Nice to know someone else who uses those 'classic' books -- they really are rock solid when it comes to cooking, recipes, eating.<br /><br />Cheers!Charles G Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15290051364309639950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6592616212905321959.post-41417144272563771292009-04-15T21:20:00.000-07:002009-04-15T21:20:00.000-07:00Charles, you really do embrace all of the ideals I...Charles, you really do embrace all of the ideals I hold true in the kitchen. I have an entire bookshelf full of cookbooks, and the three I go to time and time again are "The Joy of Cooking" and volumes 1 & 2 of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking."

Oh, they might not be *hip* or *fashionable*, but those trends come and go and the classics remain. I do love Marcella Hazan's books.
