike Like No likes
Every few years I got vegetarian for a couple of months. This book was so good that when I started eating meat again, I also purchased it's sister (or mother?) publication, How to Cook Everything. I think both books are great for people who want to learn techniques that can be adapted based on what's available to you. I put both on my every growing list of cookbook "basics" that every cookbook collector should have on the shelves!
