It's JT's birthday next month so I'm letting him pick what cookbook we cook from for February. It's been narrowed down to two:

"The Best of Martha Stewart Living: Favorite Comfort Food", home of our favorite BLT and toasted oatmeal. I'm not the biggest fan of Martha's cooking because like so many things in her publications, it looks great on paper, but falls short when you try to do it. I have higher hopes for this one.

and...

"The Perfect Recipe" by Pam Anderson, which we know has excellent macaroni and cheese and a great formula for making stir fry. Ms. Anderson is/was an editor of Cook's Illustrated, but I won't hold that against her.

What would you pick? :)
