My husband came looking for me while we thrift store shopping with an excited look on his face. When he took me to the books, I understood why. Someone had unloaded what looked like an almost complete Time Life set of The Good Cook/Techniques and Recipes, an out of print collection of cook books that teaches how to cook and provides recipes. My holy grail, which I have been trying to complete for probably a decade now. I didn't have my list with me of what titles I already had, so I had to go through them from memory. I ended doubling up only one title, Shellfish, which I'll probably use for another give away sometime down the road. With the addition of the six books we found at Goodwill, I now have 26 of the 27 titles, missing only Wine.
WOW - I never had the whole set. I know you love them and glad you have been able to find them.

I'm so excited. I'm cooking navy beans for a Greek baked bean recipe from one of my new titles as we speak. I love these books.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, and really good you get so much use out of them. I have so many cookbooks that I rarely ever use. I need to start experimenting with recipes more. Maybe I'll have more time this upcoming semester.
