>Mock Chicken
>Blanch and grind a sufficient number of peanuts until they are quite oily; stir in one well-beaten egg; if too thin, thicken with rolled bread crumbs or cracker dut; stir in a little salt. Boil some sweet potatoes until done; peel and cut in thin slices; spread generously with the peanut mixture; dip in white of egg; fry to a chicken brown; serve hot.

Half of the things at goodwill are rare and/or unknown, but that doesn't make them worth the 50 cents you paid to contract aids just to make a bowl of soup.

Amazing early 2000s tome for baking with a lot of variety and options:

https://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Kitchen-Definitive-Bakers-Companion/dp/1579652085

While many cookbooks include chapters on tools and ingredients, Regan Daley's award-winning tome begins with almost 400 pages of introductory information. From her descriptions of ingredients to explanations of food science, it's clear Daley's done her research, and she offers a wealth of information as reference for both the professional and the novice. She covers every ingredient in a baker's pantry, from flours and sugars to eggs, fruits, nuts, spices, and flavorings, in a way that is both interesting and informative. She discusses how to choose them, use them, and why they do the things they do. She's tested tools and shopped around, and even recommends price points for your purchases. She explains myriad techniques, such as how to cook sugar and icing and assemble layer cakes.

If she'd stopped at 400 pages, this would already be a must-have for anyone at all interested in the sweet side of the kitchen--but there's more. Daley's collection of recipes follows, and they cover the gamut from simple and straightforward to seductive and exciting. Some are actually quite complicated, but her explanations and descriptions of each step ensure success. Many recipes feature a flavor twist that will take your breath away, such as the Sweet Potato Layer Cake with Rum-Plumped Raisins and a Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting, Lemon Anise Churros, and Caramelized Banana Tart with a Lime Linzer Crust and a Warm Caramel Sauce. Other recipes bring back childhood memories, such as her All-in-the-Pan Chewy Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Butter Icing (mixed right in the baking pan) and Wild Blueberry Pie. This exhaustive volume was the 2001 IACP Cookbook of the Year, an award that it richly deserves.

Was a gift from my now deceased step grandma.

best cookbook is ramsay's first one 'passion for flavor' because it's a book made for chefs. He squeezes flavor out of everything, like his incredibly simple Broccoli soup which is just water, broccoli and salt but tastes like no other broccoli soup you've had.

Are there any good cook books, or I guess just books, that tell you everything about the food and spices? Not necessarily recipes, just pages of info about food. Like an entire page on paprika and it's taste, how it's made, what it pairs with, and so on for other herbs and spices. But also pages on meat and fish and how it's made, various ways to make it, etc.

I've tried to find one on my own, but I haven't found one yet.
