The only problem with cookbooks is that once you start looking through them, you start fantasizing about the incredible meals youre going to cook for people. Which is why leafing through two new Maine cookbooks Linda and Martha Greenlaws The Maine Summer Cookbook: Recipes for Delicious, Sun-Filled Days and Dana Moos The Art of Breakfast: How to Bring B&B Entertaining Home just might make you end up rushing to the market for supplies. Renowned author and swordfish boat captain Linda Greenlaw and her mother, Martha Greenlaw, already are old hands at writing cookbooks their Recipes From a Very Small Island was a big hit when it came out in 2005, prompting Time Magazine to call it a must-have. The simple Maine ingredients and recipes of that collection are present in The Maine Summer Coo...
At the same time of year when gyms draw crowds, the publishing industry launches a flurry of healthy cookbooks to fill book stores. If your idea of "healthy" is a dried-out, broiled chicken breast or bowls of raw, crunchy vegetables, you should check out a few of these recipe collections.
Judging by the number of new vegetarian cookbooks, this is a good time to be interested in a plant-based diet. Five new cookbooks, some totally vegan and some vegetarian, are out or due out in the next few weeks. Here's a peek at each.
Benner also hits up tag sales and visits libraries when they sell off extra stock. But the vast majority of her cookbooks come free from the CSWD drop-off point where Patrick Benner works. In the beginning, he had to work to locate items suitable for his wife's collection. "He'd find them in the book bins," she says. "When people had books to drop off, he'd say, 'Do you have any cookbooks?' Oddities like this have value even when they're never used for their recipes: Each one captures the distinct feel of a distant time and place. Finding any particular cookbook can be a chore, though, Benner notes, since they're not organized. "I thought about doing the Dewey Decimal system, but that would drive me crazy," she says. Benner does maintain a printed "Master Cookbook List" in a three-ring...
This month's column is not about cooking so much as about recipes themselves. Last month's column was made entirely from recipes found online. I decided what I wanted to make, jumped on the computer and quickly found a dozen recipes to choose from. Several years ago I would have pored over a stack of cookbooks, or found something inspiring in the pages of a cooking magazine, dog-eared the page and taken it with me to the store to buy the ingredients. Now those magazines are piling up in the basement, in a crate that I pass with a twinge of disappointment at unrealized potential. Twenty-five years ago I would have been a young girl and wouldn't have even turned to magazines, but waited while my mother pulled out a thin and yellowed slip of paper from her recipe box her grandmother's cho...

Summer -- the season for campfires and toasty marshmallows -- is nearly here. But man cannot live by s'mores alone. So, it's hardly surprising that camp food has inspired its very own publishing niche, complete with practical, macho and whimsical approaches to the fine art of the weenie roast. The newest batch of camp cookbooks includes a British charmer, a macho Tim Allen-esque tome and what can only be described as "camping with Jeeves.
Everybody knows at least one - a pretentious foodie who insists on frou-frou ingredients, laborious techniques and over-the-top dishes. Well, this year they're out of luck. Because 2011 was a year when cookbooks - even those by high-end and celebrity chefs - went all homey and nostalgic. Which is good news for those of us who don't want to garnish a Wednesday night dinner with hand-harvested truffle- salmon roe foam.
Do you have a certain little someone at your table who screeches "ewww" at the sight of broccoli? Or wrinkles up his nose at a plate of ruby red beets? Or pushes her carrots around the dish instead of eating them? Trying to get these picky eaters to eat nutritious meals they need for their growing bodies is enough to make a parent fall apart in desperation. But some sneaky (or clever) moms have taken the carrots by the greens and created cookbooks that offer nutritious meals mixed with a little bit of trickery.
A fresh batch of cookbooks devoted to cooking outdoors over wood, charcoal or gas has us fired up. Their color photos and delicious- sounding recipes will have you salivating. Here are recipes from two of them: Good Doggies
