One of my favorites
Rating:
5 / 5
I first bought this cookbook in 1985, on the weekend that Live Aid was aired. I know this because I always write the date purchased in my books. I have used this cookbook so often that the pages have started to fall out. When it was reissued last year, I was delighted. I bequethed my old edition to my daughter (this is the cookbook she grew up with and it has recipe notations in all the borders!) and continue to use my new one to make all the old favorites. In addition to the great recipes it has the best descriptions and explanations of any cookbook I have ever read. Nothing seems too complicated to make and everything I have ever made from it have turned out great.
The Frog Commissary Cookbook
Rating:
5 / 5
A real classic of a cookbook. I have used this book so much that I have worn out the pages. The stuffed pistachio chicken breasts with the herb-garlic cheese filling is great, but I have used just the cheese filling for parties. I just roll it in chopped nuts and it is delicious.
Best chocolate chip cookie recipe, ever
Rating:
5 / 5
I bought this book purely because of its recipe for Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chip cookies. It's a smash hit every time I bake them - even my mom, who's not much of a cookie person, and my cousins who are all trying to stick to their weight-watchers diets, falter when I bake these cookies. Around Christmastime, they are gone in a flash. Absolutely delicious.
The cookbook itself also has tons of great ideas, some really nice recipes. In my experience, it's good to modify some of the recipes to use more current cooking methods. For example, the book's authors are not too big on olive oil, which is a staple in most cooking today.
