Me too, I read cookbooks like novels:) I recently received one I treasure. Apparently, when my parents first married my mother's menu was...shall we say limited? (Funny, I remember her always being an outstanding cook!) My Great Aunt Mae, who died on my first birthday, bought Mom a cookbook which had always been in the top drawer of Mon's kitchen, to the left of the sink under the dish towels. Now, as far as cookbooks go, it's not particularly noteworthy. It wasn't written by a famous chef and it doesn't have the glossy photos of seductive landscapes we've all grown accustomed to in modern cookbooks. Instead, it is well worn and tattered, held together w/ rubber bands, the binding is shot, flour stains many pages and there is the odd collection of hand written and cut out recipes on slips of paper throughout. On a torn piece of notebook paper, someone (me!) had practiced writing her numbers and that too found its place with all of the other memories. It wouldn't fetch $1 at a yard sale. On her last visit up, Mom gave the "the book". Guess what you'll find in one of my kitchen drawers to the left of the sink under a few dish towels?

My 89 year old mother is a cookbook collector. She reads them like most people read novels. She needs one. She is also of German heritage. I don't know what that means, I just thought I'd throw that in. Gary in wis **************AOL Search: Your one stop for directions, recipes and all other Holiday needs. Search Now.
