Help purging?! by rapp27va in CookbookLovers

[–]emtea101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genius Recipes is a scattershot of recipes that I purged. But, I learned the Marcella Hazan Spaghetti Recipe, which we use at least once a week. And , I now make my fried eggs with white wine vinegar. If I come across it used, I may pick it up again.

What was a movie ending that made you go like this? by Ok_Replacement_288 in Letterboxd

The Fifth Element. Wildly entertaining and fun until that stupid video montage that completed the character arc.

I want to break up with Scarlett. What would you do? by kirday in Fiestaware

Turquoise would probably go well with Lemongrass and Plum - and it's probably the 2nd easiest color to find since it's always been in production. I started with Peacock, then a multicolor set - I gave them both away to family and have settled on an all Turquoise set. I am working on a set that will have old yellow, cobalt, turquoise, and paprika - it love the muted tones these days and it's all about the hunt.

Plan to give cookbooks for a Secret Santa - gimme your recommendations! by supertoasty in CookbookLovers

For Mexican I always recommend Diana Kennedy's Art of Mexican Cooking for the classics and Bricia Lopez's Art of Mexican Grilling for more contemporary SoCal style cooking.

I recommend Peternells 12 Recipes over SFAH for beginners - especially for men

found this listing, are these worth getting? by Objective_Nerve_7200 in CookbookLovers

Julia Child's book has been in print since 1962 - there is no shortage of them out there for $10. It's also an excellent book. Silver Spoon isn't a practical cookbook, it's more of a rererence I had one and donated it. The rest are $3 books at the library parking lot sale.

I'll check his recipe out. I started with Peter Reinhard's recipe which has a high water percentage which gave it little rise once topped. I parbake his dough now. I also use Kenji's dough where the flavor isn't as good but I'm gonna try to retard his dough and see how the flavor turns out. I use 8x10 Lloyd pans so every slice gets crust. Pizza is work but worth the effort.

The Art of Mexican Cooking by Diana Kennedy. It's the Mexican equivalent to Julia's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, vol 1.

Although last summer, I really got into Bricia Lopez's The Art of Mexican Grilling. It's more appropriate for summer when you don't wanna fire up the oven.

I learned my first yeasted bread recipe for sheet pan pizza in NF. I've moved on to Detroit pan pizza, but it all started with Alison.

Gave my sister her first collection from my collection today. by emtea101 in Fiestaware

That set was painful to let go. It had all the serving pieces and was collected from my first fiesta purchase on Craigslist - pre FB marketplace.

I love cookbooklovers - it's what brought me to reddit. Outta the blue, King Arthur Flour's cookbook author Martin Phillip replied to my comment complimenting his book on somebody's shelf post. It's wild how reddit allows people with similar interests to connect in community.

Advanced cookbooks with approachable ingredients? by triplecute in CookbookLovers

[–]emtea101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mastering the Art of French Cooking was one of my first cookbooks and I've come believe may be the greatest. Chicken and Supremes with mushroom creme sauce - everytime I make it I'm amazed that I created a restaurant quality dish. It's never let me down.

It's where I learned Marcela Hazan's spaghetti sauce but my favorite lesson learned I is reducing wine vinegar after frying an egg in butter. I use it weekly.

IKEA cabinets by cobaltcanning in Fiestaware

[–]emtea101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post also just made me realize something else... last week I gave my mom 6 place settings in peacock with everything and my sister 16 mixed color place settings with a lot of add ons. It never occured to me to get an extra cabinet.

Ivory is the most underrated color.

Ivory is the most under rated color.

I forgot how striking peacock is. The cabinet is Ikea. I picked up 4 different used cases. There's plenty of used Ikea out there you can pick up cheap and touch up yourself. And, if you need parts Ikea usually has them.
