The Anti-Pasti Sun-Dried Tomatoes have become a regular part of my life, and the Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies is my favorite cookie recipe ever.

I don't dig cookbooks without photos.  This book is the exception.  The recipe titles were intriguing enough, and every recipe tried has been a success. 

Learn how to cook and eat like a French person: not fancy, but with appreciation of fine ingredients and time-honored traditions.

Want to do Cajun and Creole cuisine right?  This is what you need.

My go-to tomato sauce recipe, used for pasta and pizza, came from this book.  I enjoyed reading about the traditions as much as experimenting with the recipes.  Dig the old-school photos!

I cook from this book very, very often.  Enough said.

The Tomato Vinegar is a staple in our home - great with fried seafood and any kind of eggs.

Can't find it anywhere else?  You will find it here.

Gorgeous photo book as well as cookbook.  Some gardening advice for good measure.  Companion book to the "Jamie at Home" TV show that I could watch over and over.

My husband has lived in Mexico and introduced me to the real deal Mexican food.  When we want to recreate something we find there, Rick has already provided us with the most authentic recipe version.  Trust him.

The price of the book is worth the Navajo Eggplant and Fiscalini Farms Cheddar Cheese and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Soup recipes alone.
