ZonePerfect Cooking Made Easy

Gloria Bakst, Mary Goodbody

McGraw-Hill, 2006

Honest review of a great book
The introduction to the book is one of the best I have read. It explains what the zone perfect system of living is in a manner that is easy to understand. When one finishes reading it one is ready to follow the Zone Perfect System if they wish. The receipts are varied and give one options. The suggestions that are in the book make it an interesting and different kind of cook book.

Williams-Sonoma Collection: Ice Cream (Williams-Sonoma Collection (New York, N.Y.).)

Great ice cream cookbook!
William Sonoma cookbooks tend to be strong and this one is no exception. Their recipes prioritize quality over short cuts and convenience and you can taste the difference. The recipes are more labor intensive than some of the basics, but the qualitative difference is worth the extra work. Many recipes are custard based which creates an added step, but results in creamier, richer textures.

In Pursuit of Flavor (The Virginia Bookshelf)

3 reviews
Edna Lewis, Mary Goodbody

University of Virginia Press, 2000

In Pursuit of Excellence
It is safe to say that this cookbook is like no other you will find unless it is another by this giant of a chef/instructor. The book is filled with information: how to purchase fish and duck, how to freeze berries-- there are two pages of information on Virginia hams; and, yes, there are recipes too exotic for my simple tastes. For example, I doubt that I'll ever prepare rabbit pate or roast and ...

Tru: A Cookbook from the Legendary Chicago Restaurant

Random House, 2004

Excellent Restaurant Book for Foodies and Pros
`Tru' by Rick Tramonto, pastry partner Gale Gand and writer Mary Goodbody is a book purely for foodies and professionals. The sure signs of this are the fact that the recipes are presented almost exactly as they are done in the restaurant, with all the special ingredients and equipment a home cook is not likely to have available such as foaming canisters, caviar, truffles, and presentation dishes ...

Rick Tramonto, Mary Goodbody

Random House, 2002

A must have book for any serious foodie
Serving an amuse bouche at the start of any dinner is in style but even if it wasn't it's a wonderful way to kick off any dinner party. The purpose is, yes, to kick off the dinner but also with one or two bites to create anticipaton for what is to follow. It is meant to awake the senses and to impress and if you like a way for the cook to show off his skills and imagination. In most of the ...

Morton's Steak Bible: Recipes and Lore from the Legendary Steakhouse

Clarkson Potter, 2006

Makes it easy to cook like Morton's at home
I had a hankering for creamed spinach made the only way I like - Morton's style. I bought this book and never looked back. Month after month of pumping out hashed browns, creamed spinach and Cajun ribeye... all of my friends think I'm a chef and I've gained at least 10 pounds. This book is a must for an red-blooded steak lover. Now I dream of luring a cow into my apartment.

Lobel's Prime Cuts: The Best Meat and Poultry Recipes from America's Master Butchers

1 review
Stanley Lobel, Mary Goodbody, ...

Chronicle Books, 2004

An average book with good, but carelessly written recipes.
`Lobel's Prime Cuts' is a cookbook written, purportedly, by five members of the Lobel family who own and operate an excellent butcher shop on the upper west side of Manhattan. On the face of it, this makes the book an obvious advertisement for the butcher shop, or, more exactly, for their Internet ordering service. This doesn't mean the book is not good. Emeril has put his name to some pretty ...

lengthy preperations but WORTH IT!
the preperations are not difficult, but they do take a while- involving many steps. however, i wouldn't want to skip a thing because there is a reason for the preperations and it comes out in the taste. the vegetable lasagne was one of the best i have ever made and it had a substantial taste to it that satisfied my meat-loving and veggie-hating husband. this is one of the better cookbooks on ...

Excellent book
This book is for anyone who enjoys eating desserts, cookies, breads etc. who also wants to eat healthy and fit into the same size for years to come. The recipes are easy and wholesome. Try the chocolate chip cookies...that recipe alone makes the book worth buying.

Must Have
I bought this book as a gift, and had to order another. I just couldn't put it down. It has a nice cover with tabs to keep your place and wipes clean easy.
