Oh yes, Cooking will be year round. I find I like the culinary
textbooks more enjoyable over the regular recipe cook books.


Cook's Illustrated is good like that,
check it out at the library. also there
are several good science of cooking
type books that are interesting in their
own right along with microbiology
books that get into things like spoiling,
molds, cheese making, fermentations,
pickling, acetic acid, etc. all very
interesting to those who are into the
biological processes going on all over
the place. did i say anything about
canning and preserving? many
good works there too.


I do record the TV shows to "Cook's Country Kitchen", "Primal Grill",
"Good Eats", "Simply Ming", Mexican One Plate" along with "Garden by
the Yard", "P. Allen Smith", "Victory Garden" and "Cultivating Life".
I have been recording these show for 5 years. Eleven hours of shows
each week on a single DVD. I watch them during my lunch break on my
laptop at work. I have hundreds of these disk in a single shoebox. I
rarely watch TV at home. Now I can go through them and try out more
of the meals at a slower pace.


Ma watches them from time to time,
America's Test Kitchen is my favorite when
i convince myself that i must watch tv.


My latest Purchased books on food a
Home Cheese Making: Recipes for 75 Delicious Cheeses, ISBN-10:
1580174647 and The Home Creamery: ISBN-10: 1603420312
Since I now have a calf named Bess.
It will be another year before I get into making my own dairy
products.


that sounds wonderful and i'm sure there
will be plenty of adventures with Bess.


I like this book allot, local store, an out of print book called,:
Cookwise: The Secrets of Cooking Revealed , ISBN: 978-0-688-10229-6
by Shirley O Corriher. This is a book on the science of cooking.


good to note. thanks!
