Martha Stewart for her Appetizer book. The pictures are beautiful and the variety of recipes is just staggering

DAVID LEBOVITZ, although it looks as if I'm lost in a sea of Martha the Queen of Self Promotion.

PS: Has anybody seen the new cookbook by the owner of Citizen Cake in SF? Deconstructing Desserts or something like that.

[ArikaDawn]

Yep, it was featured in the B&N Christmas Catalog. I checked it out when I was in-store and it had some really tempting recipes, though I did not pick it up as I know I don't even use the cookbooks I already have enough to justify owning them =). You can get it pretty cheap if you are a B&N member.

[NYchowcook]

what's the name of the book or chef? I'd like to see if I can get from my library.
thanks.

[oakjoan]

It's called Elizabeth Falkner's Demolition Desserts.

Sorry, but I shouldn't have brought it up on this thread. Forgot where I was.

The cookbooks for which we are voting are listed as the first message in this thread.

GINA DE PALMA

Her cookbook got a starred review from Publisher's Weekly, including traditional Italian, Italian-American and neuvo American-Italian and lots of narrative. I reserved at my library, and am excited about it. As excited as exploring Molly Stevens, which was a great COTM.
Martha does not excite me one bit. I am so tired of her.
Room for Dessert is not available from my library.

David Lebovitz, ROOM FOR DESSERTS please.

[debbiel]

I am not going to vote because I'm just not sure how much time I'll have for baking this year. I just wanted to pop in to suggest this thread be made a sticky, and that the earlier December thread be unstuck.
