| Restaurant, Hotel and Inn Cookbooks Checklist |

In follow-up to my post on Cookbook Collecting Specialization I am going to write a series of posts with some lists related to different collecting "specializations" or categories. My favorite type of cookbook, restaurant and inns/hotels cookbooks, seemed like a good place to start. I will try to grow the lists over time so they can serve as a quick checklist for those of you interested in collecting special categories of cookbooks. Note that the names may be shortened from the original title or have some explanatory copy such as restaurant added for clarity.Restaurant, Hotel and Inn CookbooksAlabamaWhistle Stop Cafe Cookbook AlaskaOlivia's at the Skagway Inn Cookbook - SkagwayArizonaCafe Terra Cotta Cookbook - TusconCanyon Ranch Cooks - Canyon Ranch Spa - TusconJanos Cookbook - TusconSedo...

| Jewish Community Cookbooks Checklist |
| 2008-09-14 16:46:12 |
I had recently written a restaurant and hotel cookbooks checklist in follow-up to my post on Cookbook Collecting Specialization to give people ideas of books to collect in various categories. This post covers a list of Jewish community cookbooks. I was fortunate to find this list in the back of a cookbook referencing contributors to recipes for a Jewish cookbook. I know my mother-in-law has searched for such a list as her friend had a great community Jewish cookbook from City of Hope but she couldn't remember the name. I figured this type of list is difficult to compile so I've provided it below as a handy reference. Enjoy!If you know more books to add to the list, please use the Comments link at the bottom of the post and let me know them. I'll try to gather them and update the list.Jewis...

For someone interested in cookbook collecting, this will give you a head start on the basic books to include as the foundation of your collection.These are the more mainstream cookbooks of the past.

Some of these books have been reviewed in-depth in this blog with their collectibility ratings for anyone interested in more detail. I have included some of the top-level information for each below as well as links for those which have been rated in earlier blog postings.1. Betty Crocker...

I have been promising my wife that I'd post her new media network sites. These sites something like a website or portal for media including news, videos, podcasts, stock photos, etc. related to a particular topic. In my wife's case, these sites are all cooking, cookbook or recipes-related sites. The idea is that if you enjoy a particular area of cooking or type of cookbook, you can bookmark one of these media networks as a one-stop shop. Instead of scouring YouTube or a news or recipe site for your particular area of desire (eg. cake recipes), you can bookmark one of these sites to get ...

| Chef Martin Yan Signature & Bio |
| 2008-05-19 00:22:40 |
Photo: Martin Yan The Chinese Chef Cookbook Martin Yan is to Chinese as Julia Child is to French cooking. I stumbled upon this signed copy of his cookbook last week. I don't often see signed copies of his books online. Martin Yan's cookbooks are fairly mainstream and don't sell very well second hand. He evidently published 26 cookbooks but I couldn't gather all 26 names. I tried to list as many as I could here below. In any case, he is well known in the Chinese community here in my area--my wife's employee who grew up in Chinatown in Los Angeles told her she grew up on Martin Yan on food channel programs. He is known for his Yan Can Cook TV show. For cookbook collecting addicts, Martin Yan's cookbooks, though not very valuable, are a good idea to keep if sig...
