Since this blog is partially about working my way through my cookbooks, I wanted to list them all. It’s a long list. But it does provide a frame of reference for where I’m coming from when I cook. Because I first got into cooking by watching the Food Network, a channel I still watch a lot, you will see a disproportionate representation of FN celebrity chefs’ books.
