Cookbooks that we've gotten in recently that don't have too many holds (yet):
Little Kitchen -- this is aimed at kids and to get them cooking in the kitchen. The author is Australian so there are some differences in ingredients and instructions. We've made the Minestrone and Chocolate Pudding which were both very good.
Foodista -- a round up of food blogs with recipes. It is almost as good to just know about the blogs as to have the recipes. I have made a long list of blogs I want to investigate.
Alan Dunn's Christmas Cakes -- no one does Christmas cakes like the British!
The Everything Vegetarian Pressure Cooker Cookbook -- got a pressure cooker? Check this out for some new recipes to try out.
D.I.Y. Delicious -- like to make things from scratch? Really from scratch recipes for everything from making your own mustard to pasta, & cheese, and a few recipes that give you a way to use your goodies.
Organically Raised -- making your own baby food and cooking for your toddler too.
Glycemic Index Cookbook for Dummies -- want to learn about the Glycemic Index? Check this out to find out more and to find recipes using the GI.
A Life in Balance -- plant based food for better health.
Quiches, Kugels and Couscous -- French Jewish cooking. Includes stories as well as recipes.
Michael's Genuine Food -- recipes from the restaurant of the same name.
I can't vouch for these cookbooks but they might be worthwhile checking out and seeing if you find something you like.

Long Hiatus
It's been a long time between posts here. I am trying to get back on track and want to try some different things with this blog.
The main aim of the blog is the cookbook collection at Omaha Public Library. I love to cook and I love to read cookbooks so it seems natural that I should write something like this.
The previous posts have been reviews of cookbooks. The first was a mix of various cookbooks I used a lot. Then I began reviewing single cookbook. I felt it was important that I not only read through the cookbook but also try at least 3 recipes before reviewing. That got a bit exhausting, thus the hiatus.
But now I plan to do some posts which indicate newly ordered cookbooks available at Omaha Public Library as well still doing in-depth review posts.And we'll see where that takes us, perhaps things will change again, but I will try and commit to doing regular posts and doing some new things.
If you have suggestions for posts, please leave a comment.
