One of my most beloved cookbooks in my cookbook collection is
The Working Stiff Cookbook, by Bob Sloan.

I remember enjoying his cookbook so much I had to write the author to show my appreciation. The cookbook’s vintage illustrations are absolutely adorable!

In truth, I think I was just overjoyed because the surgeon I was dating told me he adored steak, so I quickly whipped up Bob Sloan’s Filet Mignon with Shiitake Mushrooms (with a side of sautéed broccoli rabe) for him; and dinner was a tremendous success!

This wasn’t just a “steak.” No. This was a lusty, savory trip to nirvana on a plate, bathed in a dulcet tryst of white wine and cream, and featuring just enough exotic mushrooms to consummate the union.

I was living the film “Like Water for Chocolate” in my own kitchen!

My beau was certainly impressed with the meal, and he immediately reciprocated with a romantic weekend for us at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort.

Yep, the author did a very good thing. ;-)

The Working Stiff Cookbook is a clever, spiral-bound cookbook for the V.B.P. (Very Busy Person). It features classic, as well as more bold and spicy recipes such as Chicken Curry in a Hurry for every imaginable occasion. The Paella Rapido recipe is excellent!
I love, love, LOVE this book.
