i know what you are thinking....
does this woman have a life? i mean really, can a prganant mother of a toddler really get through this many books? she must be a really fast reader!!! wrong - the answer really boils down to the fact that none of our tv addictions have had their fall premier yet, or our next netflix has not arrived in the mail. solution: read!
i really enjoyed julie powell's book on working through julia child's "mastering the art of french cooking." while you get a healthy dose of her life (marriage, work, friends, family), it is all through the lens of working through 524 recipes in the course of one year. it was quite inspiring, actually. i was NOT inspired to repeat her project, but i was more challenged to take a few more risks in my cooking. i had never thought about just trying a recipe or working through a cookbook (skipping of course anything that requires liver or bone marrow) and trying new things. i think there are a few things in child's cookbook that i would like to try like some of her egg recipes - YUM. the one that i am actually more interested in is the "essentials of Italian cooking." it would be the comparable cookbook in italy as "joy of cooking" would be in america or child's book for french cooking. of course, i don't own any of those cookbooks.... there is always the christmas list.
