The Good Cook's Book of Days

I received this book recently as a gift from a fine cook I have had the pleasure of working with on several occasions. I had always wanted a place to write down food related experiences, not necessarily recipes (I have other journals for those) but points in time that deserve to be recorded. I have a memory of sharing an ambrosial banana four ways in the Coba archealogical site in the Yucatan. Another of my son and husband catching tree frogs outside a nice Sonoma Valley restaurant for an elderly friend to put in her pond. Or the night this same woman flirted audaciously with a waiter in another restaurant. Or of buying a sack of pristine Seattle foodstuffs from Pike Place Market and tucking into them with utter joy along the Oregon Coast. Where can you write about these things? In Michele Anna Jordan's book, of course.

Great way to organize all your recipes

I have looked high and low for a good book where I could organize all the family recipes that have been handed down to me, from my grandmother. I have been collecting recipes for well over thirty years. And until I found this book, I had them on pieces of paper everywhere. I come from a long line of cooks in my family. And I have been given recipe that date back to my great great grandparents. And I now know where to go and look for any given recipe.
