Biscuit Girl Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi all. I need your assistance. For those who don't know me, I work as a librarian in Fairfax County. Several of us librarians are responsible for keeping parts of our systems webpage up to date. My section is under our "Good Reading" area and my topic is Cookbooks. No surprise to some. I always try to add something new to this list and thought this time I should include cookbooks that have been written by DC's own talented chefs. I have several names so far but did not want to exclude anyone. And here is where I need your help. Does anyone know of a chef that I have left off this list? Here is who I have so far: Michel Richard Fabio Trabocchi Bob Kinkead Jose Andres Patrick O’Connell Who am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaesthesia Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I don't know if this fits, but there was an L'Auberge Chez Francois cookbook. It's pretty old in comparison, but prolly still a goodie. My parents have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuit Girl Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I don't know if this fits, but there was an L'Auberge Chez Francois cookbook. It's pretty old in comparison, but prolly still a goodie. My parents have one. Great suggestion! I looked in our system but unfortunately we only have one copy. But....I did find another one written by Jacques Haeringer and we have plenty of copies so I'll add it to my list. It's called Two For Tonight: pure romance from L'Auberge Chez Francois. Thanks!

Biscuit Girl Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Roberto Donna (love the hairdo) Rats! We don't have his book in our library system. But I may be tempted to by one from Amazon for myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synaesthesia Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I don't know if you want to a "related" type thing. But Phyllis Richman did write those mystery books... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dining Dish Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Lisa Yockelson, Nancy Baggett...both baking books and then there is Naj Batamanjli for Persian food. Come October you can add a book I helped compile that has recipes from culinary greats in the area: Michel Richard, Nora Pouillon, José Andres, Francios Dionot, Kat Fukushima, Sheilah Kaufmann, and the other authors mentioned above. The cookbook is called YUM- tasty recipes from culinary greats. Sorry about the above reply, still getting the hang of this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidgey Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 This reminds me...Gillian Clark will be coming out with a memoir in October, Out of the Frying Pan. I can't think of any other local chefs that have done so, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuit Girl Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Thanks everyone! I added several of the books you suggested and have some of the soon-to-be published ones waiting in the wings. If the library system orders them, I'll add them to the list as well. My old list is still up for those who want to see it, hopefully the new one will be added in a week or two. I'll repost when it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuit Girl Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Thanks again to everyone who gave me names.
