ISO a word for "food" that begins with a "B"

Did I get your attention with that title?!? One of our daughters is getting married next weekend and I'm making her a cookbook of some of our favorite recipes. My husband's name is BOB and mine is CATherine so I'm thinking of

BOBCAT's Book of Bodacious B__________

Any suggestions? Or I could leave the B's alone and go with something else. The 'Hounds never fail so please help now. Thanks a bunch - ooh, another "B" :)

    how about BOBCAT'S Book of/for Breaking Bread....?

      Oh, man, those are great also. I'd thought to send the "kids" individual recipes as they make my A list but perhaps I'll compile second (and third, etc.) editions with different names in order to use more of these. I am just not clever :)

        Well, gee, if you have some nice family stories to go with the recipes, how 'bout "BOBCAT TALES"? :-)

          We went with Bobcat's Book of Bodacious Bites. It's been a big hit with requests for updates. Thanks all. It's fun to share with 'Hounds.

            Well Bobcats Book of Bodacious Bites is cute however I would also suggest
            Book Of Bodacious Chow And Things and you can use the acronym Bobcat

                  "Bounty"

                  or BOBCAT's Book of Remarkable Recipes
                  or BOBCAT's Hand Me Downs
                  or Mom & Dad's Recipe Book

                  Whatever you call it, it will be great. She will cherish it forever! Congratulations!

                    A post that got deleted mentions using the word BOBCAT as an acronym, i.e.,
                    Book Of Bodacious C______ A______ T______ I'm liking that also.

                    1. Chew on That Oct 17, 2008 11:56 AM

                      Haha where did the word bodacious come from in regards to food?

                      Let's see... I vote for bounty, bliss or bites!

                          In Korea "bap" litterally means cooked rice, but is used to mean prepared food in general in the vernacular. Perhaps you can have chapters with B words as headings for different food types or groups.

                                        Or you could shift slightly off-center and use Bonhomie.

                                          Maybe I'll use every one I get :) I knew I could count y'all. I think we better make a trip to Santa Fe!

                                                    There's actually a restaurant in Santa Fe called "Bobcat Bites" - they make a first class green chili cheeseburger!

                                                      I also vote for "bites"
