Great book. I bought the Bobby Chin because I found it for 7 bucks here in Singapore. I'm hesitant to try any of it haven eaten at his restaurant however. Very, very underwhelming food there.

Especially the ones church groups have put together to raise money for one charity or another. To read their names and where they are from you know their submission for the book was popular with their families. I enjoy recreating the recipes for a step back in time.

I also like your little book quiet a lot, already have to fight a matcha-cookie addiction and my husband surprised me with your duck breast dish. But the dessert on the cover with the poppy seeds, where is the recipy for that? Thanks for the last year, yours was the first food blog I discovered. <span class="nickyedit"> Hi Esther, basically it's just a plain vanilla panna cotta with some added ground poppyseed. The only thing important: Once you added poppyseeds (maybe 2-3 tablespoons for 500g cream), you have to wait and stir from time to time until the panna cotta starts to set and then you can fill it in ramekins. This prevents the poppyseed from sinking to the bottom and makes sure, they are evenly distributed within the dessert.</span> Hei Nicki,

My personal favorit recipe thereof was "Kastanienspätzle" with leek and mushrooms and a lot of thyme. (I am eating it right now...-;)) Further I had a lot of fun with Fischküche of Annemarie Wildeisen (simple recipes with background information) and the two cookbooks of Rolf Hiltl ("vegetarisch nach lust und laune" and "die welt zu gast") about vegetarian food. Unfortunately, I don't know whether there are also english versions of this books. hi nicky, thank your for this information. for sure, I will have a look at "little italy", "the art and soul of baking" and "the songs of sapa".
