People used to think I was crazy because I would curl up with a good cookbook. My favorites are my Foods of the World collection. It was not just the recipes but the culture behind the food and the stories of the people met along the way. I have never heard of these other cookbooks because I tend to live in the past but I will have to check them out. Oh I'm visiting from the UBP but will comment on that post. Thanks for stopping by!

So I am just going to take that as a sign that I need this book. Going to buy it now. Thanks so much for participating in Things I Love Thursday.

I think I had this exact conversation with Crescent Dragonwagon on Twitter - for me, a cookbook is first and foremost a *book* and food writing is, at the end of the day, *writing* that has to draw me in, weave me a story. I also have a copy of 'More with Less,' from which I've never cooked - but I've read it cover-to-cover at least three times. I've got dog-eared copies of Laurel's Kitchen, The Moosewood Cookbook, Sunday's at Moosewood, The Encyclopedia of Italian Cooking, Vegetarian Epicure, a Farm Journal cookbook and maybe my most beat-up cookbook of all time - The Farm Vegetarian Cookbook. Cooked from them? Of course, all the time. But some days I just make a cup of coffee and *read* them, cover to cover. Because it's all about the story - and the recipe without the story isn't why I bought the book in the first place! .-= Pat Steer (Gaelen)´s last blog ..<a href="http://kitchenjam.net/2010/01/comfort-food-jam-steak-house-soup/">Comfort Food Jam: Steak House Soup</a> =-.

I love seasonal food and have been meaning to cook more seasonally, I need to learn more about it though and actually take steps towards it. I'm a cook book reader - the best ones are those with amazing pictures. Jade Just stopped over from Organising Your Way.

My. Word. More With Less is one of the 1st cookbooks I bought after I became a Christian in 1978! It was on the bookshelf of the Westown Co-op where I suddenly found myself the head buyer...knowing pretty much nothing about healthy cooking/eating. (they were desperate!) I love it! It is so much more than a cookbook...it is real life stories from real women. I can't wait to check out the blogs you recommended! Oh. My. Word.
