Amanda Hesser's Cooking for Mr. Latte isn't entirely a cookbook. It's a collection of articles that Ms. Hesser wrote for the New York Times about her courtship with the man who became her husband. They are all charming, appealing essays and at the end of each one (this is where the cookbook part comes in), she includes the three or four recipes that she mentioned in the text of the piece. I've read this book at least four times and each time through, I've dog-ear a couple of recipes that sound particularly tasty. I've only gotten around to making a few of them (all of my cookbooks are bookmarked and written in, which makes it hard to get to everything that sounds good) but the ones I've tried have been wonderful (I love her mother's Chocolate Dump-It Cake).
