I'm taking this on as the next cookbook for my blog. Anyone have it? Cooked from it? Drooled over it?

Not yet. I have it on order at my library but it looks like I won't get it until mid-December. :roll:

Bless you for correctly spelling "piqued." I can't tell you how many times recently I have seen people use the term "peaked my interest" or even worse "peeked my interest."

Kate, don't have the book but there is a very active thread on eGullet on this book. There have been several recipe reviews on the thread, with photos! It looks like a good book, although I am still sticking to my resolution of no new cookbooks.

I shall consider myself blessed but am sure I have contributed to the embarrassing spelling errors club. Now I have to go check out that mustard tart recipe... sounds intriguing.

Everyone has the occasional spelling error, its the ones people make over and over that make you feel like your loosing your mind.

On a related note, when empire waistlines became the big thing in wedding dresses a few years ago, I started seeing bridal mags actually call it the "ompeer" waistline. As in "These Titanic-inspired gowns feature cap sleeves and ompeer waistlines."

The local sign peeve is "bokay". It's just all over the place here. I used to work for FTD, taking calls in their peak season, and I would have callers asking about "the cup-of-cheer banquet". I blame those signs. The poor dears just didn't recognize "bouquet" when they saw it.

Guess that is one of the pluses of living in a non-English speaking country. In high school I worked at a place called The Burger Boy and we sold "piping hot pastrami sandwiches". A customer ordered one but said, "I don't want none of that piping hot stuff on it though".

That might be worth the price of the book. My husband would go nuts over that.
