Isaac Hayes: Cooking with Heart and Soul

This will be my first in a series devoted to celebrity cookbooks. This idea came to me the other night while watching clips of the Conan O’Brien show and caught an episode featuring Isaac Hayes and his book promotion. Isaac Hayes seduced the audience with his iconic sexy voice as he performed one of those,Continue reading “Isaac Hayes: Cooking with Heart and Soul”

Southern Living 1987 Annual Recipies

I found this book while perusing an estate sale near my house. I found it in a coat closet and knew immediately that this would be making its way onto my blog. This book has 12 months of recipes and include Cooking Light recipes too, so it has all sorts of funny little ditties aboutContinue reading “Southern Living 1987 Annual Recipies”

When I started this blog, I thought, “psh, yeah, I can handle anything” but then I got this book and realizedContinue reading “The New Persian Kitchen”

Nigellissima

I decided that I wanted to try something from someone who I have no experience with. At one point in my life (for 7 years) I was a house cleaner, and I would often see Nigella Lawson books in client’s kitchens. Nigella Lawson is stunning, and all of her books prominently feature her and herContinue reading “Nigellissima”
