it’s the real deal…
When I said we were soul mates, I meant it in all senses of the word. As Anna was jotting down her thoughts on her passion for cooking showing pictures of her cookbook collection on this blog spot, I was scheming up a blog that we could write together about some of most inspirational books. As I read I couldn’t believe how she had read my mind!
So here is my part…. with help from friends and family, I have somehow …. I think Dave Mac just helped me with the most fitting word… hoarded… yup, that would be right. Hoarded enough books to fill up the trunk of my Camery (well, almost). We all know just how addictive cookbooks can be but I can honestly say with pride that many of the pages in my books are worn and stained, which I absolutely love. I did not grow up cooking, and it was a big joke in my family that when I went off to college I “couldn’t boil water” and when my mother would add items to my hope chest (for real) I would wonder when I would ever use these items (and in fact, what some were). Needless to say, I have come a long way and love playing with new ingredients sweet and savory. So, without further ado…my collection:
some of my ultimate favorites!!
With all the inspiration on these four shelves, I should stay busy for years to come…and with any diligence, I will be putting many on this site for you to try so bake on!
