Becoming a mMaster Barbecuer.
Although I own a number of BBQ Recipe Books; Weber's "Real Grilling" has such a great variety of BBQ recipes, accompanied by 200 color photos of the final reults. For anyone interesting in expanding their BBQ horizons; this IS the book!

My Baking Bible
I received this book as a gift this past Christmas, and it is by far the most-used cookbook I own. I have a special penchant for baking, but am only still learning (before this cookbook, I'd only ever really baked cookies). I can say, then, that this cookbook is excellent for the learning baker. This is the book I used to learn to bake bread (like their delicious and easy Vermont Maple ...

Mage Publishers, 1992

Stunningly beautiful cookbook
I have to admit, this may not be the most practical cookbook out there. It does feature some tough-to-find ingredients (such as "barberries," "Persian lime powder", etc.), and there are a lot of kebab type recipes that call for grilling - not the most practical for a busy weeknight cook. Some of the recipes here will require a commitment of time. However, that said, there are also many recipes ...

Knopf, 1976

An essential book for a beginning chef...
...I've referred to this book over the years for technique and authenticity of Italian cooking...it is a wonderful book. I agree that it is on par with Julia Child's French cookbook. I've made many of the recipes and they are fabulous....the poached shrimp, easy and delicious...the grilled shrimp with flavored breadcrumbs is another favorite, the Lemon, garlic & parsley chicken cutlets is ...

Wore my first copy out....!
This amazing cookbook has been a staple in our home since the mid-70's when cooking with whole grains and offering meatless dishes for dinner was weird. The Mennonites have long focused on healthy foods and joyful preparations that are kind to your food budget and consume less of the world's limited food resources. I wore out my first copy and am delighted to be able to still buy this wonderful ...

Great cookbook if you are looking for tried and true classic American recipes
Wonderful cookbook! I read the reviews and just had to go out and buy it for myself! I've been looking for a cookbook with EVERY classic American comfort food recipe, and this is it! It has everything from Appetizers (Spinach-Artichoke Dip and Deviled Eggs) to Breakfast (Biscuits and Gravy; French Toast and Oatmeal), Main Dishes (Chicken Parmesan, Turkey Tetrazzini, Crown Roast) to Sides (Green ...

Very handy cookbook reference for my office bookshelf. I've used it a number of times, and it's more than paid for itself in expediting regularly-scheduled inquiries of our AD structure here at GEICO HQ.

Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen

William Morrow Cookbooks, 1984

Authentic Recipes
This cookbook is a classic of authentic Louisiana recipes. They are all based on the true methods of Louisiana cooking that is so famous. I have lived in Louisiana all my life and I can tell you that you will not find a cookbook that is better if you are interested in "the real deal." I have wanted this cookbook to add to my collection and although I have been cooking Louisiana food for many ...

The Victory Garden Cookbook

Knopf, 1982

An essential cookbook to own
I think this is the best vegetable cookbook on the planet. I own others, including Barbara Kafka's tome and the fairly recent one by Patricia Wells, and they have their merits. "The Victory Garden Cookbook," however, is the one with the greasy cover and the food stains. All of the recipes are well-designed, and they span a broad range, from simple cooking for a weeknight dinner to something more ...

Best Authentic Italian
I love this cookbook!!! Her recipes are just like my Grandmother used to make. Unfortunately all of our family recipes are not written down. So whenever I am unsure of how to make something I check with Elodia!

Eureka, I found it.....
Some 20 years ago, I was a vegan for a couple of years and absolutely loved this cookbook. Well, my youngest daughter, aged almost-16, recently became a vegetarian. I have pulled out my favorite vegetarian cookbooks, which I had saved, and was horrified to not be able to find The Farm's cookbook. I didn't think I'd ever be able to find it to purchase again. I have very fond memories of that ...

Awesome and Authentic Cookbook!!!!!!!!
I found "The Little Saigon Cookbook" to be amongst the best of any of my Vietnamese/Asian cookbooks. It is vivid in its descriptions and illustrations. It also provides any serious enthusiast with some excellent recipes. My last dental assistant was Vietnamese and taught me a great deal before I had to retire and this cookbook reflects much of what she took the time to teach me. I also found ...

Best Italian Veggie Cookbook, Ever....
Being raised 1st generation Italian, I had some problems finding some of the old authentic recipes my family used to cook. Not any longer. This book brought me home. I love, love, love it and every time I have a dinner party, this is the book I turn to for a special meal that my guests rave about for weeks. This is by far, my favorite cookbook. I am a vegan, but have no problems replacing ...

One of My Favortie Cookbooks!
The recipes in this cookbook are fantastic. They are simple to make and absolutely delicious. Mama Dips has changed our long standing Thanksgiving tradition...her roated turkey recipe is so delectable we use this recipe now instead of the one that's been in use for the last 50 years. You won't go wrong with this cookbook. Highly recommended!!!

The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cuisine

Absolutely Outstanding- wonderfully illustrated too!
This is the most impressive book yet on cajun/ creole cooking. Outstanding in every way (except perhaps the cornbread, all of which had sugar in it, and grandma would whop him over the head with her iron skillet for THAT). Can't wait to cook from this. The recipes, history, festivals, photos, and everything else make this HUGE book indeed an encyclopedia. Impressive that the Italian and German ...
