Rolex Buys Rolex Watches To Prevent Price Drops
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
It is no secret that Rolex is a cash rich company. It is not likely a huge impact for them to be buying back inventory which will likely be warehoused until future times when things are better for the luxury watch market. I would go so far as to say that it is probably in Rolex's best interest to dismantle and recycle unsold watches than to release them at below market rates (that they set). Further, you might be wondering why dealers are all selling back to Rolex in the first place rather than discounting and potentially getting more money. This would likely conflict with their authorized dealer contracts with Rolex. Plus, Rolex likely has a redemption right - that allows it to buy back stock under certain circumstances. For you, this means less chance that your dream Rolex watch is going to be discounted any time soon. Pictured is a 2009 Rolex Datejust watch with Arabic numerals.

Computation Job Management (jobman) is a program that calls executables according to a given program flow. Each executable is run in a separate process. It is useful when a project needs to carry out a series of calculations that are performed by software written in different languages or supplied by third parties, but invoking individual programs manually is error prone and hard to manage. The various individual programs don't communicate with each other except via persistent storage. This is especially the case for some scientific computing, quantitative finance, and prototyped programming.

A reviewer can add comments to a patch, approve it, or reject it. Comments are sent to the requestor via email. If a patch is approved, the requestor can commit the code. When the code is committed, email is sent to the requestor and reviewers for notification.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Welcome to Tel Aviv!. Enjoy this evening's welcome dinner with your traveling companions and Tour Director. (Dinner)
Drive into the ancient land of the Philistines and in the Valley of Elah. Stop at the site of David's victory over the Philistine champion, Goliath, and hear about this biblical event.

Continue along the Mediterranean shore and stop in Jaffa for a walk through the beautifully restored ancient port, where medieval pilgrims started their strenuous 2-day trek to Jerusalem. Return to Tel Aviv. (Breakfast)

On to Nazareth in Galilee to visit the contemporary CHURCH OF THE ANNUNCIATION. Next, travel on to Cana, site of the first miracle where Jesus changed water to wine at a wedding.

Time to relax before dinner. This evening, you are invited for a LECTURE ON KIBBUTZ LIFE. (Breakfast, Dinner)

Then, visit the ancient city of Bet She'an with its fine ROMAN and BYZANTINE RELICS. The city is located at the foot of Mount Gilboa, where King Saul and his son died by their own hands in battle with the Philistines. On the way to Jerusalem, stop for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Holy City, considered one of the oldest places in the world, with a history dating back as far as 4000 BC. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Drive through the Judean wilderness to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on the surface of the Earth. Enjoy the scenery as you follow the road between the salty water and majestic desert mountains. Catch glimpses of the caves of Qumran, where the precious Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Ascend by cable car to the spectacular cliff-top FORTRESS of Masada, and hear how 960 Jewish zealots preferred death at their own hands to the indignity of surrender to overwhelming Roman forces. Around lunchtime, reach one of the comfortable Dead Sea resorts. You will have plenty of time here to experience the feeling of buoyancy in the heavy water. Then, back to Jerusalem. (Breakfast, Dinner)
After a panoramic view from the MOUNT OF OLIVES over the old and modern parts of the city, start your guided walking tour. Via the Chapel of Dominus Flevit, where Jesus wept over Jerusalem, arrive at the GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE. Here, see the Rock of Agony, where Jesus prayed his last prayer before his arrest. Nearby are the Caves of the Assumption of Mary and of the Betrayal. Follow the Stations of the Cross along the VIA DOLOROSA to Golgotha, and visit the CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE.

Full day of guided sightseeing in Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World®. Lost to the world for centuries, it is located in the biblical land of Moab. Enjoy an unforgettable experience as you walk down the SIQ, the narrow gorge made famous in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Stand in awe in front of the iconic and famed TREASURY.

Dr. Joseph Murray of the Mayo Clinic says the problem with diagnosing the autoimmune disease is that it's "hiding in plain sight."
An estimated 1% of the American population is living with celiac disease, but 83% of them are either misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. While the recommended blood test for celiac disease, the tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG-IgA), is fairly accurate because of its high sensitivity and specificity, celiac disease still remains undiagnosed in many people. The problem, says Dr. Joseph Murray, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, is that celiac disease is "hiding in plain sight."
Dr. Murray believes celiac disease is a "disease of the masses," but it is not being recognized by clinicians because of the many ways the autoimmune disease can present itself. He recommends testing people for celiac disease if they fail to respond to treatment for conditions like osteoporosis and infertility. Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome and other autoimmune disorders (among other conditions) should alert doctors of the possibility of celiac disease.
Interestingly, Dr. Murray thinks celiac disease testing will become routine in the future. In an article shared on the Mayo Clinic website, Dr. Murray said, "We're amassing more evidence to suggest that we have to screen people rather than just waiting for the disease to become apparent."
The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) encourages people who think they may have celiac disease to take the Celiac Disease Symptoms Checklist and talk to their doctor about testing.

Sort By :
Excellent taste and so easy to make. I add extra salsa and some chili powder because I like spicy. This recipe also keeps well in fridge and is easily warmed in microwave wrapped in a tortilla. Great to take for lunches.
Wonderful blend of flavors! And easy to make! I made a vegan, no-cholesterol version using Daiya cheddar cheese and Tofutti sour cream. I also added some lightly browned seitan, for extra protein and chewiness.
Wonderful blend of flavors! And easy to make, even for a weeknight! I made a vegan, no-cholesterol version using Daiya cheddar cheese and Tofutti sour cream. I also added some lightly browned seitan for some extra protein and chewiness.
Fast, easy, and healthy! I add a little low-sodium taco seasoning and pepper flakes to enhance the flavor. This recipe is one of our favorites!
Very good. I added a table spoon of taco seasoning. My husband used the left overs to put in his morning omellete

This page offers some suggestions for access to live music, concessionary ticket schemes, ideas for accessible venues and finally organisations who might be able to offer live music in your own home.
If you want an overview of what's on in your area, try your local radio or a local Talking Newspaper.
Artsline Artsline is the UK's leading disability access website, providing searchable information on over 1,000 arts venues across London. Artsline provides up-to-date information via a newsletter on physical access and aids for people with disabilities at all of London's arts and tourist venues. Artsline's online database has the disabled access information to over 1,000 venues in and around the Greater London region, plus every cinema in the United Kingdom.
Telephone: 020 7388 2227 Email: email@example.com
Attitude is Everything aim to improve Deaf and disabled people's access to live music by encouraging the music industry to adopt the Charter of Best Practice. Accessibility is monitored by a national network of Mystery Shoppers who assess the access at live music festivals and venues across the UK, as well as running regular Club Attitude nights in accessible venues, showcasing Deaf and disabled artists to a mainstream audience.
Shape Arts Tickets Scheme provides a social lifeline to disabled and older people, offering them chance to access the best entertainment and arts events that London has to offer.
Members of the scheme receive a regular newsletter which gives details of discounts at various London venues for elderly people, people with learning or physical disabilities, or those recovering from mental illness, and who live in London. Volunteer drivers and escorts are available for those with mobility difficulties. Annual membership of the scheme costs £10.00 for individuals and £20.00 for groups.
Telephone: 020 7700 0100 Email: email@example.com

RNIB Box at the Royal Albert Hall Since 1929 The RNIB has had a box at the Royal Albert Hall, offering tickets to blind and partially sighted people at subsidised prices.
Many music venues offer concessionary ticket prices or 'Two for the price of one' schemes, whereby an escort goes free. Check with box offices first. Where no formal system is in place, it might be worth asking the venue if they can come to an arrangement.
Not all venues set their own ticket prices. Concert promoters frequently set ticket prices, particularly at non-classical music venues. If you have any queries relating to tickets, and the venue is not responsible for pricing, they should be able to put you in touch with the promoter.
The following is not an exhaustive list and are simply suggestions.
Cathedrals Through Touch and Hearing provides cathedrals with special features for blind and partially sighted people, which enable them to appreciate the history, architecture and spirituality of the building through senses other than sight. All centres have a tactile wooden model and plan of the building, a cassette commentary to accompany the plan, a braille guidebook and a personal stereo with cassette. The following cathedrals have a Touch and Hearing centre:

Low-income Chicago students to get low-cost broadband
By FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter email@example.com May 31, 2011 9:44AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel visits Lindblom Math & Science Academy High School after Comcast announcement. Mayor Emanuel with student Alandrea Mosley in Computer lab, Monday, May 31, 2011. | John H. White~Sun-Times.
Article Extras
Updated: September 11, 2011 12:22AM
The digital divide that has left nearly 40 percent of all Chicagoans with little or no access to the Internet is about to narrow for 330,000 needy students. On Tuesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel joined Comcast in announcing, "Internet Essentials," a first-in-the-nation program designed to provide high-speed Internet services for the families of Chicago Public School students who qualify for free school lunches. Comcast normally charges $48.95-a-month for broadband Internet service. Under the new program, eligible families will be able to get that service for $9.95-a-month with no installation or service fees. In addition, eligible families will get technology training and a coupon to purchase mostly refurbished computers valued at up to $500 for $150. The program will launch with the start of the next school year and continue for at least three years. The partnership with Comcast is one piece of a comprehensive plan to increase Internet access in inner-city Chicago neighborhoods. "This will ensure that every part of this city has a chance to grow in the new economy. And Chicago will lead the country in dealing with this economic and social divide issue," Emanuel told a news conference at the Woodson Regional Library, 9525 S. Halsted. "If a parent signs up a child at kindergarten or first-grade, Comcast will stay with that child all the way through to high school and that access. It's a tremendous investment that no other city is gonna experience. ... But, at the end of the day, the parent has to do one thing that no other program can do: Show initiative. Be the parent." Comcast Executive Vice-President David Cohen cited three primary causes for the digital divide: cost, fear of the Internet and a lack of understanding about the relevance of technology. The new program addresses all three. "So many of us take Internet access for granted. ... I wish that were true for every household in Chicago, but it's not. ... Other communities enjoy broadband adoption rates that are two- and three- and four-times the adoption rates in Washington Heights and Roseland. … That's just not fair," Cohen said. "We want to mirror what's available in wealthier communities ... by pairing broadband access in the home with broadband access in libraries and in schools so that all kids — regardless of the neighborhoods where they live — have the same access and capacity to work on the Internet for their school work, for their career search, for their entertainment, for their health care needs, for their ability to access government programs, for their e-mail and communication needs." Former Mayor Richard M. Daley tried to bridge the digital divide, only to hit a roadblock. Four years ago, rising costs, declining demand and increased competition from private Internet providers killed Daley's ambitious plan to build a wireless Internet access system attached to streetlights and lamp poles. Instead, Daley designated five impoverished Chicago communities as "digital excellence demonstration communities." The plan to flood Englewood, Auburn-Gresham, Chicago Lawn, Pilsen and Humboldt Park with technology was hailed by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski as model for the nation. The plan also proposed wireless internet access along a 26-block stretch of 63rd Street, free refurbished computers as an incentive to complete technology training, Family NetCenters and Community Craigslists to support local businesses.

Warm weather is upon us and the early spring green-up is slowly adding color to the woods again. Turkeys have been gobbling and turkey hunters are deep into the 2011 season.
Once your calling has been fine-tuned, safety is the next concern. According to Judd Brooke, president of Wildlife Mississippi, "Wildlife Mississippi is trying to raise awareness of turkey hunting safety because it is our view that one hunting fatality in Mississippi is too many."
More accidents occur every year to turkey hunters than in any other kind of hunting. Many of these accidents could be prevented if hunters would obey the Ten Commandments of Firearm Handling – something which every person who has taken a hunter education course should know and practice. While we're on that subject, it's not a bad idea to enroll in a hunter education course, just for a refresher (take along a youngster or hunting buddy). You're never too old to learn about safety.
"Because the hunter must blend in with the surroundings, turkey hunters do not wear hunter orange," said Brooke. Most turkey hunting accidents occur when hunters are mistaken for a turkey. However, there are several things a hunter can do to prevent such a tragedy from happening:
(1) There are only two kinds of safe turkey hunting: calling the birds in, or standing and waiting. Never try stalking.
(2) Be sure you are completely camouflaged; however, when moving to and from a hunting site, always wear hunter orange.
(3) Pick your hunting spot with a good backrest. A tree or embankment wide enough to completely cover your outline from the rear will protect you from being shot from behind.
(4) If another hunter comes near, call out in a calm voice. Don't shout, whistle, stand or wave and especially don't give a turkey call. Keep your distance from other hunters.
(5) Use only hen decoys. Place the decoy so you are safe from shots by other hunters. Position yourself either to the front or rear of the decoy. If the decoy is shot from the sides (the most likely angle) you will not be in the line of fire.
(6) Always practice safe gun handling.
(7) Always carry a harvested turkey out of the woods in a hunter-orange game bag.
The Wildlife Mississippi President offered one final reminder, "When you are in the woods this spring, make every effort not to throw trash on the ground. If you see trash in the woods or on the ground at the parking area, pick it up, put it in your pocket or throw it in the back of the truck."
Have a safe and successful remainder of the turkey season.

The Wiko Wax delivers Tegra 4i, a 5-megapixel front camera, and hits Europe in April (hands-on)
BARCELONA, Spain -- French phone developer Wiko will be one of the first out of the gate with an Nvidia Tegra 4i-based device. Its Wiko Wax smartphone will hit European markets sometime this April. No word yet on price or if the phone will eventually be available in the US.
The Wax looks and feels like typical Android phone fare; black, moderately thin, but also light. The phone will ship with Android 4.3 initially, but Nvidia tells me it will be upgraded to 4.4 soon after.
The specs are also squarely mainstream: 4.7-inch screen, 1,280x800 resolution. … Read more

What cookbooks have you bought recently, or are you lusting after? December 2012 edition [OLD]
This promises to be a banner holiday season for us devoté(e)s of the genre...the NYT lists feature several that I want (and quite a few I have already, some of the more interesting ones in the supplementary list).
In addition, the Nancy Baggett "Simply Sensational Cookies" is well worth the baker's attention.
I live in fear of the best British books lists coming out.
What's on your list???
Happy New Year!!! Here we go again...
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8842... -
I put 2012 book purchase summary thread here:
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/883769Looking forward to reading about your experiences :)
I got an iPad under the tree, so I treated myself to a kindle edition of Jerusalem. I know I will cook from this book and participate in the COTM. If I can tolerate cooking with it, I will no longer have to purge cookbooks, or hesitate on buying new ones because I have no space. Definitely not kind to my wallet.
First impression is that there are things lacking in the kindle edition. I can't find an index, simply a list of recipes. (Do e-cookbooks usually have indices)? In the recipe for poaches chicken with sweet spiced freekah, there is a link to cucumber with yoghurt. However the link took me to a fattoush salad. I used EYB to double check there definitely a yoghurt with cucumber with a different list of ingredients. And then I look up the alphabetical list of recipes to find it. Because there isnt an index, i cant look up by cucumber. This i found, is a very convoluted way to cross reference.
I noticed kindle does social notes and three people have highlighted he roasted butternut squash and red onion with tahini and zatar. This can't be a coincidence and they must be all chow hounds!
re: lilham
I agree with Caitlin that the highlighting feature is quite cool, but in all other ways it sounds like the publisher failed to think about how you would actually USE the kindle version of the cookbook, making for a rather frustrating experience for you, lilham. I can't believe they'd get rid of the index!
re: DiningDiva
No, I'm actually pretty electronically inclined. I'm actually posting this using my Galaxy Tab :-)
The issue for me is that I don't find the Kindle versions of cookbooks very user friendly. The table of contents and index are not easily accessible and they aren't especially made for simply just flipping through to find an interesting recipe. My friend as a full sized iPad, my Kindle - and even this Tablet I'm using now - are half the size. I think this is a case where size *does* matter.
I've been using Pepperplate to store my frequently used recipes. I access that via desk top, tablet & smart phone, and bring recipes up on my tablet in the kitchen. I love Pepperplate for that function, but that is one recipe at a time. My dislike for Kindle cookbooks my also stem from how I use cookbooks more than how I cook from them. It just doesn't work for me :-(
re: DiningDiva
I agree with you DD. I bought the Nigella Lawson COTM How to Cook for my iPad, and I found that using it was enormously clunky. Unless I live abroad again and don't want to schlepp books, I don't think I will buy another digital cookbook. When I was living in Cairo and just had my Kindle, I had bought Wolf Hall to read. I could never finish it on my Kindle because it was the kind of book that required a certain amount of flipping back and forth. I feel the same way about cookbooks, which is why I don't care for them in this format.
Santa fulfilled my list and brought me:
Smitten Kitchen
Vietnamese Home Cooking
Fish with a DoubtI gave my husband Charcuterie by Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn.
I had hopes of getting Jerusalem from my sister but she had bought it for herself while she was spending the weekend with us. I mean really?
For my birthday back in early November, I received a few cookbooks that were on my list. I highly recommend them:
Bean By Bean (Crescent Dragonwagon): I'd have wanted this just for her name...but the recipes are wonderful and varied. Plus she has recipes for everything from Greek green beans to Socca. I've made a few of the recipes and they were all delicious
http://www.amazon.com/Bean-By-Cookbook-Recipes-Savory/dp/0761132414/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356542740&sr=8-1&keywords=bean+by+beanPressure Perfect by Lorna Sass: This is a bible of using the Pressure Cooker. I love it. I cook all the beans for the Bean By Bean recipes in the cooker now. I've made her quick stew recipes as well. Really useful book.
And another Lorna Sass book, Whole Grains, Every Day, Every Way: This is a fantastic reference for cooking with every kind of whole grain imaginable. Instructions, ingredient information, and delicious recipes (not only vegetarian, but also meat with grain sides). If you've ever wondered what to do with Millet, this is the book for you.
re: mwk
I've been a huge fan of Lorna Sass for many years. I lived in a travel trailer doing seasonal work in order to see the country in the late '80's early '90's. Her works on pressure cooking were incredibly useful and I loved being able to have "long cooked" dishes with out heating up a small space for hours and hours. Plus it was a fuel efficient method - handy when living in the boonies and having to tank in your water and propane!
Keep an eye out for Crescent's cornbread book. She does a nice job of providing such depth and flavor within a seemingly narrow topic.
Under the tree from my husband was the Buchon Bakery book (I love that the recipes are given in grams because I feel that it is the best way to replicate the results), Tacos, Tortas and Tamales, and Canal House Cooks Everyday and SPQR (both actually given to my husband by the publisher, but still mine!). I gave my Husband Jamie's Great Britain and Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking. All in all, lots of good cooking/reading ahead!
Seasons Greetings Everyone!
Here are the books I found under my tree this morning:
Eleven Madison Park - Humm & Guidara
Three Sisters Around the Greek Table - Bakopoulos sisters
Modern Flavors of Arabia - S. Husseini
Maggie's Harvest - Maggie Beer
The River Cafe Classic Italian Cookbook - Gray & Rogers
Once our dinner clean-up is complete I'm looking forward to settling in on the couch with a glass of eggnog and Maggie's Harvest. Though all these books were on my Amazon wishlist (that Santa, such a clever shopper!), I'm most excited about this one.
re: Breadcrumbs
Sounds like a great haul!
Do let us know how you make out with Maggie's Harvest; I'm excited for you that you got a Maggie Beer cookbook! I love her & it's on my bucket list to eat at her little cafe whenever I finally do my Barossa Valley wine holiday. I've had good luck with the recipes I've tried in Maggie's Verjuice Cookbook & have acquired Maggie's Kitchen too though I haven't cooked anything yet.
I've just picked up Jerusalem and a copy of Japanese Farm Food :) I'm about to buy Canal House Cooks Every Day, and Burma - I'm waiting to see whether any Christmas/post-Christmas cookbook sales come up (if they're any good, I'll grab Ratio, The Flavor Bible, and Gran Cocina Latina as well, I think, and maybe Modernist Cuisine at Home).
My brother gave me "Hazan Family Favorites". I had it on my Amazon wishlist based on some recommendations I read here on Chowhound. I haven't had much of a chance to look at it yet, but I flipped through it very quickly and the random pages I saw look great. I'm excited to go through it with my sticky tags :)
I've been doing my best to exercise restraint in the hopes that Santa may have a book or two from my Wishlist under the tree this year. That said, I did order a few books from Abes...mostly used except for:
Jamie Oliver's 15 Minute Meals
Rec'd as a gift:
The Mini Minimalist: Simple Recipes for Satisfying Meals - Bittman
From Abes:
Antonio Carluccio's Italia
Nightly Specials - Michael Lomonaco
Nigella Bites - Nigella Lawson
My copy of Jerusalem just came in. Yay! I had it out from the library and am excited to delve in further.
Other recent acquisitions: chez panisse fruit (I've wanted this for a while and only $3 on amazon) and Diana Henrys Plenty (I was suckered in by the COTM nomination thread, I think it was $10 used).
I bought a couple of books for my husband for Christmas during the last TGC sale, and I threw in the Dahlia Bakery one for myself. On first perusal, it looks to be a good addition to the collection. The two that are wrapped for my husband are Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking, and Jamie Oliver's Great Britain. I didn't really look at either of these two, just chucked some wrapping paper around them ASAP.
I saw this Prashad Cookbook : Indian Vegetarian Cooking on Amazon
and am now seriously lusting after it. The authors run a very popular indian vegetarian resturant in Bradford. There are also recipes from the book on the Guardianhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/oct/23/vegetable-biryani-recipe
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyl...Does anyone have this book and cooked from it?
I'm wondering if anyone here has "Olive Trees and Honey: A Treasury of Vegetarian Recipes from Jewish Communities Around the World" by Gil Marks and has cooked from it.
My mother mentioned that she'd like "a really good Jewish vegetarian cookbook," and Olive Trees and Honey gets extremely high reviews on Amazon: 38 five-star reviews and 4 three-star reviews (and the three-star reviews ding it for lack of photos and not being vegan-friendly enough). Very interesting-looking mix of recipes, with majority Sephardic, it seems.
I'm also interested in any other recommendations. She is interested in a vegetarian-oriented book rather than one with meat but lots of veg options.
Santa (er.. my best friend.. who is actually an Orthodox Jew) brought me Baked Elements, the latest from the Baked boys. Organized by flavour, including one of my favourites.. malted milk! Can hardly wait to break into this...
re: buttertart
I think we are good BT; expect lots of book news after Christmas presents are revealed :) It would be nice to have 2012 summary - the best books that we acquired through the year. I am frightened to even think how many new (to me) books I added to my library during this year and how few I actually cooked from.
re: buttertart
I agree with Herby, I think we're good here up until Dec. 26th :-)
I also like her idea of doing a 2012 Cookbook summary thread. I think we've all got some cookbooks that were better purchases than others. I'd like to hear how people feel about some of their purchases this year.
And thanks for marshalling these threads along. While they've been like Kryptonite to me, I've also enjoyed them immensely!
I thought that the cookbook fanatics and Ottolenghi fans here might enjoy this Q&A with him: http://diannej.com/blog/2012/12/qa-wi...
I've been waiting for quite a long time for this book & it finally arrived while I was on vacation. "My Basque Cuisine" by Ash Mair. Ash was the winner of the UK's "Masterchef: The Professionals" last year (my favourite TV show, though I have to jump through major hoops to be able to watch it here in Vancouver). I have never really cooked Spanish food before, never mind Basque-inspired Spanish food so this is a totally new area for me. The book is gorgeous, with full colour photos of the food & various beautiful scenes of the Basque region. It's already stuffed full of bookmarks and I'm only halfway through reading it... I sense a tapas/pintxos night in my future.
This week Three World Cuisines: Italian, Mexican, Chinese by Ken Albala arrived in the mail.
I've only had a chance to thumb through it but an eagerly anticipating being able to spend a lot more time reading through it next week. The premise of the book is that these three master cuisines share a lot of commonality not only in ingredients, but in cultural traditions, cooking techniques, methods, history, consumption and cookware/utensils/etc.
Each chapter starts with a discussion/essay about the chapter topic and presents historical, cultural, anthropological - in short ethnographic - detail about the topic. At the end of the chapter are study questions based on the material (this is, after all, a course text book) followed by recipes that illustrate the chapter topic as well. The recipes are fairly easy and are written completely in text format, which is the style in which Gourmet Magazine used to write all their recipes.
re: DiningDiva
Interesting title. My very first cookbook was "The Frugal Gourmet cooks Three Ancinet cuisines: Greek, Roman, Chinese."
I still use the chinese take-out chicken recipe (heavily tweaked) and can recommenda few other recipes. Ole Jeff was sort of a hack, BUT got many a 'hound started.
For those who are fans of the Food 52 Cookbook, I thought I'd mention that Volume 2 is now out:
If you live in an area with an Ollie's Bargain Outlet they have some good cookbooks now! The green cover Gourmet is $6.99. I also noticed the silver Garde Manger by the CIA and Cured by Lindy Wildsmith. Don't recall the prices but they were similarly inexpensive!
I picked up Classic Preserves by Catherine Atkinson and Maggie Mayhew. Much wider array of chutney and marmalade recipes than you find in US books!
Last month I found a few good ones at Garden Ridge:
In the Kitchen with A Good Appetite by Melissa Clark
Simple Food, Big Flavor by Aarón Sanchez-
re: DiningDiva
$5.99 at Garden Ridge!
I like how accessible the book is to a wide level of cooking skills. There are some current and sophisticated recipes. There are also a number of tips regarding ingredients, usage and storage which are included with recipes for "basics" such as seasoning blends, sauces, chorizo, etc. Layout is quite good, lots of nice photo's of the finished dishes, basics are easy to find on green pages.
re: DiningDiva
Interesting. I don't watch much TV, and don't have cable, so I don't get these cooking shows and had not heard of Aaron Sanchez. I have Zarela's Veracruz book, and her Oaxaca book, both of which are among my favorites for Mexican cuisine. But I have the impression that this Sanchez book will be much less traditional. Is that right?
re: nyclibrarian
nyclibrarian, it would be great to hear your thoughts about the recipes in Jerusalem if you feel like adding to this thread dedicated to the book: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/869192
The Seventh Daughter: My Culinary Journey from Beijing to San Francisco: has anyone cooked from this book? Recipes don't look nearly as good as Dunlop's, which doesn't surprise me, but the background story is interesting.
Baked Elements
Rose Petal Jam: Recipes and Stories from a Summer in Poland. Has excellent reviews on Amazon, but I'm wondering whether I should have picked up From a Polish Country House Kitchen instead.
Everybody Eats Well in Belgium. Has been on my list for a while and a $20 "new" version showed up on Amazon, which clearly turned out to have been lightly used.
Having ordered Modernist Cuisine last Spring, when Amazon had it for $461, (regular price $625) and taking six months to slowly read all six volumes and 2400 pages, and learning so much, my holiday present to myself is Modernist Cuisine for Home. Regular price $140, but it's $105 right now and I am checking every day because within the next two weeks I expect it to drop for a few days to around $85-90.
re: JMF
Thanks for mentioning this. I also sprang for Modernist Cuisine, and have been debating whether to get the "at home" book. Just wondering if there will be enough new material there to justify it. Considering what I spend already on cookbooks, most of which are far less informative, I suspect it would be worthwhile.
I would appreciate it if you post up if you see the price drop. I would surely take advantage of it if I could get it for < 100.
re: MelMM
If you haven't read it, this thread is fantastic and all about what is being cooked from the MC:AH book:
re: eperdu
That's a great thread.. Made it halfway through and I'll have to go back to catch up. But it made me decide to hold off on getting MA@H because as soon as I get it I'll have to get a sous vide set up and a pressure cooker, and... a bunch of other toys for the kitchen. I figure before I get it I better set aside around $1000.
The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook arrived last week, and it's pretty enough to put on the coffee table.
There is an excellent cross section of recipes, and luscious photos for each.
I'm a big fan of the SK website, in large part because the recipes come out consistently well.
Also, Deb really understands that visual appeal is a huge part of cooking.
When we see these drool inducing photos, we can't wait to get in the kitchen and cook! -
Went a little crazy buying iPad cookbooks the other day:
Roots, by Diane Morgan - I have a couple books by her, and she seems to be a good recipe writer. Hearing some raving reviews of this book, I couldn't resist.
Foolproof, by Ina Garten - I have none of her previous books and have never seen her show (I don't watch much TV). But I did try one recipe from this book, which was a winner, and after reading the interview posted on the media board, I decided I should give this one a chance.
Gluten-Free Baking for the Holidays, by Jeanne Sauvage - a great selection of recipes. I have been baking gluten free just as long as this author (which is a lot longer than most people writing gluten-free cookbooks these days), and I do disagree with her on some points (I would never include xanthan gum in an all-purpose baking mix, as many recipes don't need it, and are even better off without it). But in general, her recipes look solid, and I really like the selection of recipes she chose for this book. Things like springerle and panettone. Looking forward to working with this book over the next few weeks.
Hiroko's American Kitchen - not sure what I expect here, and I haven't looked through the book yet.
Susan Feniger's Street Food - Haven't looked through this one yet either, but it just sounds appealing.
Smitten Kitchen - Honestly, I have not followed this blog, and when I heard an interview with the author on The Splendid Table I was not impressed. So why on earth buy this book? I don't know... I have heard positive things from people I trust. I have looked through it, and there do seem to be some recipes I would like to try. I would not have bought it in print, but since there was an iPad version that wouldn't take up any shelf space, I went for it.
Not sure if I mentioned these before, but also got...
Vietnamese Home Cooking by Charles Phan - I've been reading through this one and it is a very good read. I also like the way they have adapted this for the iPad with embedded video, slideshows, recipe formats, etc.
The Mexican Slow Cooker, by Deborah Schneider - I've been browsing through this one, and it looks very promising. I've been impressed with the recipes she chose to include and the way they have been adapted to the slow cooker. Haven't cooked anything yet, but am really looking forward to it.
re: eperdu
I do have a problem with xanthan gum, as do many others. It is, after all, a laxative. I find it mind-boggling that a group of people with a digestive disorder (celiacs) so cavalierly add a laxative to their baked goods. So I will not be trying her all purpose mix as written.
I have tested many gluten-free recipes (as I said, I've been at it for a long time now, compared to most), and I've often made side-by-side batches of cookies and other baked goods with and without the xanthan gum, only to find no difference between them. I find in certain applications (cookies, crackers, pie crust, pancakes...) the xanthan gum adds nothing and even detracts from the texture. You do have to adjust the liquid in the recipe, however, if you leave it out. Yeast breads are another another story, but even then, I find most recipes use much more than is really necessary.
Just received "How to Eat" by Nigella Lawson which I bought used in "good" condition. Happy to report that it is an original '98 UK published book. It has shelf wear but was not used at all.The only photo in the book is of young, innocent-looking Nigella on the inside of back cover. The book is a paperback but still heavy because of the paper that was used - absence of a dust jacket kind of compensates :) The title continue to irk me and I bought it solely because of the current COTM. Ever since I discovered COTM I have been a sucker for its books. Some have been amazing and I need to bite the bullet and start getting rid of the "meh" ones. This will make nice NY resolution and I might just go for it.
I just received "Burma" for my birthday. Hadn't even dropped any hints. I guess I have at least one friend who knows me all too well.
I see a number of us have it but haven't found any indication that anyone has begun to cook from it. Anyone?
re: JoanN
Allegra_K's been going gangbusters on "Burma", she started this thread, http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/875497, that's got a pretty impressive amount of the book covered.
Just thought I'd mention that I've started a new thread for sharing "Best Cookbooks of 2012" lists that appear in newspapers, websites, bookstores etc. I came across the NPR list this week along one from our national newspaper. Here's a link to that thread in case you're tempted:
Warning: click at your own peril...you may just want to buy something!!! ; - )
I was afraid to read but am feeling better! With the exception of the old-fashioned Cake book (VINTAGE CAKES) in the first list, nothing here jumps out at me as a must have (I already have BURMA. Maybe cookbook craze is petering out? None of these books are saying anything new to me, at all..
re: jen kalb
It is nice to be content and not tempted, isn't it?
I still have a list and would love to hear people's comments. Here it is:
Vietnamese Home Cooking by Charles Phan
Thai Street Food by David Thompson
Burma: Rivers of Flavor by Naomi Duguid
The Soul of a New Cuisine: A Discovery of the Foods and Flavors of Africa by Marcus Samuelsson
Rustic Fruit Dessers: Crumbles, Buckles, Coblers, Pandowdiesand More by Cary Schreiber
The Hakka Cookbook: Chinese Soul Food from Around the World by Linda Lau
re: roxlet
The Soul of a New Cuisine is wonderful. I reviewed it on the weekly cookbook challenge a while back. I am not good about posting links but I'll try later on.
I am also enjoying Vietnamese Home Cooking. So fare have only made one thing out of it but I have earmarked about 30 others.
Thai Street Food has been on my wish list for some time.
re: herby
Herby - I really, really strongly recommend that you get David Thompson's earlier 'Thai Food' over 'Thai Street Food', if you're after a reference for Thai cuisine.
I own both books - 'Thai Food' is amazingly good, with extremely detailed information about ingredients and technique. 'Thai Street Food' has fewer recipes, is much bigger in size, and has more photos (mostly of Thai food markets/produce stalls). That being said, everything I have cooked from either book has been astoundingly good - I have a better success rate from David Thompson's work than any other cookbook I own.
re: LiamF
Many thanks for your suggestion, LiamF! I considered Thai Food awhile back and than thought that Street Food would be more approachable and easier to cook from while still serve as a referrence to a cuisine I am not familiar cooking. Both books are expensive - I will give it more thought and borrow for a trial run if my library has one or both books.
re: herby
Street Food is slightly less intimidating, but in some ways, it's not as approachable. The reason I say this is that Thai Food is exhaustive - where Thai Street Food might recommend that you fry curry paste in cracked coconut cream, Thai Food will explain what cracking is and how to do it, then explain which tinned coconut creams are easiest to crack, and finally explain how to make coconut cream from whole coconuts.
EDIT : My first cookbook was (and in fact, the first cooking I ever really did was from) Thai Food, so I'm a bit biased here ;)
re: herby
I personally find Thai food to be more approachable than Street Food, both for it's size and the breadth of recipes. Both would be an excellent addition to one's library, but I would give the edge to Thai Food. There is currently a pretty lengthy thread going about cooking from Thai Food and Thai Street Food which still gets added to often, if you haven't already seen it....it's full of excellent information on Thai cooking, with plenty of excellent reviews.
re: herby
My wish has been granted :) Today I received The Soul of a New Cuisine as a holiday present from my daughter and her little family! And so I promissed that when I come back for my next visit I will cook a few African dishes. Now can't wait to get home and start reading this and several other wonderful cookbooks that I acquired while in NYC and about. I will look for dkennedy posting on weekely challenge thread for recipes from The Soul to start with. If any of you have suggestions, please post either here or on a weekly challenge thread below DK post - many thanks!
re: herby
I have Rustic Fruit Desserts. I have only made a couple of things from it, but they turned out very well and there are lots of terrific-looking recipes. There's a little thread on it from a couple of years ago, and posters were very enthusiastic: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/687951
Salt, Sugar, Smoke is already on my Christmas wish list, along with Nigel Slater's Kitchen Diaries II, but I really do have to rein it in I think! No space and not enough time to cook...
re: greedygirl
Kitchen diaries II is available on the kindle too, by the way. I'm seriously tempted but it costs £3 more than the hardcover version! How ridiculous is that? I'm also running out of space on my Billy.
Diana Henry's cook simple, the e-book version, is already on my lust after list.
Just saw my first Alex mcKay book over at a local bookshop. looks great;
re: Westy
There's a discussion on this book a while back
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8637...Let me know if you found something worth cooking from it. It's currently sitting unloved on my bookcase.
re: lilham
Mine too. Funnily enough, I'm just about to post a thread about which COTM's I should dump because I'm planning on doing a major purge of cookbooks. Too many books. Too little time. The McKay book has never been a COTM, of course, but it was the book that made me decide I should do a purge. I'm very sorry what I wrote about the book tempted you to buy it, lilham. Maybe someone else would prove me wrong...
Not a cookbook per se, but a friend gave me a gift this weekend titled "Handwritten Recipes" and subtitled "A Bookseller's Collection of Curious and Wonderful Recipes Forgotten Between the Pages." Each page or spread shows a handwritten recipe (on 3X5 cards, scraps of paper, the front of a guest check); the same recipe in type, with clarifications if needed; and a photo of the cover of the book the recipe was found in with a caption giving title, author, publisher, and date of publication. Although the author did have a small handful of the recipes tested (some worked very well, some didn't), as he says in the intro, he's a bookseller not a cook. The recipes were chosen because they looked interesting for one reason or another: perhaps it sounded delicious or it may just have invoked morbid curiousity. Of particular interest to me is the information on the books in which these notes were found. Many of them are quite old and titles I'd never heard of before such as "Salads, Sandwiches, and Chafing Dish Dainties" by Janet M. Hill published in 1914. Quite charming.
re: JoanN
There is a website for Handwritten Recipes: http://www.handwrittenrecipes.com/
I am pouring through it now.
Geez, it's kind of scary how many of the books on those two NY Times lists I already own. I've really been indulging myself a lot lately with the book buying sprees, I need to focus on using what I have a for a while now. No more book buying for me for the forseeable future.
I mean it.
re: dkennedy
Just came across a recipe for Elephant Walk's Chilled Avocado and Citrus Soup. It sounds amazing, I am wondering if any of you have tried it? It is not in the book...only online. Here is a link:
My supper club will be cooking out of this book later this month and I will report back with our results.
The pecan shortbread I just made from the Baggett book -- irresistible and very easy. Nice technique in it, too, brown the butter and then toast the pecans in it briefly.
re: buttertart
OMG, these look so buttery and melt in your mouth good. Added book to wish list!
ETA...went to amazon to look at this book and this and 2 other recipes were free there.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html... -
re: buttertart
Ms. Buttertart,
Those look splendid. I love brown butter and pecans, so this recipe is calling to me.
I have NB's All American Cookie Book. In that book, she advises you to use the dip and sweep method to measure flour. Is that what she recommends in this new book of hers? If so, I'll note that the wt per cup of flour for this recipe is 5 oz.
Interesting link buttertart. I guess the NYT is really just listing the new-ish books of the season vs reviewing them. I do have Jamie Oliver's Great Britain but haven't even taken a good look at it yet. Ditto for Burma.
Susan Feniger's Street Food is definitely a book I want to check out. I so enjoy her cooking and I love street food so this seems like a great combo.
VINTAGE CAKES has just gone in my Amazon shopping cart. Even though I've given up sweets for the most part, cakes have always been the thing I've most liked to make.
And then there's TART IT UP! (tarts being the thing I've liked to make most after cakes).
Thank you, buttertart (maybe you like making tarts, too).
That "Dirt Candy" looks interesting. I might want to investigate that a little further or hear from a few more folks who know about it.
re: yayadave
Michael Symon's "Carnivore," Julia's "Kitchen Wisdom" and the NY Times' Julia Moskin's "Cookfight" are all on my list for SantaSpouse to pick from. I am especially looking forward to Cookfight, because the original challenge this book is based on was detailed in the Times a couple of years ago, and was such a great read.
Oh, and "How to Eat." which somehow never gets purchased for poor, pitiful moi. Maybe this year. :)
