Two ladies, incidentally sisters, authored a book several years ago involving basic principles of cooking. I kept no record of my exact source of the book. I suspect I bought it by mail in response to an ad. The book disappeared. Trying to replace it I could find no clue as to its exact title that would permit me to make an intelligent search. Today I thought of trying a book store that specializes in wine, food etc and the storekeeper did find one that answered my description. However, it was published in 1998, at least a few years after, as I remember, the original purchase. Examining this book I am convinced it is new, possibly reworking the material of the original, but not the same book. Since these sisters have been in this field of endeavor for some time, I am searching for other writings attributed to them just to confirm the validity of my memory. My question is where, using internet, can I simply put in their respective names and find their previous written works? The used book resources, such as ABE, will not accept a search request for a joint authorship but when I enter only one name, all they claim to have (for sale of course) is the recently (1998) published book. | |

I suspect you may have found what you are looking for. The Inquisitive Cook, by Anne Gardiner and Sue Wilson, with the Exploratorium First edition, 1998, published by Henry Holt and Co. ISBN: 0805045414 In either case, you may contact Ms Gardiner or Ms Wilson personally at anneg@shaw.ca or sue.ww@shaw.ca with questions about an earlier book, should this not turn out to be what you are searching for. |

You can visit "the Congressional library" at http://catalog.loc.gov Unfortunately, it shows no record of an earlier cookbook by Anne Gardiner. |

The ladies in question had a website which is now defunct, but via The Wayback Machine you can see a page of recommended books. The only list the one book that they wrote. http://web.archive.org/web/20010819224718/inquisitivecook.com/bookstore/index.cfm |

Several sites list The Inquisitive Cook volume 3, which suggests two earlier volumes. The publishers page (Henry Holt Company <http://216.247.214.252/98-1owl/inquisitivecook.htm> gives a series, "Accidental Scientist" and also notes that the two authors together write a weekly column for the Montreal Gazette. As already noted elsewhere, their web site is almost defunct - but <http://www.inquisitivecook.com/> does give their email addresses. You could write direct to the authors and ask if they have written anything else! Sue Wilson appears to have co-written '"The Rough Guide to Irish Music" - I sa appears to as it may be another author with the same name! Another question to ask Ms Wilson when you write. I know it is good to be able to find out for oneself, but sometimes even the experts have to ask another expert for help - and very often, no matter how hard you try, the answer just is not there (on the internet). In fact, read some of the interviews in the Super Searchers series, the expert is an expert because he turns to people for help, and not the internet! And that's just what you have done, using Google Answers, asked for people help! Hope that's of some help - and comfort, read2live |
