cookin good!

In the past 2 months, we have received some AWESOME cookbooks (wedding, Christmas, and birthday gifts). My goal is to make at least one recipe from each book in the next year. With some books, this will be easy to do - others it will be harder (hello - pastries from Tartine!).

After I took this photo, I realized two books were in the kitchen and missed their cameo! Christina got us this really fun San Francisco cookbook - perfect because I would love to learn how to make more California dishes. I think I may attempt a dungeness crab dish!
Katie got us this book a few months ago - New Orleans desserts! There is this recipe I am already dying to make - Chocolate Cupped Cakes. They look like cupcakes, but they are cooked in mugs. The result is very cute.
Thanks to all our friends and family for all of these fun cookbooks! We love to cook, so I look forward to making lots of delicious things this year. :)
