Notes on Cooking

I am so sorry. There are a number of posts that I promised and didn’t get posted. The week slipped away from me. I am in the midst of a very difficult situation which more or less exploded very late Sunday night. It has been difficult for me to concentrate on work. I will try to get the posts up that didn’t get posted early in the week. O.k. I hate whining and excuses so that is that end of that.

Recently I was sent a little book called, Notes on Cooking. I could make this review really short and just say “go buy this book, immediately” but then you would think you were on someone else’s blog. So…grab your coffee and read on, MacDuff.

Notes on Cooking is just that.  It is like sitting at Julia Child’s kitchen table and fiercely scribbling away while she talks. I mean, stuff I didn’t know..not that that is SO surprising but …there was ALOT of stuff I didn’t know or hadn’t thought about. I think my cooking has taken on a different level since this book, and I am using more professional kitchen techniques which work great in home kitchens too!

I read it through once and now I find myself reading one small note a day to help me retain what I am reading. It really is that good. I think this is one of the most innovative, helpful, unique books to come out in a very long time.

I highly recommend it. It will be one you turn to again and again and again…..and…

Full Disclosure: I was sent this book to review. I didn’t pay anything for it, don’t have to send it back… I was not paid for the review.
