Hands down, my favorite cookbook Rating:
5 / 5
I have owned this cookbook for several years and I have given it as a hostess gift numerous times. The recipes in it have never failed me and I feel completely confident to do a first run for guests. The photos are amazing and I especially like the table setting pictures and the lineup of every piece of flatware imaginable.
If you haven't tried the recipes for chicken salad with cranberries and pecans, the grilled pork tenderloin with dijon mustard and orange marmalade, the mushroom pate, or the field greens with spicy pecans and blue cheese (I substitute feta), get in the kitchen now and start cooking. I promise, you will love them all.
I am in Total agreement!!! Rating:
5 / 5
Try also the Khalua Gingerbread, the spicey meat loaf, the baked salmon - I take this cookbook with me every summer and use only this cookbook.
Excellent Rating:
5 / 5
I hate having cookbooks where every recipe needs exotic ingredients and cost $... to make. This is a wonderful cookbook (and believe me- I have many). I found that most ingredients are easily accessible in the supermarket and the results are usually a lot for little effort. Some favorites are the lemon yogurt muffins, herbed beer bread, and ANY of the pasta dishes. I have a lot of vegetarian friends and some times struggle to find a happy medium for both...this book has a lot of great non-meat alternatives that aren't just side dishes. There's also a lot of lower fat/calorie dishes. The recipes are unique and tasty. I grab this book first when I know company is coming-- it's definitely worth the money.
