I am disappointed to hear about the Foods You Crave being in tiny font:( I was looking forward to getting a copy now I'm not so sure. I already read with spectacles to help enlarge the print!
Thanks for the info, Cathy

Even with my glasses it was hard for me to read.
I wonder why on earth they would print a book with that type of fond.

I HAVE AN IDEA JG, WE NEED TO PUT A LITTLE PRESSURE ON THE PUBLISHERS OF THAT PARTICULAR COOKBOOK TO HAVE THEM ENLARGE THE PRINT OR AT THE VERY LEAST MAKE A LARGE PRINT EDITION AVAILABLE.
MAYBE THEY CHOOSE THE SMALLER PRINT TO KEEP DOWN ON PUBLISHING PRICES:confused: BUT WE ARE THE PURCHASING PUBLIC AND IF THEY WANT DECENT REVIEWS AND MORE FOLKS TO PURCHASE THEIR BOOK THEY WILL COMPLY! I WILL NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT THEM AND REQUEST BIGGER PRINT (WE COULD THROW IN A LITTLE EQUAL RIGHTS FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED STATEMENT THAT MIGHT GET THEIR ATTENTION:)
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

Hi again JG,
I just got another idea, I went online to the Good Cook Book book club, and picked out my 4 books to join, but something went wrond on-line when I tried to submit mt order and register. So I logged out and am waiting to do it later. Now I have a question.....because you are a member can't you get a credit by recommending a friend? Maybe if I wait and the you let me know when to register under you you'll qualify for a free cook book or something? You know what I'm talking about. Because you really did recommend it to me and you should get the credit for it.
Let me know what you think...
Cathy
P.S. I am ordering
1) Great Country Inns of America Cook Book 4th edition
2) New Greek Cusine
3) Flavors of Morocco
4) Mediterranian Grilling
Don't these sound great! I love Middle Eastern Cusine!!! Have you ever had it? I used to visit this restaurant in Mobile, Alabama named the New Jerusalem Cafe, and they had the most awesome food- so beautifully flavored!
P.S.S. Well dog-gone it I went and checked my e-mails and there was a confirmation from GCBC that my order was received??? Oh well I just thought it errored off. Well I thought it would be fun for you to get credited with my membership, sorry I wasted your time.

Interesting selections, Cathy.
I'm in the midst of a major project dealing with the cuisines of the "other" Meditarranean---that is, the countries on the eastern and southern shores.
You're right: Mideastern food is spectacular. But don't confuse it with North African. Although there are similarities, and many of the same influences (particularly Turkish), they're really quite different. Morrocan food, particularly, is in a class by itself.
Enjoy the books. And the dishes you cook from them.
