Kitchen Confidential

December 7, 2008


I get a lot of recipes from the Internet, I’ll admit, but I maintain a groaning shelf of bound cookbooks, some of which are never opened and some of which are valued for one or two particular recipes. I did cull certain titles recently, mostly titles like, “200 Party Recipes from Condiments in Your Refrigerator.” A very few cookbooks I enjoy perusing for entertainment and inspiration. “The French Market” by Joanne Harris and Fran Warde, “The New Orleans Cookbook” by Rima and Richard Collin and “Anthony Bourdain’s les Halles Cookbook” by Anthony Bourdain come to mind.
