A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food
Talking Him Into It - Feeding The Guy
Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes
« Finding Good Wine | Main | More March Reviews »
I'm not usually one for fill-in-the-blanks - when faced with the option of using a system or product that someone else designed or coming up with one that fits my specific needs I almost always opt for the latter (driving my family crazy every time). But when I saw Pamela Barsky's Cooking Journal, it was love at first sight. While I may have decided to write down all my favorite non book-bound recipes, Pamela took that idea and added fabulous features that give you space to write down when you served each dish and what changes you might make or things to look out for next time. While I'm cramming notes into margins and creating a sloppy mess, the lucky people who buy her book will have a neat book with notes that will help them remember all the wonderful dinner parties they threw.
And it's not her only book - she does tons of great journals, everything from museum journals to the "Him" book, a version of the little black book that's finally big enough for the modern woman. While I might not be the type of person who keeps notes about every film I see, I know a few hosts of wine-tasting parties who would love the wine journal, and the restaurant journal would come in very handy for practicing those reviews I want to publish.
Now here's the real question: may I please give up my current food journal and start over with hers?
