@NJ un-chef
Full-time mom, avid knitter, fiber artist, novice cellist. Cooking isn't my main creative outlet so I keep it pretty basic and practical...things we all like, are easy to fix, not too many ingredients or steps to follow, not too much fat, etc. I enjoy trying new and different dishes but don't necesarily want to cook them myself. Not surprisingly, I have only seven cookbooks: Joy of Cooking, Good Housekeeping Illustrated (both wedding gifts), More With Less, Extending the Table, Every Night Italian, and our most recent: America's Test Kitchen CB and Alton Brown's I'm Just Here for the Food (which were gifts to my husband!) I've owned others but I end up giving them to friends or to our library's book sale. Was glad to find a website like this where I could organize my favorite recipes and search by ingredient. The reviews are really helpful, too.
