So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

101 Cookbooks: the Cookbook Site

By John Vopel


It is meaningful for someone to hear the words "101 cookbooks".Memories of students, wearing aprons, trying to create culinary magic so they can pass with flying colors. With the advent of the Internet, the usual association between home economics class and "101 cookbooks" is obliterated only to be replaced by a website that offers different services and recipes.

Now, when somebody wants to look for recipes about natural foods or whole grain, they just type 101 cookbooks on a search engine. It is a helpful site considering it even gives suggestions and recipes for particular ingredients. Ingredients that are common as pea or asparagus and as complex and exotic as Quinoa, and Tempeh are discussed and used in different dishes. Dishes may consist of appetizers, main course, side dish, and even desserts. When one looks at the various types of recipes, one would be awed and wonder how 101 cookbooks managed to collect all recipes and how this site managed to dominate the other recipe sites.

It all began when the creator of the site kept on collecting cookbooks. She realized that she is just repeating the dishes she is cooking without trying the other dishes her cookbook offers. She then started looking over her cookbooks and began tagging those she thinks worth cooking. She stopped buying cookbooks and instead started experimenting with cooking techniques, explore unfamiliar ingredients, and discover new recipes and documenting both success and failures.

101 cookbooks creates a lot fun for her actually. The collection of recipes in her website are due to her encounters in her trips and travels, contributions from friends and family, and suggestions from her readers.

It is a good place for the beginners to search for something on cooking in fact.There have been a lot of commendations and awards given to this site. There are a lot of testimonials both from electronic and print media praising 101 cookbooks. That is perhaps they dominate the Internet when it comes to recipes and cooking.
