Straight from California, Santa sent me the most beautiful cookbook - Burma Superstar! This is a beautifully illustrated book full of page after page of delicious looking Myanmar cuisine from the San Francisco restaurant of the same name.

I never would have even known something like this exists, but I'm sure glad Santa sent this. Every page brings a new recipe that I can't wait to try. There are curries, veggie side dishes, noodles, salads, drinks, salad dressing, and even spice mixes! I foresee a lot of curry in my house this fall.

This weekend, I intend to try the Tomato Shrimp Relish and the Cauliflower & Tomato recipes with the garden's last ripe tomatoes of the summer.

Thanks Santa! Great choice! Now I'm off to find some shrimp paste and tamarind!
