Awesome, it really is my favorite. Plus, Awful Cookbooks: I usually mark up my cookbooks with post-its saying, “Do Not Make This. Ever!”

I think you’ve sold me on this cookbook.

Cookbook to avoid: Nigella Lawson’s How To Be A Domestic Goddess (hey, it was on sale!) – the cookie recipes are god-awfully bad! *gag*

Heather, there definitely is something to be said about late night corn chips and salsa, “don’t eat them with a bowl of cereal”.

Imani, I used to work at a fried chicken outfit when I was a teenager where they served “mozza fries”, what we call poutine here on the prairies. At said chicken place they let employees run a tab that was discounted from their paycheck. Needless to say, I set a new record payday low after the tab was accounted for. Fried Chicken and “mozza fries” will do that to a young lad.

I remember my first year in Canada when I discovered poutine for the first time. I couldn’t get enough and gained about a thousand pounds. Then I couldn’t see one without fleeing in the opposite direction and lost the thousand pounds. Seminal culinary moment in my life.

I’m a cookbook fan and this one sounds just perfect. (There is definitely something to be said for a late night dinner of corn chips though.)
