Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking177 reviews
Jeff Hertzberg, Zoe Francois

Thomas Dunne Books, 2007

This is the Greatest!!!
My sister turned me on to this book and bought a copy for me. I was interested because she had made a number of excellent breads when I came to visit. After returning home, my daughter and I made our first batch of standard dough and baked our first loaf. Baking has never been easy for me. I like the fact that the dough stores for up to two weeks, and the crust is crisp while the inside is light ...

Lisa Lillien

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008

Glad I bought it!
I purchased 3 of these books for me and my two daughters for xmas. It is really informative and I keep it out and get a lot of great ideas. I get e-mails everyday from Hungry Girl and it is so nice to have a book at hand to remember a lot of the things I would like to try. It was worth the investment. 		  
  







  
  
Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites13 reviews
Giada De Laurentiis

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Good addition to the kichen library
I have earlier acquired and used one of Giada De Laurentiis' cookbooks, "Everyday Pasta," which was jammed with good pasta recipes. None that I ever tried turned out to be a dud. So, I took a look at another of her books, "Giada's Kitchen." Again, this is a fine resource. She begins be speaking to her approach (Page 10): "These days, my palate responds most to clean, vibrant, simple flavors, ... 		  
  







  
  
Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life12 reviews
Jamie Oliver

Hyperion, 2008

Making food fresh, local, simple and delicious
I loved the series and the cookbook is a great companion in the kitchen. Jamie Oliver has convinced me that we can make small differences to our habits when cooking that make big changes not only for our palettes but for our communities. I now will go the extra step to try to buy local when possible. I will search out available farmer's markets. I will speak with the grocer as to why there is ...

Martha Stewart's Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook8 reviews
Martha Stewart

Clarkson Potter, 2008

a must have for beginners like me
I enjoy cooking but often when I find recipes to make they are very complicated with a lot of ingrediants and do not give very good directions. This book explained so much to me and I often use it as a reference when I don't know how to do something. All the recipes I've tried taste great and don't require excessive ingrediates. Martha Stewart created a winner with this one. 		  
  







  
  
Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: An All-American Road Trip . . . with Recipes! (Food Network)44 reviews
Guy Fieri, Ann Volkwein

William Morrow Cookbooks, 2008

Interesting Profile of American "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives"
Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-in's and Dives is a very interesting concept for a book, adapted from his hit show. Each restaurant is profiled with some history and claim to fame. The book is sorted by part of the USA, rather than the type of meal. The photos are of the restaurants and owners, not of the recipes in the book. In the back, the book lists all the recipes by breakfast, lunch, ...

Rachael Ray's Big Orange Book: Her Biggest Ever Collection of All-New 30-Minute Meals Plus Kosher Meals, ...3 reviews
Rachael Ray

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Quintessential Rachael
If you watch Ray's show or have other cookbooks by the author, and you looked through Rachael Ray's Big Orange Book without glancing at the cover, you would immediately know it was hers. To begin with, it's loaded with her unique language--EVOO (extra virgin olive oil,) "sammies" (sandwiches,) and more. The largest section of the book is comprised of Ray's famous 30 minute meals. This ...

Grant Achatz

Ten Speed Press, 2008

Absolutely Beautiful!
This book is stunning--beautifully designed and photographed and very interesting to read! I live far away from Chicago, and may never get to go to Alinea, but reading this book is like stepping into a magical food world. I might not ever cook anything from it, but I know that I will look at it often to stimulate my imagination to try create my own edible works of art. This is a wonderful gift ...

Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats318 reviews
Sally Fallon

NewTrends Publishing, Inc., 1999

must have!!
This cookbook is a must have. I learned so much about how foods are supposed to be prepared, that I had never even heard of before. This is phenomenal resource for learning about the body and how it actually uses natural fats and how they are good for you. This is a must read. I take it with me everywhere and read a little at a time. It seems there is more to learn on every page.

Devin Alexander, Karen Kaplan, ...

Rodale Books, 2006

I had doubts but healthy really can taste amazing!!!
Wow!! So far I've made at least 10 dishes from this cookbook and I am really impressed!! The ingredients are usually very easy to find and for the most part each recipe only requires a few ingredients. The recipes are mostly made for 1-4 servings which is convenient if you are single or if you are just cooking healthy for yourself and not for your whole family. I have been scaling the recipes ... 		  
  







  
  
A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes2 reviews
David Tanis

Artisan, 2008

Delightful and inspiring
How can you not love someone who writes, "What makes a boy from Ohio, born in the wrong century, raised on Tater Tots and Birds Eye, end up wanting to eat like a Greek peasant for breakfast, a French peasant for lunch, and a Moroccan peasant for dinner?" This book is beautiful, inspiring, intelligent and unpretentious. It is laid out by seasonal menu, rather than classes of food, and gets you ...

I've made at least 12 recipes from this book already and all have been delicious. My kids LOVE the salmon cakes. The sausage and penne was also a hit. I would highly recommend this book to a family who is trying to find delicious recipes to eat healthier. 		  
  







  
  
Joy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006163 reviews
Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker, ...

Scribner, 2006

The Joys of Joy
Joy of Cooking is downright amazing. It's rare that I need a recipe that I can't find in here. And never has this book let me down. I love cookbooks. I have the ones by famous chefs, I have the local collections put together by churches. I have the ones that are put out by magazines and the ones put together by websites. I've got some like this, densely packed with information but not a ...

Mark Bittman

Wiley, 2008

A Classic Got Even Better
I got my copy of the new edition of How to Cook Everything the other day and am beyond thrilled. I own the old yellow edition and have cooked from it far more than any other book, so I knew the new book had a lot to live up to. Well, it by far exceeded my expectations. While the book still feels familiar, it also feels new and improved. The essential recipe sections beginning each chapter are ...
