W...oooh I'm not to late yet for your contest.<br /><br /><br />Well, I need a copy of Comfortably Yum because as a soon to be newly wedded wife I want to surprise my husband (who does 95% of the cooking at home) with some cooking that I never came up with before. I'm sure Luisa can teach me some new style of cooking that I didn't try yet (such as baking....never ever baked in my life before...ssst don't tell anyone). And I really really want to read those humerous comments in the book that I hear about all the time!!Goofballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155032632164828945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-7130826437823848432009-06-03T22:33:36.003-04:002009-06-03T22:33:36.003-04:00Yes, PM, I could imagine you would!

I have a super finicky five year-old, a husband who doesn't like veggies, a carnivore 8 year-old and then me, the vegetarian. I feel like the only thing I can make to keep everyone happy is pasta with optional meatballs! But clearly, we can't make that every night. Sigh, what to do!Liz Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-14658836904557112152009-06-01T22:48:26.515-04:002009-06-01T22:48:26.515-04:00This book sounds wonderful!

I"m tempted to check it out just to find out what Brookies are!<br /><br />I enjoyed the anecdote about the mother-in-law, but was confused because I read it to mean the person was asking if you could sub the milk AND cream with half and half (since isn't half and half just that, half milk and half cream, which is what was called for?)<br /><br />In any event, thanks for sharing, and I'll keep my eyes peeled for this one next time I'm at the bookstore or library.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-60124665500540028282009-06-01T17:01:40.045-04:002009-06-01T17:01:40.045-04:00Diana, as usual, you said it beautifully, and I co...Diana, as usual, you said it beautifully, and I couldn't agree more.<br /><br />Marianne - both excellent reasons!

I have my copy in hand (and more on the way!), so my comment's intent is to add even more stars to your recommendation!<br /><br />Luisa's recipes are great (I have some chicken enchiladas in the refrigerator waiting for their dinner debut), but what I love most about Luisa's book is that her luminous personality and charming wit shine through on every page.<br /><br />Lovely review, Jen. Yummy cookbook, Luisa. Congratulations to you both!diana murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13839114778425842955noreply@blogger.com
