I selected another new-to-me (USED) cookbook tonight. This one was a mere 28 cents- plus $3.99 S&H. looked like a fun read to me!

Amazon.com: Chef's Story: 27 Chefs Talk About What Got Them into the Kitchen (9780061241222): Dorothy Hamilton, Patric Kuh: Books

sounds like a very interesting read
kevin!

That sounds like a very interesting book.
I got the two I mentioned ordered today. I am really looking forward to them.

'Vogue' food critic and food w riter Jeffery Steingarten who wrote "The Man Who Ate Everything" offers a fantastic essay in the book (first link below) about Sushi, Sashimi and Kobe Beef that is colorfully written and makes one hunger for food and travel in Japan. He references Shizuo Tsuji's classic "Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art" (second link below) and I think he's compelled me to expand my almost non-existant knowledge & repetoire of Japanese cuisine by ordering myself a used copy. just in case others may be interested, too!

Amazon.com: The Man Who Ate Everything (9780375702020): Jeffrey Steingarten: Books

Amazon.com: Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art (9784770030498): Shizuo Tsuji, Yoshiki Tsuji, M.F.K. Fisher, Ruth Reichl: Books
