FF thanks you!
Cecilia Hae-Jin Lee: Eating Korean
I would place this cookbook in my top 10 of all time. The recipes are delicious and each section is packed with the best of Korean home cooking. The stories are wonderful, too. Highly recommend.
Angelo M. Pellegrini: The Unprejudiced Palate
My favorite food-writer by far. A big thanks to childbearinghipster for turning me on to his writing. So inspiring. Start a garden and eat from it!
Irma S. Rombauer: The Joy of Cooking
(not the "All New", the old school one) I don't so much like this for main dish and salad recipes as for baked goods, sauces, and jams. I have my mother's copy, and when I was about 12, my favorite thing to do was to make tea sandwiches from this cookbook. Every weekend I'd make a couple of different kinds until I worked my way through all the spreads and fillings. A good basic cookbook.
Jacques Pepin: Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques
This man has been teaching me to cook (on TV) since I was 9 years old. My Saturday mornings forever have been spent watching him on Public Television. I love him like he was one of my family.
Peter Berley: The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen
My most favorite veggie cookbook, and definitely in my Top 20 cookbooks list.
Anthony Bourdain: Les Halles Cookbook
O how I love this man.
Michael Ruhlman: The Making of a Chef
Not a cookbook, but still a must-read for anyone interested in cooking, chefs, and restaurants like I am.
Jamie Oliver: Jamie's Kitchen
The best of the Naked Chef bunch, IMO.

When Mary Tsao mentioned the creamy brussels sprouts the first time, I sat up and took notice. When she mentioned them a second time, I knew I would be making them ASAP.
ASAP was last night. I cooked up two pounds of sprouts and Bunny, my five-year-old brussels sprouts freak, ate about a pound and a half of them. Next time I think I'll double the recipe and that'll be dinner along with a loaf of crusty bread.
They were creamy and cheesy and nutty and in a word: gooooooooood.

Oh, those sound so good! Yum.
I've been reading for awhile and wanted to say hi. I suspect that I live just a tiny bit south of you. I drove by Grandpa's pumpkin patch the other day... :)

Glad you liked them! The recipe is also good with broccoli. Hey, what *isn't* good with cream and butter?

That dish does look mouthwatering.. I always make mine with shallots and bacon but this might be a good alternative.

These sound really really good, but while my kids are not fans, my husband and I love brussels sprouts, so we will be taking the hint the first time!

I haven't been by for a while...well I think I've quickly been by but I haven't commented...
I am still eating your roasted brussel sprout recipe since you posted it so long ago (at least a year ago) and I LOVE them...in fact, everyone I make them for loves them. I love when people who claim to hate brussel sprouts ask me for your recipe once they've tried them.
So....now I'm curious about this recipe and must try them.

Must admit, it looks excellent, even though I'm not a brussel sprouts fan. I might have to give this one a try.
