Awfully Good Recipes!
Billy Joel is sure a lucky guy snaring Miss Katie Lee as his wife. This is a Southern girl who stays true to her roots and it shows in her delicious recipes. Her Buttermilk Pancakes with Caramelized Bananas are incrdible as well as her homey Chicken Pot Pie. This is a marvelous book to have in your collection!

Barefoot in Paris: Easy French Food You Can Make at Home74 reviews
Ina Garten
Clarkson Potter, 2004
French Cuisine
Ina Garten has created an impressive cookbook designed for anyone interested in making French food at home. Everything looks so delicious, so where do you begin? I decided to try the "Spinach in Puff Pastry." While I was making the recipe I substituted mozzarella for the Gruyere cheese and left out the nutmeg and pine nuts. Quite a few of the recipes rely on Gruyere cheese, which you may or may ...

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 ...

Alton Brown
Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2008
Trip Down Memory Lane
I grew up on the Mississippi and many parts of the book took me back to a wonderful time in my life....the 1950's, before the interstate highway system. Our family vacations were spent meandering along the highways of the day, now called back roads, and discovering all that there was to be discovered and eventually getting to our destination. Feasting on Asphalt The River Run is very well ...

Hungry for Paris: The Ultimate Guide to the City's 102 Best Restaurants14 reviews
Alexander Lobrano
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008
The next Patricia Wells
20 some years ago Patricia Wells' Food Lovers Guide to Paris changed my approach to dining in Paris, but that source has been woefully absent for some time. Hungry for Paris now has pride of place on my travel bookshelf. First, the writing is so good you almost feel like you're there - and you can only read two or three reviews at a time, because you get too hungry. Face it, Paris is ...

Delisously edible!
Not only are the recipes inside delicious, but the pages look edible! A beautiful book both visually and spiritually. To have a culinary volume include such incredible recipes and meaningful information on Sephardic customs is both heartwarming and inspiring. After receiving this book, I loved it so much that I bought 3 more as gifts! I just want to know how Poopa and her family can eat like ...

This book has a more wide content of dishes, a chapter devoted to ceremonies and a lot of pictures, many with food and many devoted to Persian culture. It is not generally known that Persian Cooking was and is rather modern, previewing ...

Avery, 2004
NOT for the Fast-raw-foodist but for those that LOVE to cook this is it!! YUM!!
I love this book. After buying Gabriel Cousen's Rinbow Green Live-Food Cuisine I was curious to try converting to raw. Unfortunately as a food LOVER it was hard finding complex and tasty tempters which could convince me to convert for good. This book is it. Everything in the recipe section is created using a variety of fresh complimentary flavors YEAH!! and TONS of desserts! Double-YEAH!

Bento Boxes: Japanese Meals on the Go38 reviews
Naomi Kijima
Japan Publications Trading, 2001
Excellent Bento Lunches
This book is both an excellent introduction to bento lunches and a great inspiration for experienced cooks packing bentos for their loved ones. I have made nearly every recipe in this book and I have not been disappointed. Each recipe is made in a small quantity and most can be made in under 30 minutes, making this an excellent cookbook for small households (1-2 people). I have also increased ...

Very practical cook book
I love Indian food and I often have it for lunch at a nearby
restaurant. My wife has been disappointed in the dishes she
ordered in restaurants over the years. I bought this book based
on the reviews and I haven't been disappointed. I found the book
very clear in its description of the recipes. The photographs
were helpful in selecting the next dish to make. I'm extremely

American Pie: My Search for the Perfect Pizza38 reviews

Ten Speed Press, 2003
Perfect pie!
If you want to make wonderful pizza at home, don't let the negative comments about this book put you off from ordering it as I did for too long. The editing oversights are insignificant when you consider what you get out of this book. And, seriously, how hard is it to use Google or Wikipedia to learn about instant yeast or high-gluten flour or focaccia?
My husband and I live in a ...

I would look at the results Tim Van Orden at running [...] is getting. He is beating world elite skyscraping running and endurance athletes after having only been on an e-x-ceptionally minimally raw food diet for 2 years, having only been running for two years and is a late age in running circles of 38.

Vegan Italiano: Meat-free, Egg-free, Dairy-free Dishes from Sun-Drenched Italy9 reviews
Donna Klein
HP Trade, 2006
I'm loving it
I bought this fairly recently and I've made a number of dishes from it that have all turned out perfectly. I'm thrilled to have found a vegan cookbook that uses simple, healthy ingredients with no tofu or meat substitutes in sight!
I've served a couple of these meals to non-vegetarians and they were super impressed! Donna Klein is my new favourite vegetarian cookery writer.
