MY ITALIAN LIBARY WHICH CONTINUES TO GROW.



Having a cold has its rewards. Just a normal one and I was feeling sorry for myself as we all do when we can't do the things we want. However, you can use a computer with little energy or watch a lot of TV. I did both. This cold gave me time to complete my list of cookbooks on the computer. Now they are all on but the big drawback is I don't know where to get a particular book quickly when I want it. I do have the "Italian" sorted from the miscellaneous but that is about it. So when I started to feel like I was going to live, I cleaned off some shelves and reorganized a little. It has helped. Here is my list of Italian titles.  Yes, that is a lot of titles.  I am aware of my obsession, thank you. This is only the Italian lists.  I have more.  I also have binders full of saved magazine recipes.  But lets not go there.

I like the way you present your recipes in such a friendly, folksy way. Nice to have choices and helpful suggestions about ingredients and equipment.

I have that cookbook for ICF. I was published by the Gilroy Branch 28. California of course. If I find it, I will look for the recipe. I have a lot of books. give me your email and that would be easier.

I found the cookbook published in 2002 by Cookbook Publishers, Inc.

No spit recipe. I am sorry to say. Its a large book, almost 280 pages. I find these on Amazon if I look pretty often. I just do a search and up they come eventually.
