Cookbooks Are Fun

From Daryl Wood Gerber aka Avery Aames

As many of you know, I've got a new series coming out:  A COOKBOOK NOOK MYSTERY.  July 2. Just weeks away.

The first is titled FINAL SENTENCE. 

The series features Jenna Hart, who is leaving the high-powered world of advertising to return home to Crystal Cove to help her aunt open a culinary bookshop and café. Hint: Jenna is a reader and a foodie. She loves books and food. But she's not a cook. Not yet. For a confident woman, she's not very confident in the kitchen! So her aunt and good friend, the chef of the café, introduce her to simple recipes. Good food with few ingredients. So for the next few weeks, I'm going to be sharing some of Jenna's adventure in getting comfortable in the kitchen.

I love a potato. Any which way I can get it.  Fried, mashed, baked. These little goodies taste like baked potatoes and potato chips. I found the recipe in a cookbook COOKING WITH SADIE AND FRIENDS.

It was being sold at Guava Gouda and Caviar. All the proceeds from the cookbook goes to Hawaii Canines for Independence. Don’t you love things like that? C'mon, isn't that dog (Sadie) on the cover adorable?

Savory Baked Potato Slices

Ingredients:

2 brown russet potatoes (the cookbook used red potatoes)

2-4 tablespoons olive oil

2-4 teaspoons chopped rosemary

salt & pepper

Directions:

Turn oven on to 400 degrees.

Rinse and slice the potatoes thinly. Lay the potatoes out on two  baking sheets. 

Brush well with olive oil. Tear the sprigs off the rosemary and toss the stems. Chop the rosemary. Sprinkle rosemary over the potatoes. 

Season with salt and pepper.

Set the trays in the oven, one on a low shelf and the other on a higher shelf. Bake 10-12 minutes and switch the trays to the opposite shelf.  Bake 10-12 minutes longer.

Using a spatula, remove the potatoes. Serve at once.

Savor the mystery!
