Ever feel like there's just too much information out there and not enough time to read or absorb everything. Well, Zach and I were kind of feeling that way with our cookbooks, cooking magazines and all the online cooking resources. We felt that perhaps we were missing great recipes in our cookbooks or vice versa depending on what we decided to cook. Thus, our latest endeavor was born - to work our way through a cookbook. One caveat is that we don't plan to cook from one source, but will make a conscious effort to get through the first cookbook.
We decided to start basic. We are working through The New Best Recipe from the editors of Cooks Illustrated. In the interest of having meals, we are starting with soups, plan to pair those with salads and then alternate those with the entrees paired with the vegetable recipes. We figure along the way we'll pick up the rest of the recipes, like appetizers and desserts.
If it was you, what cookbook or source would you choose to cook your way through? Perhaps next up for us is the new African cookbook I received for Christmas.
So, check back often and we'll post our progress and the recipes.
