CLASSIC RECIPE BOOK IN THE AUCTION

Most chefs collect their own recipe books and I am counted as well. After culinary school, my quest for having the most recipe books started. Maybe I am already a recipe book collector and a big fan of cooking after all. I was just passing along the cooking boulevard here in our city when I noticed a crowd gathered. I was told that it was a auction day for a book store that is about to close because of poor sales. All the books are in for auction and when there are books, there must be recipe books that are for auction.

I thought I was never gonna hear a recipe book for auction when suddenly the auction master announced that the next book has a single copy and it was a recipe book. I immediately signed up for the list of participants or what they call interested parties in the auction. The recipe book that about to be auctioned was an American recipe book. Based on my research, the recipe book has a limited edition because the chef that wrote all the recipe in the book was suspended because of some cooking terms that were not practiced inside the recipe book. The culinary school has a copy of this recipe book and I guess I will soon have one after the auction.

There were few people interested in the recipe book. When the price was set, nobody bid except for me. Immediately the book was sold to me, no contest at all. The recipe book contains around 100 recipes inside it and a DVD of the cooking procedure of the chef that wrote the recipe book. Based on my partial reading, the recipes that were listed inside were quite easy to prepare and I did not see any malpractice inside it. Maybe I am just to early to say that. I guess I needed to read more about the recipe book.
