Cookbooks

If you love cooking outdoors, and want a book that is a true backwoods cooking companion, this is it, Louisiana style. With recipes such as "Old Man Stan's Beer Battered Catfish", "Alligator Cacciatore", and "Quail Jambalaya" this books speaks of yet another American tradition (Cajun cuisine) that has not been given the due respect it deserves. With photos (b/w and color) scattered throughout this book is a must have, for serious outdoor cooking enthusiasts as well as those that just want a great conversation piece for their coffee table.

Here is the absolute end all and be all of vegetarian cooking and vegetable knowledge. The Complete Encyclopedia of Vegetables and Vegetarian Cooking combines some great old favorites like winter casserole with herbed dumplings, grape leaves, and gazpacho with new and exotically named dishes like green lentil kulbyaka and tagliatelle with spinach and soy garlic cheese. The over 300 recipes in this book are outstanding both in their freshness and ease of preparation. It even includes some great "comfort" dishes in full vegetarian cover including shepherdess pie, stuffed squashes, artichokes, eggplants, etc, and chili con queso. Fully illustrated with beautiful step-by-step and finished-dish color photos. The added umph! in this book is an entire section covering 180 contemporary vegetable ingredients including different varieties, how to use and prepare them, how to buy and store - just great all around information. Anyone can get years of use for family dinners and entertaining - it may even replace the Moosewood! Full Vegans be warned - many recipes contain eggs, cheese, and there are fish recipes.
