Dining Dish

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.

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?

Has anyone figured out how to shut the damned music off on the website?

There are two locations on the opening page where you can turn down the volume. Because different screens have different dimensions two places were added. Under the word lunch(where the hours are posted) there is a line and below that is one location...the 2nd location is the line above the box that says Visit Pazza Luna Blog on the line you will see a speaker and a dot that you can slide towards the speaker to reduce the volume. Different screens, different configurations I don't totally understand it but yes - 2 locations to reduce the volume and you will not hear the music.
