Favorite cookbooks

I'm a cookbook fiend. I don't think I can ever have enough. and I read them like novels. I read recipes I never intend to cook, recipes I wouldn't even enjoy. I read way more cookbooks than novels.

Anyway, the wife and I are cleaning upstairs before some family come to visit, and the wife wants to get rid of some. Well, we can get rid of some. They can't all be winners.

I don't know if this is my favorite, but it holds some sentimental value. This was my first one, purchased in 1986 or 1987 from a traveling encyclopedia salesman. I was 8 or 9 years old and I convinced my mom to buy it for me. I even remember a couple recipes I cooked from it - one of the spaghetti sauce recipes, which was the first thing I made from it; the grilled Cornish game hens I made for my parents' wedding anniversary when I was 10.

It's like a reunion with an old friend.

for the Mint and Coconut freaks (like myself)

Grilled Pineapple wih Mint & Toasted Coconut

Ingredients:
-sugar (super fine if available, but if not it's no biggie)
-small handful of mint (or one of the packages at the stor does the job); shredded
-1 Large pineapple
- 1/4 dry unsweetened coconut

Cook:
Put sugard into a pan and add 2/3C water - stir over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Toss in mint sprigs, turn off heat and let infuse as it cools.

cut pineapple into 8 wedges and cut out the core. Heat a grill. ( i used medium). add pineapple and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly charred. the let cool slightly.

Cut away the skin from the pineapple, then slice the grilled flish thinly and place in a small bowl. Remove the mint sprigs, then pour the infused syrup over the pineapple wedges. Chill until ready to serve.

Didide the pineapple /portion out and sppon over the syrup. Sprinkle with shredded mint leaves and toasted cocounut.

yep. I like it for that reason. good use of left over stuff or stuff you want to get rid of before it goes bad etc.

my grandmother in law would always bring me recipe magazines; they would have all the recipes in the back, neatly divided and perforated into 3x5" sizes to pull out. outstanding.

I have so many cookbooks and magazines, I honestly can't say I have on favorite. I am a sucker for buying such things. I also buy one from trips.
