Grace, a few comments up in this thread is a comment by Maddie, who was the reader that sent the cookbook to me. If you email her at the address she gives, she can probably arrange for a copy somehow… thanks.

Was wondering where can I buy the namit gid recipe book. I asked my sister to get it at the showroom (my friend said she got hers there) in Bacolod and she said it’s not there anymore. I have the older version maybe 10 to 15 years ago by St scholastica,s Academy and enjoyed it very much. If you please email me at graceforjesus@sbcglobal.net and I will advice my sister where to get the updated one. Thanks.

I’m a cookbook addict myself. Actually am going to post the answers to the cookbook meme about it soon on my blog . I have read Ruth Reichl’s Garlic and Sapphire’s. I would like to recommend Bill Buford’s Heat.

I LOVE cookbooks and have tons of them in addition to foodie mags likes Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Saveur, Food and Wine, etc.! My husband questions what with all the cookbooks and magazines that I have, why in heaven do we eat the same food every week??? I like to read them- not necessarily cook from them! LOL!
One of my very favorite cookbook-Flabreads and Flavors by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid takes you into an extraordinary journey through many continents and the people and their delectable food.

i can totally relate. my books are all about bread and desserts and the science that goes into it. one good find is by James Beard. get a copy of any of his books. he tells story so simply and truthfully that you’d rush up reading a recipe and bake it!!! yah. he’s my favorite. try “Beard on Bread”. i can’t get enough of it. i’ve read it thrice and it really makes me appreciate the art of making AND eating GOOOOOD bread. hey, his recipes are accurate. just play around with the flours. the flours available are not as strong as the ones in the states i think.

Wow, very nice titles! I’m the same way, MM. I have books on my bed, on my night table, on the shelf, in my bathroom, in the car, on the shelf of my TV table, in the kitchen…everywhere! It’s quite a mess, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. :)

That is a gorgeous looking stack you’ve got there! I actually love having my books around me in bed (yes, on the bed beside me)…now that I’m married there is less space for them so they have to go on the night table…

My mom has Teresa Barrenechea’s The Basque Table…we ate her restaurant in NY, Marichu…yummy Leche Frita :)

That “Pig Perfect” sounds, well, perfect!
