Have you ever “read” a cookbook?
Watching the FoodNetwork is entertaining and relaxing. However, there is nothing like reading a good cookbook late at night when the house is quiet. It’s more than relaxing. It’s therapeutic.
It’s not about the structure of meal planning or searching for an exciting new recipe for a potluck. Rather it’s about enjoying the photographs, reading the section headers, identifying with the author’s dilemma of which of a thousand chicken casserole recipes to include. It’s about foods from different eras and different cultures. It’s about ingredients, cooking methods, utensils, etc.
I sensed a kindred spirit when I ran across this blog post.
