The only diet book I ever bought that was worth the money. Yards better than the French Women book.

The Ice Cream Machine Cookbook

1 review
Melissa Clark

Berkley, 1999

This small book is brimming with luscious recipes.
We just love this ice cream cookbook. It has the best recipes for all the classics, like an incredible vanilla bean ice cream and the richest chocolate peanut butter ripple ever. But it also has some unusal flavors that are also wonderful, like strawberry rhubarb ice cream (which we made last week and the best so far) and fresh mint chocolate chip ice cream. I can't wait to try the port wine ...

The Market Comes to Education in Sweden: An Evaluation of Sweden's Surprising School Reforms
Anders Björklund, Melissa A. Clark, ...

Russell Sage Foundation Publications, 2006

A large central government providing numerous public services has long been a hallmark of Swedish society, which is also well-known for its pursuit of equality. Yet in the 1990s, Sweden moved away from this tradition in education, introducing market-oriented reforms that decentralized authority over public schools and encouraged competition between private and public schools. Many wondered if this approach would improve educational ...

High Heat : Grilling and Roasting Year-Round with Master Chef Waldy Malouf

Amazon Remainders Account, 2003

My New favorite Grilling Book!
This book is great. I own several grilling books and am always sad when winter comes (I live in the Northeast) and I have to put them away when I cover up the grill. But not this year! Waldy Malouf's book will take me into winter because all the recipes work in the oven as well as on the grill. So it's like getting two for one. To be totally honest I shouldn't give this book 5 stars yet because ...

Meredith Books, 2007

Just a great cookbook
This is a fabulous Freshman effort by The Deen Brothers. I have never had a complaint on anything I have made from this book (in fact I get nothing but raves). The dishes are simple to put together but full of flavor. There is something for just about any occasion. The stuffed strawberries were a sensation at a bridal shower I did and the chocolate truffle pie was over the top for a ...

Must read
This is the present I'll be giving to all my girl friends in 2007. This book is funny, poignant and sassy. I was hooked right away, and couldn't put the book down after chapter one. The ending is fabulous - I only wish there was more to read. I hope there is a sequel.

The Nantucket Restaurants Cookbook: Menus and Recipes from the Faraway Isle

Villard, 2001

A Beautiful picture of the Nantucket Restaurant Scene
Though I've never been to Nantucket, this book absolutely makes me want to go, the next time I'm on the East Coast. In the meantime, I can flip through this gorgeous book and dream. The photography is alluring and recipes so inventive and interesting. Some of them seem a little cheffy, but for the most part they look easy enough to make for a summer dinner party. Plus, the profiles of the ...

Melissa Clark

Clarkson Potter, 2005

Very nice execution of a risky concept. Buy it if you have few cookbooks.

Cooking like my grandma did
I don't thought I would like this book so much. But when I get it, I sat down and for 2 hours I was reading the book. As a German, this recipes sound often so familiar. My grandma kam from Prague, so her cooking was similar. For me, the recipes are easy to follow but you need your time. I am sure in the next time I will cook a lot from this book. The last year's I was in Italian-cooking, then ...

Excellent reading & receipes together.
Different cookbook; combines heartwarming family stories of cooking/family growing up in Central Louisiana, along with easy, delicious recipes.

Berkley, 1993

YUM!!!
I have had great success with the recipes from this book. My family especially likes the sweet and fruit breads for breakfast and snacks, like orange marmalade, coconut almond, Mexican chocolate, cinnamon banana oat, and honey lemon. There are some weird flavors (borscht??? watercress-pea??? date with jalapenos???) that you may never be interested in making but so many more delicious creative ...

Instant Gourmet: Delicious Meals in 20 Minutes or Less

Melissa Clark

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995

Instant Transformation to a Gourmet Chef!
This is my all-time favorite cookbook (and I own a ton of them). The recipes are easy to prepare and usually contain fewer than ten ingredients. I have found at least fifteen dishes that are always dependable, quick to prepare, and exceptionally popular with guests. The only downside is that very few of the recipes are particularly health-conscious -- heavy cream and butter are two of the most ...
