4-Hour Chef By Timothy Ferris

I most probably don’t need another cookbook because I already have a lot of those sitting in my baker’s rack but I’m always open to buying a new one that I think is interesting enough and will teach me new recipes and tricks in the kitchen. I saw this 4-Hour Chef book from Tim Ferriss blog and it sure caught my attention.

4-Hour Chef could actually be the 2nd installment of Tim Ferriss’ book 4-Hour Body. People who bought it wanted to know more so they’ve clamored for healthy recipes, and anything else they could learn to help them in the kitchen and continue with a healthy lifestyle. This is how 4-Hour Chef came about.

The book showcases techniques in the kitchen that any novice could learn in just a matter of time, and delicious recipes to make with ease. 4-Hour Chef has been called as the cookbook for people who doesn’t like buying cookbooks. I’m a passionate homecook who wants to learn as much as I can in cooking and get more ideas in dishes that my family and I could enjoy. Hey, the halthier the recipes, the better. I would love to have a copy if this book sometime. If you do too, check out Amazon for purchase.

I Watch Too Much Cooking Shows

top-chef-2009-calendarThe amount of food and cooking shows I watch on TV would probably make anyone who doesn’t spend 5 minutes in the kitchen cringe. In my defense, these cooking shows are on while I’m working (hehe). FoodTV network would seem like it’s on 24 hours a day. Not at all. I still have Soaps On ABC to watch during the day :) . Without having to painstakingly explain my food and cooking shows obsession, let me just enumerate the ones I watch.

In the September issue of Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food magazine, there’s a recipe for spicy apricot glazed chicken boneless breast. I didn’t want to eat chicken but I wanted to make it so I decided to use pork chops instead. Yes, it’s perfectly fine to change the meat whenever you feel like it. There’s no law against it at all. :)

ANOTHER CUPCAKES BOOK

feistycook-cupcakes-cookbook

The truth is, I really don’t need another cookbook, let alone a cupcakes cookbook since making cupcakes is not rocket science. to me anyway. But I saw how beautiful this Cupcakes recipe book from Books-A-Million last weekend and I just could not resist. The cover made me drool. If I could’ve licked those frosting off of the cover, I would have. Well, I’m sure I’ll learn new cupcake recipes and frosting tips from it. I know my son has been bugging me for a “cupcake date” in the kitchen when he saw the book.
