Cookbook Experiment
01 Sep 07 | by Lorraine in: Baking, Cooking, Delicious Food Blogs, Experiments
Inspired by Julie and Julia- which I started reading a few days ago- and the ambitious French Laundry at Home, I’ve decided to embark on a “cookbook experiment” of my own.
For those unfamiliar with the two projects I mentioned above, these were ordinary women who chose challenge themselves by cooking every single recipe in their cookbook of choice: for Julie, it was the old classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child, and for the latter it’s the new classic The French Laundry Cookbook
by Thomas Keller. These women are amazing, and I can only hope that I prove to be as determined as they are.
I haven’t decided yet which cookbook I’ll be using. Here are some I’m considering:
- Feast: Food to Celebrate Life
by Nigella.
- Molto Italiano: 327 Simple Italian Recipes to Cook at Home
by Mario.
- The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
by Ina.
Which one gets your vote?
Nigella’s book definitely gets my vote… I love her!!!

Thanks, G- “Feast” certainly looks fun. Since it’s mostly party food, it holds the promise of many dinner parties to come!

Thanks, Salinger- Mario’s Molto Italiano is a tough one- it certainly looks like it’ll be harder to get through than Feast or Barefoot Contessa.
