Cooking with Sunshine: The Complete Guide to Solar Cuisine with 150 Easy Sun-Cooked Recipes7 reviews
Lorraine Anderson, Rick Palkovic

Da Capo Press, 2006

This is the reference I paid money for...
I usually preview my books by borrowing them from the library to see if they are worth buying. This is one that I chose for my personal collection. I also checked out "Cooking with the Sun" (by Halacy and Halacy), which had some good introductory information and interesting-looking recipes. However, as soon as I got to the list of supplies needed for actually building their solar oven ...

The Raw and the Cooked: Adventures of a Roving Gourmand12 reviews
Jim Harrison

Grove Press, 2002

Make the Meatballs!
Well, there certainly is more than enough erudition in all of these reviews. How about just enjoying the food, as Jim Harrison does? My copy is worn out from making the most fabulous meatball recipe on this earth! I have read all of Jim Harrison's books, but totally enjoy his take on life in his non-fiction particularly. Get over the fact that he overdoes the name-dropping. I lived in the ... 		  
  







  
  
Quick-Fix Vegetarian: Healthy Home-Cooked Meals in 30 Minutes or Less17 reviews
Robin Robertson

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2007

My new old-reliable
This isn't a cookbook that I obsessively earmarked only to forget about it within weeks. Rather, I scanned all of the recipes to get a gist for the ingredients used, and neatly placed into my "regular-use" stash of books. No, I didn't cook from it right away, but I knew I would return. And return I did ... within a week in fact. It hit on a night (okay, these nights happen to me often) where ...

Tori Ritchie

Chronicle Books, 2007

Great Book!
What a great book! I am making the meat dishes every weekend for the past month or so, and I haven't been disappointed yet. The "Pub Ribs" dish is simply great when paired with the Chedder Mash Potatoes dish, also found in the book. Just delicious so far! Unlike many cook books that seem to go out of their way to be overly complex, the ingredients and preparation techniques are very ... 		  
  







  
  
Cooked: From the Streets to the Stove, from Cocaine to Foie Gras47 reviews
Jeff Henderson

William Morrow, 2007

Getting Absorbed by Cooked
I first heard about Jeff Henderson from his television show The Chef Jeff Project in which Henderson, who spent 10 years in jail for drug trafficking, mentors troubled young adults in the area of fine cooking with the hope of steering them in the right direction and hooking them up for jobs. My expectations for the book were not high, as I feared this celebrity chef had simply "told his story" ...

Who Cooked the Last Supper: The Women's History of the World19 reviews
Rosalind Miles

Three Rivers Press, 2001

Can't stress how important this book is
I consider this the most important book I've read. In it are so many pieces of our human history that I've never encountered elsewhere or have been blatantly misrepresented. There are portions of the book that are deeply tragic but others are riotous fun and the overall history of half of humanity is one that everyone can feel inspired by. Assertions are backed up with thorough citations ...

Dave's Dinners: A Fresh Approach to Home-Cooked Meals6 reviews
Dave Lieberman

Hyperion, 2006

Dave Improves with Age. 4 and a half, with a bullet
`Dave's Dinners' by second string Food Network cooking show teacher, Dave Lieberman is an improvement over his first book, `Young & Hungary', since it discards any pretense of dealing with `economical' meals and does an earnest effort to focus almost exclusively on dinners, hence, the title of the book. This is one of those times when I wish Amazon would let me give four and a half stars, since: ... 		  
  







  
  
Grandma's Wartime Kitchen: World War II and the Way We Cooked7 reviews
Joanne Lamb Hayes

St. Martin's Press, 2000

The Greatest Generation of Cooks
Those of us living in this age of plenty have no idea what it was like to cook during World War II when sugar, butter, meat and oh, so many canned foods were rationed. I was a very little girl then and didn't understand so many of the hardships my mother endured. This book answers so many of the questions left unanswered and for me it is a joy to read. I do remember many of the recipes ...

I love Gooseberry Patch
First, let me say that I am a HUGE Gooseberry Patch fan. Currently I own six of their books: Slow Cooker Recipes, Best-Ever Casseroles, What's for Dinner?, Come on Over, One-Pot Meals and From Grandma's Kitchen. I just LOVE the books. The recipes are very easy, not too fancy, don't take long and always taste good. They are easy to read and the spiral binding keeps the books open flat. I think out ...
