Nothing. I don't need anything (except clothes that fit) and not liable to find those in Lexington, KY.

Still shaking my head over the Amana Radarrange II cookbook. I know themed cookbooks for appliances and processed food were all rage back

in the day, but for the Radarrange? Really?

Well, it was one of the first microwaves, so I supposes they really did need to tell people how to use it.

He did bring me back a 1928 cookbook by Priscilla.

Cool! How many cookbooks do you have now?

Over 700...

Just got the Alinea cookbook, which is pretty hard to cook from unless you think alginate is a common ingredient. The pictures are pretty.

Nice collection! Do you have a favorite that you use a lot? Or a favorite that's just a good read?

I have about a dozen favorites depending on what I am doing, Alton Brown, Julia Child, Barbara Kafka (especially for microwaving),

Old Kentucky Favorites (Hot Browns), Silver Palate (appetizers), Time Life Foods of the World and the best Indian Cookbook EVER,

Mary Atwood's Tastes of India.

Very nice. I'm going to look the Mary Atwood book up as I've been getting into Indian food more. I like the spice combos that I've tried so

far and the vast majority of their food is gluten free.

The reading books I like are generally not cookbooks, but food history or essays. Just read Grant Achatz's life, on the line, a GREAT book.

The Atwood book is WAY out of print and unfortunately very expensive.

I had heard that On The Line is a great read.

Especially if you are a foodie and have eaten in some of the restaurants they talk about.
