In yesterday's post, I listed some of my favorite cookbooks, books that help me answer the question "What's for dinner?" That question is really important when you're the one of dinner duty, because if you don't know the answer to that question, dinner could be tricky.
Here are two more of my favorites.
Serving Up the Harvest: Celebrating the Goodness of Fresh Vegetables, by Andrea Chesman, © 2005, 2007 Storey Publishing. This cookbook is perfect for those times you have a fresh vegetable, but don’t know what to do with it. The book organizes the 175 recipes by season, which is incredibly valuable if you have a backyard garden, or belong to a CSA (community supported agriculture), or both. One of my favorites is Penne with Chard and Sausage (p. 167), which works well with beet greens, too.
Crowd-Pleasing Potluck, by Francine Halvorsen, © 2007 by Rodale Inc. This cookbooks is a big help when you’re cooking for a crowd, be it a potluck dinner at church, or many friends and/or family coming over for dinner. The Lemon Bars (p. 212) are particularly good.
Soon I'll post some tips for how to choose cookbooks that are right for you.
