Fictional cooking

Heidi Swanson's cookbook arrived today.
It was recommended by the Gluten-Free Girl. Give her site a peek. She offers so much more than just recipes. She shares bits and pieces of her "new world" with Chef husband and baby.
Just joyful!!!
Oh, did I tell you, I collect cookbooks? Not so much for cooking, but for the stories and pictures. For years I have been reading cookbooks... much like works of Fiction.

Really, who but a Fictional character would go to the ends of the earth to gather exotic ingredients, to spend hours in the kitchen slicing, measuring, mincing, beating, and waiting. And THEN, sacrifice more time in the kitchen cleaning up the mess just made?


Okay, so I have a long way to go in embracing the cooking world and it may not be an easy task.


But, I am determined to move my cookbook collection to the Non-Fiction section of my life and give it a whirl.
