If any of you are into cook books and passionate about the art of cuisine....I recommend Nigella Lawson's books on food and cooking. She really takes it beyond a simple meal..to putting passion into your cooking....and also how to enjoy and apprecaite good food. It becomes a full experience.
I love "How to be a Domestic Goddess," "How to Eat," and "Nigella Bites"
