Well lessee. I'm a retired, post 65 male live-alone, self taught but been cooking most of my life, wrote a cookbook for friends http://www.heywired.org/TIMM/cookwoof.htm
Favorite cooking books Cookwise by Shirley Corriher, an old Joy of Cooking, Jeff Smiths The Frugal Gourmet, Julia & Jacques Cooking at Home, and a couple of those private printings.
A Word on How I feel about RATEINGS.
I reserve that fifth star for SUPRISE ME purposes. The new combination. The Idea that I haven't seen before. The spark that elevates a recipie from the ordinary-with-variations. If I don't seem to give a lot of 5s that's why. A 4 is a great taste.
