7. They look like this:

You use them to blend soups on the stove, make smoothies, sauces, etc. I am so happy to have it, even happier to have the food processor.

I'm hoping for The French Laundry Cookbook.

I've got Bouchon and I love it.

"The Art of Simple Food" by Alice Waters, of Chez Pannisse. :bounce:

13. I got Ruhlman's The Making of a Chef

That should be good.

Wanted The French Laundry Cookbook, but I can make do with Bouchon.
