Cookbook recommendations

I woke up this morning feeling achy, it's the 75º weather we are experiencing. If I wanted to be cold I would have stayed NOB. I was trying to think of something to blog about, but all I could think of is how much my knees hurt, then I found this Slate article recommending cookbooks to buy as gifts, and one of them is Madhur Jaffrey's World of the East Vegetarian Cooking which I use all the time, I decided to pass the link on to you. I'm no longer vegetarian, I tend to think of myself as an omnivore, but regular cookbooks seldom have interesting vegetable dishes to offer. Besides, you can always add meat to a recipe, it isn't always as easy to remove it.
So enjoy the article, and if you do decide to order one of the great cookbooks recommended, and are buying through Amazon, then please use the Amazon link provided on my blog.
