Which Bayless? I have had .. not a lot of luck cooking from Bayless. Many of his recipes seem fussy, and I've messed them up more badly than p. much any other book I've cooked from.

the mexican cooking tome. it works alright but i think unless you yourself execute them with bayless' own weird robot precision you could probably be using a recipe half as complex for any given thing and taking a quarter of the time and coming out just as well? - the last time i looked at it was just to see what he said about epazote when cooking a pot of beans, though, it's a long time since i did anything real from it

I got a copy of Yotam Ottolenghi's Plenty yesterday - so beautiful, and all the recipes sound delicious.

I still love it - though I don't cook from it much, it's great to look at and think over. Everything I've tried has been quite good.

oh, i've looked at and drooled over that Jerusalem cookbook. my evil step-mother has it and i shoulda taken it when i had the chance.xpostJust picked up a inexpensive copy of Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking by Julie Sahni (1985). Looking forward to making things out of it obvs. But was just casually flipping through pages in reverse order and came across Sunflower Seed Fudge, or the Road to Nirvana and she writes:The intoxicants primarily consist of bhang, or hashsish, ganja, and charas from the hemp plant. . . and affeem from the opium plant, Papaver somniferum.
probably shouldn't attempt to source these but omigod, India!

my mum has a couple ottolenghi ones which i really like. i think she's never cooked from them. i just take photos with my phone of the best looking recipes.
i should probably start actually buying myself cookbooks tho, there's something very satisfying and useful to me about leafing through something looking for dinner inspiration. more than browsing websites or googling for me

xp. that sunflower seed fudge sounds good!
i've had a ottolenghi recipe bookmarked for a few weeks and just haven't bothered yet. it sounds at once weird and interesting, beet, caraway, and goat cheese bread. i'm missing nigella seeds for that but think i'll forgo thosexp
