Hey Garrett great post. I will have to take a look at that cookbook series. Often I will preview one from the library before deciding to purchase it.

Thanks for stopping by my blog recently and leaving a message. I am also excited to find another Sacramento area food blogger! Yay!

I enjoyed your review of the cheese book too. Lots to read and enjoy here. I've added you to my blog roll and will be back!

first thanks for visiting my site Kitchen Inferno and leaving a message. It seems no one visits it or they don't leave a message. I thought your writing about Butch N Nellies and the Mediterranean place was quite good reviewing style. About cookbooks, I feel it's a good book if I get one idea out of it that I can use.

This could start an everyone's favourite cookbook series:

Giuliano Bugialli's "On Pasta" works like a charm. Clear instructions on pasta shapes, ingredients and cooking times with some historical and regional information. Unusual recipes one never sees outside of family kitchens. Also recipes that predate the arrival of the tomato from the Americas which are ancient and savoury but mostly forgotten. Lots of tips about in which order to add and cook ingredients that really make the final flavours special.

Unlike many cookbooks, not a single recipe has failed (so far at least!).
