Food Lover's Companion, The (Barron's Cooking Guide) 3rd Edition83 reviews
Sharon Tyler Herbst

Barron's Educational Series, 2001

It never leaves my desk
As a professional working in the industry, my yearning for culinary information never subsides. It may very well be insanity that causes me to focus so strongly on my profession, but I'm always reading and watching culinary related books and TV shows. Very often, you'll find that books and television don't always explain certain bits of information as well as you'd like if at all. And even then, ... 		  
  







  
  
The New Wine Lover's Companion12 reviews
Ron Herbst, Sharon Tyler Herbst

Barron's Educational Series, 2003

Everything I hoped for from the Oxford Companion, but in an easy to use format.
This book was my favorite dealing with wine. It contains much of the same info as the Oxford Companion, but you can hold it in your hands and carry it about. It contains very useful information if you are learning about wine. Also has a great pronunciation guide for wine terms. 		  
  







  
  
The Ultimate Guide to Pitcher Drinks: Cool Cocktails for a Crowd9 reviews
Sharon Tyler Herbst

Villard, 2003

This book seriously rocks!
Maybe "Dracula Fan" needed some more blood in his bloody mary-something to nourish his rather small brain. Okay, I'm sorry to get personal, but his (or her) review just doesn't track. This book seriously rocks! I've made most of the drinks in it over the past year . . . they're not only super EASY, but FUN and DELICIOUS! And as for the "no pictures" remark, well most of us haven't needed ...

The Cheese Lover's Companion: The Ultimate A-to-Z Cheese Guide with More Than 1,000 Listings for Cheeses and ...5 reviews
Sharon Tyler Herbst, Ron Herbst

William Morrow Cookbooks, 2007

Ignore the naysayers
I don't understand the negativity. The other review reads more like something you'd hear from a jealous competing writer or publisher rather than a reader--which makes me very suspicious of his/her motives. I, on the other hand, found The Cheese Lover's Companion to be factual, thorough, and written in a very engaging manner. I know cheese (but am always eager to learn more), and I feel the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Wine Lover's Companion5 reviews
Ron Herbst and Sharon Tyler Herbst

Random House, 1995

Comprehensive yet compact. Great wine resource for the $
I work part-time in the wine industry and found this book to be a wonderfully comprehensive, concise resource on wine growing, making and drinking. (There's a great companion book by the same authors on food.) The sample pages show the depth of the definitions. The book is not nearly as detailed as Jancis Robinson's The Oxford Companion to Wine--which all serious wine industry people should have ... 		  
  







  
  
The Ultimate Liquor-Free Drink Guide: More Than 325 Drinks With No Buzz, but Plenty of Pizzazz1 review
Sharon Tyler Herbst

Broadway, 2002

What Fun!
What, a drink book without booze? Couldn't be interesting, I thought to myself. But I tracked it down 'cause I saw an outstanding review of it in USA Today. And just flipping through it makes my mouth water. Not the same ol', same ol' stuff here. Lots of tantalizing drinks in 12 different chapters, including mocktails (fake cocktails--I tried the Cosmopolitan and it is great!), tea drinks, ... 		  
  







  
  
The New Food Lover's Tiptionary: More Than 6,000 Food and Drink Tips, Secrets, Shortcuts, and Other Things ...11 reviews
Sharon Tyler Herbst

William Morrow Cookbooks, 2002

Everything I wanted to know and more
Well, this book is certainly a winner. I LOVE to cook and know a lot about the subject, but a friend gave this to me for my birthday and I can't stop reading it. It's the little things that count for me, like information on pan substitutions (different sizes that will work for a pan you don't have) and temperature and measurement charts, and a pasta glossary. And I love the fabulous tips on ... 		  
  







  
  
The Ultimate A-to-Z Bar Guide14 reviews
Sharon Tyler Herbst

Broadway, 1998

Take It From A Pro
Well, I'm a professional bartender and was getting ready to order some more of "Ultimate A-to-Z Bar Guides" for some of my bartender friends when I noticed the "pulpfoto" review and just felt I had to respond. I disagree with everything he said, and wonder if we have different books! First of all, I haven't looked for a classic recipe I couldn't find in this book. And what's with the ... 		  
  







  
  
The food lover's guide to meat and potatoes3 reviews
Sharon Tyler Herbst

William Morrow and Co, 1996

Delicious and Informative
Loved this book--loads of informative facts and tips--clear, concise and interesting recipes for meats, potatoes, and the combination of the two. I've tried 12 of the 50+ recipes and all of them worked and all of them were delicious (the Smoky Spiced Brisket & Apples is outstanding!) If you love to cook and want some interesting ideas, this one's for you. 		  
  







  
  
The Food Lover's Guide to Chocolate and Vanilla
Sharon Tyler Herbst

William Morrow & Co, 1996

Do you crave chocolate? Swoon at the scent of vanilla? Whether you love one or both, Sharon Tyler Herbst's succinctly informative study of the pair will delight you. The history of each along with descriptions of how vanilla beans and cocoa are cultivated and processed into sublime edibles are intriguing. Herbst briefs you on all the forms chocolate and vanilla take, then moves on to recipes for dishes made with each and with both. These 40 ... 		  
  







  
  
The Food Lover's Tiptionary: An A to Z Culinary Guide With More Than 4000 Food and Drink Tips, Secrets, ...3 reviews
Sharon Tyler Herbst

Cookbooks, 1994

This book helped to validate everything my grandmother said!
After completing my most recent cookbook, I ran across this excellent resource. While I consider myself to work mostly on instinct in the kitchen, it is fun to read that you were right all along. Yes, as my grandmother taught me - potatoes are easier to peel when hot. She always made me boil them in their jackets when making potato salad. I had also wondered why lentils sometimes ... 		  
  







  
  
Never Eat More Than You Can Lift and Other Food Quotes and Quips: 1,500 Notable Quotables About Edibles and ...1 review
Sharon Tyler Herbst

Broadway, 1997

Amusing compilation of food-related quotes
"Never Eat More Than You Can Lift" is a goulash, a mix of this and that and a lot of other things. It's a quote book and the source for Twain's swipe at American cookery. It's also a cookbook with recipes for chutney ham rolls, baked caramel apples and garlic grilled okra. It's an advice book with hints for making custard, peeling cucumbers and telling the difference among English, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Joy of Cookies4 reviews
Sharon Tyler Herbst

Barrons Educational Series Inc, 1990

A real Joy
Sharon Tyler Herbst's Joy of Cookies has just about everything that I look for in a cookbook. The introduction gives a brief history of the cookie and then a detailed description of cookie baking basics, equipment, ingredients, techniques, all accompanied by simple yet clear line drawings. The recipe section itself is organized according to cookie type: bar cookies, drop cookies, etc. The ...
