Although some move into this place of honor and some move away to\nthe less-used living room bookshelf, there are a few cookbooks that are always\nthere. They\u2019re the ones I turn to when I\u2019m looking for a favorite recipe or,\nsometimes, just for nostalgia\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One classic that\nhas lived on the kitchen shelf for the past 30 years is <em>Peaceful Palate<\/em> by Jennifer Raymond. As you can see, it\u2019s been used\nfrequently and is missing the cover and has some loose pages that are tucked\ninto the book. A newer edition is available, but I plan to keep this one. It\nhas a note from my mother who used it to make banana muffins for us when our\nfirst child was born. There are my notes on various recipes \u2013 \u201calso works with\nTVP,\u201d \u201cnice crunch,\u201d and \u201cEVERYONE ate this one.\u201d There are marginal notes from\ndoubling and tripling recipes for potlucks and other gatherings. The tofu\nburger recipe is almost unreadable; it\u2019s been used so many times and shared\nwith friends. No matter, I have this one memorized. There\u2019s the Spicy Pumpkin\nSoup I\u2019ve brought to friends who needed comforting, the Bread Dressing that\u2019s\nalways on the Thanksgiving table, and the Fresh Peach Cobbler that I make most\nsummers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It\u2019s funny how one\nspiral-bound book can hold so many memories. Thanks to Jennifer for her gift of\nthis cookbook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Reed Mangels, PhD, RD My kitchen cabinet always has had one shelf devoted to cookbooks.
