Pasta Carbonara and Give a Book a Chance
I am asking all of you to reprimand me if I ever write off a cookbook without, at least, making 5 recipes. About a year ago, I received a book that I was looking forward to, 5 Ingredient Fix. When it was delivered, I grabbed it, sat down in a comfy chair and started going through my new book. I don't know how any of your react to a new cookbook but I am happy and excited. It reminds me of the first day of school, as a child, with my brand new notebook and sharpened pencils which to me, symbolized a new beginning. This is similar. A new cookbook symbolizes that new beginning, in that it is a new book to read, if the author adds some of her/himself to the mix. It opens door to new takes on old recipes and brand new recipes (at least to me). It also allows me to see beautiful photos with unique presentations. Best, usually a new cookbook inspires me and I fill it with stickies to mark the recipes, I want to make....
