Damn. It appears this thread has veered right back on-topic. Have you people no self-control at all???

That's great! I can't wait until it's up in the reader's wanted board. I'd love to claim one or two sections!!

And to Ted: No, guess we don't have any self control! :lol:

I've been reading along here without having time to post, but I wasted no time claiming a section (or maybe two) of the cookbook project.

I love eating and the best way to do that well is to cook. I invent a lot of recipes. I have a weekly column of my recipes (and some interesting found ones) on my website. Dinner parties are my favorite events. Along with some friends, I have even have a cookbook in the works.

And on Monday, I'll have 3 kg each of beef and lamb (in large chunks suitable for butchery), delivered from the Australian Meat Packers Association. Whooooo! I see a large barbecue party in my future.

Right after I record my cookery book chapters.

Given how tight space is in Japan, how large a BBQ can you have? :)

Feel free to have your friends help you with your recordings... I don't have a problem with multiple readers in a single file... have fun with it =)

Yes, I saw some of your recipes the other day, Kristen, and they look good! Must try some soon.

Now we don't _need_ to record this (therefore, not entirely on topic), but have you seen this one? http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/930
"The Cook's Decameron: a study in good taste, containing more than 200 Italian recipes" - very interesting book, fiction based on the Decameron, with menus and recipes for them. Uhmmm... sorry, but that would be fun to record, and to listen to because of its structure...

Well, this topic certainly has come along. Little did I know when I made these off-hand remarks about tinned spaghetti... :) However, I should have known. There are foodies everywhere!

Kristen, will you make a Western- or Japan-style BBQ?

Hi All,

I loved reading this thread! :)

As a food writer, food lover and all round foodie, I just wanted to say that you can list ingredients from a recipe. That is not a copyright issue. The instructions, and comments are under copyright.

Also on the subject of cookery books, I inherited my grandmother's Blue Ribbon cookbook, published 1909, and in it, there are instructions for the proper use of different fuels, wood, coal, oil, and peat!

The chapter on food for invalids! a riot! Gruel never made spaghetti-os look so good!

Hi Kri!

I've had a Japan style barbecue.

if it's anything like a Korean style barbcue, you would like it a lot.

They have them on little barbecue pots on tables and it's great.

I'll do that as soon as I return to Canada this summer. I am teaching in Poland right now and the book is in storage.

So maybe it'll be the third project! I am home in July.

Kri- I beleive the Japanese borrow their idea of barbicue from the Koreans. It is called yaki niku which means "grilled meat" You grill the marinated meat on a japnese grill built into the table at yaki niku resturants.

Oh yes, sorry, forgot to reply to this. I don't know much about it, but I thought one of the main differences is that you use paper-thin slices of meat.
