My First Cookbook

This is my first post since well, the first post! The reason? Well I was finishing up my B.A. in Anthropology, as well as working at my favorite place in the world, and then just relaxing for the first time in years, while job hunting. That never stopped me from cooking though and trying out new recipes so I have a lot to catch you up on.

Although I started cooking when I was on my study abroad term in Italy, I never made the decision to own a cookbook until I moved into an apartment my senior year of college. I purchased this cookbook when I was still a shedding my picky eater skin, so I went for a nice and safe cookbook. Taste of Home: Ultimate Comfort Food is not just a cookbook for picky eaters, but it's a great cookbook all around. Owning a cookbook, especially growing up as a picky eater has been a godsend. It is opened my eyes to new recipes with all of the ingredients I already love and have learned to love (like scallions, I love scallions). One of the first things I did after buying this cookbook was just go through it and put a sticky note on the recipes that looked interesting. Then I made myself have more work by going through and writing those recipes on the sticky notes (if you can't tell - just do this step as you go through), so that it'd be easier to find them. Quite a few recipes that I'll be catch-up posting about are out of this book.

Personally I purchased the book at Books-A-Million in the store however it can also be found online. You can also buy it at Barnes & Nobles or off of Amazon (of course). Happy Cooking!
