Stl Bills Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Spend lots of time in Savannah Paul. The last five years I've rented a big house on Tybee Island, have nephews who compete in the Rugby tournament there and spent a lot of time in the Irish pub with new york city cops and firefighters. What a great city for a party. Great restaurants. Mrs. Wilkes is closed now, or so I hear. 623739[/snapback] It's pretty sweet on St. Patties Day too! mmmm....green beer!

When they tore the DeSoto down for condos, it marked the changing of the guard. And yeah, I've run across Sandra Bulloch in Spanky's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Looking for personal recommendations for the best cookbook you have in your house. Wifey can spend hours thumbing through cookbooks old and new, and we try to spend each weekend cooking something new. We have about 100 cookbooks from all over the world, and we're looking for some new titles. We have four favorites: 1) Rao's Cookbook (from the famous Harlem restaurant) 2) The Barbeque Bible (a must for anyone who owns a grill and takes it seriously) 3) Dear S.O.S. (A collection of LA-based restaurant recipes from the LA Times) 4) Cucina & Famiglia (which we tracked down after watching "Big Night") Any and all suggestions appreciated. Bonus points if you reference specific recipes from the books. 623688[/snapback] The Women's Home Companion Cook Book. My copy is dated 1943 - published by P.F. Collier & Son. It's about 950 pages. It's a book from times when prepared foods were a rarity, meat dishes were a special treat for most folks, eating out was for special occasions, and angst about salt, butter, eggs etc. was non-existent. If it flew, swam, walked, or grew in the ground, it got eaten! If you come across it somewhere, pick it up. You and your wife will enjoy it.

Stl Bills Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Yep been over to Little SSI more than a few times, used to do a lot of kayaking when I lived on SSI and little SSI made a good place to stop and have a sandwich mid-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 The women just make things , but this is good Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes section on Mennonite and Amish also interesting perhaps.... 623744[/snapback] I've got one called the "Lancaster Co. Amish Cookbook." There's a lot of great American staple recipes in there (esp. the pies section)... but I think they're all on the Crisco payroll. "The Bread Book" by Anthony Blake and Her Name Escapes Me Now.... Really well written, step-by-step instructions and photos. For anyone serious about bread, this is recommended. Their Ole Bollen recipe is the best I've seen. One I picked up last year, the "Hartford Veterans' Center Recipe Book." Nicely put together by mostly 'Nam vets who get together on Monday nights. It's got a picture of a P-38 on the cover(!) so how can you pass that up? Excellent stuffed pepper recipe and three for catfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The Betty Crocker Cookbook - the older version, which required effort, not heating somthing in the microwave Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse Anything by Ten Speed Press - I know one of the marketers at Ten Speed, and he is a great cook also. His specialty is getting resturants and other specialty cooks to put out cookbooks. Here's some of his books from a Google Search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a recipe in there from this side of the Civil War. But if you read them because their cool...now that's different. 628146[/snapback] Talivet and Fannie Farmer are my favorites. All kidding aside I was thinking the exact same thing when I read this. Pete you da man. Here's some names worth looking up: Charlie Trotter-executive chef in nyc @ charlie trotter's which was awarded relais & chateaux (I've heard the guys a dick) Gray Kunz-executive chef owner at cafe gray nyc (I would highly reccomend a real nice guy and innovative with food) Patrick O' Connell-executive chef at the inn at little washington america's #1 restaurant Nobu Matsuhisa-co-owns I believe 7 different restaurants in the world (this guy impresses me the most) These guys all have great cook books to check out, fyi.

Kevbeau Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Barefoot in Paris by Ina Garten. I know a few people that have this book and they point to it as one of their favorites. Great recipes and not too taxing on the culinary skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will absolutely get this book as fast as possible. Very, very, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
