I'm an avid amateur cook with tons of cookbooks. (I even read them for fun!) My absolute favorite is the out-of-print The Settlement Cookbook by Mrs. Simon Kander. (My copy belonged to my great-grandmother, after whom I was named.)

I also like to bicycle, read, and throw dinner parties.

If you were to use food-grade mineral oil, you'd probably be okay, since it's specifically treated to be non-toxic.
