Three of my favourites from the last years. On the left is de zilveren lepel, the silver spoon or il cucchiaio d’argento, sort of the bible of Italian cooking. I love Nigel Slater’s simplicity. The one on the right is called the potato. That should say enough right.

I’ll have to grab a pic of some of my favourites. Many are in my office or in the basement but it’s before 6am right now and the basement monsters might be awake.
I kept some of mum’s cookbooks. Here’s one (even though they spelled favourite wrong

I’m not big on high protein anymore. I know that as long as I eat a good variety of foods I will get plenty of protein.
But I do try to eat less carbs (though lasts nights dinner was a carb overload!!). I just do subs. Like I’ll add puréed cauliflower in my mashed potatoes, use spaghetti squash instead of pasta, etc.
Have they translated this? I’d love to check it out.

My husband and I did hello fresh and home chef for a while, mainly because we wanted new foods in our weekly rotation. We did it long enough to get a nice recipe book going and now I try and do weekly meal planning and it helps a lot with that and we can take the knowledge of one dish and tweak it enough to make it our own. They are especially good for new veggie options.

I don’t think so 
I had to look it up, turns out it’s her nickname, short for Chompoo, or rose apple. Quite an unfortunate English translation…I would say poor thing, but she has a cookbook, so

Nice. I’ve never actually made fat bombs, I really should give them a go. My idea of a fat bomb is a slice of salted butter straight from the fridge. I’m not even joking

I grew up with this cooking bible, Joy of Cooking. My grandma swore by it, and bought me my own copy on my 20th birthday. That copy since fell apart but I kept the page she inscribed for me, and my mom bought me this replacement a few years ago. It’s got all the basic American and some Americanized international recipes, lots of basic techniques and was how I continued to learn to cook after leaving home and before the wonders of the internet were really available. The other two are my new loves. I appreciate art in cookbooks, story-telling, and a message of hope beyond the recipes that I find in these two books. And I’m just in love with Samin.

I am intrigued. I cooked for 10 years before becoming a nurse. My passion is cooking and I have never heard of any of these cooks. European cooking is something I would love to learn. Is this book written in French? I would like to give it a whirl.
Ohhhhhh, I’ve never made any Scottish dishes. What is your favorite? I’d like to try and make one for my family. I don’t know that we’ve ever made a Scottish meal.
What language are they written in?
Nigel Slater is in English, The silver spoon is in my native tongue Dutch but it’s translated in English too from the original Italian, The potato is in Dutch only and out of print.
