Roger Smith Cookbook Conference was Bound to Please and a Winner in my Books

I’ll begin this blog post by serv­ing up a link to an excel­lent piece of writ­ing by a young fel­low from the U.K. who was sit­ting next to me dur­ing one of the lively pan­els at the excel­lent two-day Roger Smith Cook­book Con­fer­ence I attended recently in New York.

Cauliflower Steaks, Mac’n’Cheese: Cookbook and Magazine Serve up Winners

It’s that blah mid-winter time of year and, for me, a bumpy patch on the mean­der­ing path of discovery.

The obvi­ous anti­dote: cook­ing up a storm in my com­pact Kens­ing­ton Mar­ket kitchen.

Much of this culi­nary cure for what­ever ails my trou­bled soul is inspired by recipes from cook­books and food mag­a­zines, both of which are on-and-off addictions.

The Tale of my Missing Cookbooks and How I Made Lemonade from Lemons

It all began about a year ago when I gave two peo­ple I had no rea­son to dis­trust full access to my large, fully-furnished house while I was away.

All went well for sev­eral months dur­ing which time I would visit the place occa­sion­ally to pick up mail and move items to my new place — mostly clothes, work-related stuff and some impor­tant papers.
