I’d forgotten how funny Bracken was, no wonder the Betty Friedan generation loved her.</p>

<p>I’ve got a lot of good recipes from Michael Chiarello, especially the roasted crap recipes(will be passed down to the next generation). But this recipe was not in his book, it was in Sunset Magazine. Same with his recipe for ribs, it was so easy. It’s a first time that a novice could make ribs that taste better than some local ribs place.</p>

<p>There are a few roasted crap recipes that I’m aware of but his recipe is the best. Simply delicious.</p>

<p>Speaking of recipe cards… I SO want to do this!</p>

<p>A question??? What is the best cookbook to buy for a starting out college cook. You know the drill; not too many of those expensive spices, not too many ingredients, and not too easy as to be boring. Oh and healthy stuff (not all those cream soup recipes). Any suggestions? Am I asking for too much?</p>

87

<p>I have owned or borrowed many of the books already mentioned, but I have to add Marcia Adams’ “Cooking from Quilt Country” books (there was a show some years ago on PBS). I always go back to those books when I want something hearty, simple, or just want to jostle those memories of being in the kitchen as a child with my PA Dutch grandmother.</p>

<p>I bought “The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition” for my niece (wedding shower gift) and they got a lot of use out of it. Basic, no-nonsense recipes.</p>

<p>Artmommy77, flip through a few pages of a Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook and see if it fits your need.</p>

<p>Got this for S for Christmas: [Amazon.com:</a> Anyone Can Cook: Step-by-Step Recipes Just for You (Better Homes & Gardens Cooking) (9780696232930): Better Homes & Gardens: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Anyone-Can-Cook-Step-Step/dp/0696232936]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Anyone-Can-Cook-Step-Step/dp/0696232936). Its from Better Homes & Gardens…simple recipes, easy-to-understand directions. At the bottom of each recipe, there’s an " Ask Mom" section where it further explains the recipe…i.e. how do I mince garlic? S made several recipes over break and I understand his GF is also being treated to his new culinary skills.</p>

<p>Has anyone seen food52? [url=<a href=“http://www.food52.com/]food52[/url”>http://www.food52.com/]food52[/url</a>]
A NY Times food editor is running a weekly contest where readers email their favorite
recipe and everyone tries it and votes. The 3 winning entries are evaluated by the
food editor. The website is very visual and upbeat- everyone sends in photos and chatty text. The dishes seem healthy and not very complicated.</p>

<p>^^That’s a great site. Love the “contest” concept. Thanks for posting, cornmuffin!</p>
