On the Shelves
Posted

I'm very selective when it comes to purchasing cookbooks. My shelf contains an eclectic collection which ranges from The American Heritage Cookbook (1964), The Basque Kitchen by Gerald Hirigoyen (1999), Far Eastern Cookery by Madhur Jaffrey (1996), Food & Feast in Tudor England by Alison Sim (1997), The Goodness of Olive Oil by John Midgley (1992), The Art of Polish Cooking by Alina Zeranska (1999), The Scots Kitchen by F. Marian McNeill (1929), and Spice: The History of Temptation by Jack Turner (2004), among others. I'm not counting the community or work-related cookbooks that are somehow always well-done.
When I buy a cookbook it is usually to help in research for an article, which probably explains my odd collection.
