These books (at least the ones I own and have cooked from) have soul, and the writing is as good as the recipes. I still haven't gotten my hands on Dana's book. No more excuses -- I'll need to seek it out in 2010. I love to see writers like this get the love they deserve.

I still haven’t gotten my hands on Dana’s book. No more excuses — I’ll need to seek it out in 2010.

Another current fave is Kitchen Scraps - humour, good recipes, and 100% illustrated. And I recently had dinner with Pierre, there's my bias.

You could write reviews for me any time. I love the idea of presenting your recipe choice for each book. I might not have learned how to be a great cook yet (not your fault), but making comments without spell check has taught be how to spell recipe finally.

Grazing is great and has a wide range of recipes. I'm sure you'll love it. What can I say other than my readers are way smarter then I am.

It's a great concept, well executed. I have the classic Moosewood Cookbook but haven't seen their Sunday version in a long time. Good to know. And the link worked perfectly!

And I'm glad the peanut gallery (The Diva on Diet, Daniel) did mention a certain other excellent cookbook. (Not that you had to include it, Charmian, just because you came to the "party"!) Already love Modern Spice, but I am definitely going to check out Grazing. I sure love finger food! What a good round up.

And I'll add in one of my all time faves (I hope the formatting for the link works!) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671679902?ie=UTF8&tag=casukitc-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0671679902" rel="nofollow">Sundays at Moosewood.</a> It's got a really wide range of healthy, interesting and ethnic recipes. Yes, it's technically a vegetarian cookbook, but we use it religiously here at Casual Kitchen even though we are NOT vegetarians. Thanks for sharing some of your favorite cookbooks Charmian!
