Heck, I rarely get a chance to read either, lol...<br /><br />Cookbook Wednesday is a fun way to discover wish list books and like you say, go through the many books we already have. It should be interesting:) ~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696383493674768665.post-91739053789174123952016-04-07T07:43:20.155-04:002016-04-07T07:43:20.155-04:00I have everything by myself, but then again, I am ...I have everything by myself, but then again, I am a bit odd...Poppy Crockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511594971890413159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696383493674768665.post-90369191984798141252016-04-07T06:52:34.472-04:002016-04-07T06:52:34.472-04:00Heh, heh.

I'll have to watch for her collaboration with James Beard because I don't have that. I just love books that let a bit of personality come through.<br /><br />I'm so glad for the return of Cookbook Wednesday. I've been making just about every Wednesday a Cookbook Wednesday anyway. They're kind of addictive because they give me a good excuse to go through my stacks and stacks of books...Poppy Crockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511594971890413159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696383493674768665.post-74461781259807992422016-04-06T10:26:53.954-04:002016-04-06T10:26:53.954-04:00Hi Poppy!!!
Oh it's wonderful to be sharing in...Hi Poppy!!!<br />Oh it's wonderful to be sharing in Cookbook Wednesdays again!<br /><br />You've certainly picked a winner to kick off the event. I don't have this book by Helen Evans Brown. I've been meaning to get it but alas, not yet. I like that she often includes a bite of historical background in some of her recipes. <br /><br />You know, while reading this post, I had to keep reminding myself that she authored a book with James Beard back in the 50s. (that's 1950s, lol) I think it was The Complete Book of Outdoor Cookery. If memory serves me, it was because Beard enjoyed her West Coast Cookbook so much that he invited her to co-author the book with him. Evan Jones wrote about their first encounter in <i>Epicurean Delight: The Life and Times of James Beard.</i><br /><br />I think you have chosen some of her, should I say, questionable selections. Although, for the time, I'm pretty sure they were as popular as her restaurant, or almost, lol...<br /><br />Thank you so much for once again joining us for Cookbook Wednesdays Poppy. It's going to be FUN!!! ~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.com
