  1. I wanted to thank whoever in this newsgroup (I really don't remember
    who, sorr) recommended Laurie Colwin's "Homecooking". I bought it,
    loved reading it, and definitely cook from it! I subsequently bought
    "More Homecooking" and liked it a lot too. I recently made her rice
    and lemon pudding (slow cooked in the oven in half-and-half), it was a
    hit. She's definitely my type of cook - from scratch, with shortcuts,
    quirky and unformal :-)

  2. Could have been me. I talk about her frequently. But could have been
    somebody else so I won't insist on the credit. Let's just say we both
    like her for the same reasons.

    She turned me on to Jane Grigson, although I've never been able to
    borrow a copy of English Food and haven't wanted to pay the used price
    for it (>$50).

    I picked up a copy of English Food when I was in London 2 1/2 years ago.
    I know I didn't pay $50 for it. (This was back when the Yankee dollar
    was worth something in Europe. The price in pounds on the back cover is
    19.99.) It's a revised hardback edition copyrighted by Sophie Grigson,
    2002.

    If you email me, I'd be happy to negotiate a loan for a month. I have
    yet to cook anything out of it, but it's an interesting read.

    Yes, indeed, it was you! It was in the middle of a long thread about
    cookbooks I think. Well, thank you!
