My New Books!
Thursday is my work-from-home day, and as usual, I have a full day of teleconferences. I was in the middle of one of the boring calls when someone rang my doorbell. I tried not to miss the discussion and so I ran out of my room to open the door. I was thrilled to see a postman at my doorstep!
Well, let me explain why a postman could make me so happy. I ordered 5 books (1 cookbook, 1 book about life in cooking school, and 3 non food-related books) from a website in US way back in May. When I placed my order, I have to choose my preferred shipping speed. Being a cheapskate ( ;-) ), I opted for surface mail, since the delivery cost is much lower. This resulted in a long, long wait for the books. When I saw the postman, I knew that the books have finally arrived!
Now that I've received this batch of books, I have another long wait, because I've just placed an order for two more cookbooks... !

If you like Julia Child, I just read that there is a book about Julia's life and this woman attempted all her recipes. Go to Amy's blog at www.beautyjoyfood.com for the info.
1) Eating My Words by Mimi Sheraton
2)Toast by Nigel Slater
3)The Perfectionist: Life & Death in Haute Cuisine by Rudolph Chelminski
I love cookbooks too. I just came back from a bookstore and guess what? Another book will be added to my bookshelf! LOL
Hi DSD,
Thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely check them out!
I'd certainly recommend Baking with Julia. I've tried out one of the recipes and it turned out great. :-)
I'm a former chef in the US and am loving your site. Thanks so much!
