The Inn at Little Washington Cookbook: A Consuming Passion 12 reviews
Patrick O'Connell
Random House, 1996
Easy to follow & true to the INN!!!
We had the pleasure of spending a weekend at the inn and on one of our 2 dinners there actually ate at the "chef's table" in the kitchen. While there we were able to sample a large portion of the menu and obtain an autographed copy of his cookbook. Upon returning home I assumed the recipes would be convoluted and difficult to follow. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! Patrick's recipes are clear, ...

Krazy Kat: The Comic Art of George Herriman13 reviews
Patrick McDonnell, Karen O'Connell, ...
Harry N. Abrams, 2004
Interested in Krazy Kat? Start here...
This book stands as the best introduction to one of the best comic strips ever produced. Not only is it packed with hard to find "Krazy Kat" strips, but it also includes a biography of the artist, George Herriman. Some consider Herriman the first African-American mainstream cartoonist. His colleagues didn't know his ethnicity (and Herriman didn't tell them) so some called him "the Greek". He felt ...

Patrick O'Connell's Refined American Cuisine: The Inn at Little Washington11 reviews
Patrick O'Connell
Bulfinch, 2004
Try all off them...... it's impossible to choose just one!
I've bought this book a few weeks ago. Prior to start selecting the recipes I usually read any cooking book like any other book. I just found out that I was putting marks in all of the pages, so I stopped doing it and instead, I started cooking each one of the recipes, choosing whether I wanted fish or meat.
Even if you replace or adjust some of the ingredients, the result it's absolutely ...

educational
This is a historical textbook of monasticism. I love Thomas Merton, but this was a dry read. I did find a few helpful facts though.

Helped me alot!
I used this book as well as several others (i'm guilty of buying TOO many books...)! This book very much helped me with the detail I needed to do very well in areas I didn't remember from Medical School. As a Pediatrics Resident, I highly recommend this book to fill in "the blanks" so to speak.

Shakespeare's Kitchen: Renaissance Recipes for the Contemporary Cook 11 reviews
Francine Segan
Random House, 2003
A veritable feast of tantalizing recipes...
I bought this book because I am a Shakespeare/Renaissance freak and I hoped to be able to make some dishes of the time.
While I cannot vouch for the complete historical accuracy of the recipes, I can tell you that you won't be disappointed by the use-ability of them or the beauty and taste of the end result. My sister and I put on our own "Renaissance feast" for the family, which was loads of ...

Science of Today and the Problems of Genesis3 reviews
Patrick O'Connell
Tan Books & Publishers Inc., 1994
a much needed work
I came across this book recently in a catholic bookstore and I was very impressed with it. The author does an outstanding job of refuting the claim that evolution is true. He shows how the account given in genesis is actually being proven by scientists today. He goes on to write that not only is evolution false, but that the universe is not billions of years old as some scientists continue to ...
