Soup’s On!

Last year I joined a lot of book challenges. This year I may still be part of some which I’ve since given up on. I had so many books and didn’t know which ones to read first, so challenges were awesome last year. This year, though, I’ve found direction in my reading, and I usually know exactly what I want to read next. They’re fun, but not my thing.
Anyway, that was until I came across Soup’s On, a cookbook challenge! It’s an awesome idea and I’m totally into it, so here’s my post detailing the challenge and the books I’m using. I’ll be editing this as I complete them (of course with links to blog posts detailing how much fun I’m having).
From the challenge page:
This challenge will run from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. All you have to do is select six cookbooks to read and make at least one of the recipes. These can be any cookbooks of your choice - brand new ones, old stand-bys that you can’t live (or cook) without, or even heirlooms. You do not have to decide on the cookbooks ahead of time (unless you want to, of course).
Here’s six:
· The Book Club Cook Book by Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp
· I Like Food, Food Tastes Good by Kara Zuaro
· Roald Dahl’s Revolting Recipes compiled by Josie Fison and Felicity Dahl
· The Magic of Peanut Butter & Jelly by Sterling/Chapelle (gift set, perhaps two recipes are in order?)
· Soup for Every Body by Joanna Pruess and Lauren Braun
· Food for Friends by Sally Pasley Vargas
Perhaps at the end of this challenge I’ll fulfill one of my 101 Things and compile a recipe book of my favorite recipes. I’m also planning on self-publishing a family recipe book (for relatives, mostly) full of memories and thoughts, so going through existing cookbooks will provide a lot of inspiration and direction.

Wow, that sounds like a really fun challenge. I so rarely cook tho cause I live on my own and cooking for one is mildly depressing. I can’t wait to see what you make tho!
You know what’s bad? I love to bake ~_~ And baking when you love on your own is terrible.. cause i don’t need to see 2 dozen cookies in my cupboards… then they get all sad at me and call.. oh christineeeee, please eat me before i go stale!!1

Omg!! I should totally do this…I really need to challenge myself to be a better cook. Maybe I’d eat better then too.
