Wednesday Fun #25 - Cookbook Call-out

Since this is apparently a good month for lists, your Wednesday Fun challenge for today is to name at least 3 of your cookbooks without looking at/for them. I figure we'll hear some of your most used ones, or most memorable ones, plus you'll give your brain a bit of a stretch trying to remember them.

List (at least) 3 of your cookbooks!


And a big thank you shout out to AllKnowingJen and The Dude for today's Wednesday Fun poll idea about egg dyeing! Brilliant!


P.S. Yeah, by the way, you don't have to be an official Recipeeps contributor to play these Wednesday Funs or do the polls, you know, so all you lurkers out there, join in!

Oh hey, Ms. Huis, the Ballymaloe Bread Book reminds me — I have some lamb in the freezer that's destined for stew, and I want to make an Irish brown bread with it. Would you post a recipe?

AKJ - there's an awesome recipe the 365 where you hollow out a half loaf of bread and fill it with a sausage mixture. Try it!
