Whip up this simple, amazing purple plum tart, pop it in the oven, and curl up with this book. I am always interested in people’s favorite recipes and cookbooks. Of course I am. This one is bursting with stories of women, some famous, some not, but all interesting. The recipe selection is wonderful. Check out Alice Waters' garlic soufflé, Marcella Hazan's polenta and tomato recipes, Julia Child's Coq au Vin, and the original Fannie Farmer will show you how to cook scallops and make a somewhat scary melted cheesy thing called English Monkey.

This book is filled with recipes and techniques to improve your cooking skills. I loved this easy pound cake, especially the almond variation. Try pizza in a skillet, stuffed and grilled trout, roasted asparagus with the often-scary Hollandaise sauce, baked rice, and a New York-style cheesecake for dessert. I love this book.

Ahhh. Last week, I wrote that smoked salmon is my favorite food. It’s really almost anything chocolate. This rich cake is pretty close to the top of the list. And pairing orange with chocolate is a match made in dessert heaven! I miss my old friend and teacher, Maida Heatter, but we are all so lucky to have her incredible recipes to bake over and over again. Thanks, and a tip of my hat to Connie Heatter and Nick Malgieri.

This book is an armchair traveler's dream. Take a trip through a Scottish bakery's kitchen with recipes for rye bread, pickled green tomatoes, whiskey eccles, and a very rich chocolate cake called the devil's double. My favorite: a perfect buttery shortbread from the author's granny. A second recipe, for Angus’ shortbread, is also included. Buy the book and bake them both. And call your mother!
