One of my favorite cookbooks of all time is called "Surreal Gourmet: Real Food for Pretend Chefs" written by Bob Blumer. And I feel like mentioning it now because it is such a hoot! It's perfect for someone who feels like they are the kind of person that somehow manages to burn something as easy as pasta whenever they set foot in a kitchen. Yet equally worthwhile for a foodie. I love it because of the great recipes, funky food art (who doesn't love a broccoli headed chef?), technical instructions on useful things like drink garnishes, and because it always inspires me to cook when I am feeling less than motivated. Plus it's on sale on amazon.com for a mere penny right now. Hence this post...
