The Cauliflower Cheese stood out in Jamie Oliver’s Food Nation cookbook. I had a really good Cauliflower Gratin at Gotham Steakhouse, and wanted to learn how to make it on my own. Seemed simple enough, but maybe a bit too simple. I did change the recipe a little bit though.
My coworker bought the Eat Like a Man: The Only Cookbook a Man Will Ever Need
cookbook for her husband, but I had the pleasure of looking through it first! I ordered it a few weeks later along with a Jamie Oliver and Michael Smith cookbook. It ranges from easy recipes to ones that take a long time. They provides a difficulty rating for each recipe. It also has lots of tips on cooking, and stories by many celebrity chefs.
I need a quick easy potato dish for Thanksgiving dinner last night, so I went with Chef Michael Simon’s Herb-Roasted Potatoes from his The Best of Chef at Home cookbook. All I did was look at the list of ingredients and decided to make it. Really simple, and not too much labour.
Ever since I had Pommes Puree at McLean’s, I’ve been looking out for it on menus. It was so delciously creamy and buttery. I found a recipe in Tyler Florence’s Ultimate cook book and decided to cook it with a roast that I made. I really like this cookbook a lot, and Beipas and I have put a lot of flags on it. We’ve probably tried 3-4 recipes, and want to try about 10 more. There’s only a few ingredients. The only problem is finding a ricer or food mill.

Iron Chef Michael Symon has a series of recipes showcasing Wisconsin Cheese. We tried a couple of the recipes and we are for surely going to try more. This is a really simple Macaroni and Cheese recipe.
