Jan Karon's Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader: Recipes from Mitford Cooks, Favorite Tales from Mitford ...43 reviews
Jan Karon

Viking Adult, 2004

One of My Favorite Cookbooks
As a dedicated reader of Jan Karon's books, I had to buy Jan Karon's Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader: Recipes from Mitford Cooks, Favorite Tales from Mitford Books (Mitford) as soon as it was available. During a lonely time in my life, I listened to the audio versions of Karon's books. The Mitford community became another one of my communities, and the families of Mitford became part of ...

Book of Soups: More than 100 Recipes for Perfect Soups18 reviews
Culinary Institute of America

Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2001

Deliciousness in a bowl . . .
This book is fantastic. In fact, the recipe for the most delicious soup I've ever had -- Minnesota Wild Rice Soup (with carrots, celery, leeks, heavy cream, and white wine) came out of this book. Of course, I may be a bit biased, being a Minnesota girl, but I don't think so. Dang it, now I'm hungry for soup. 		  
  







  
  
The New Food Lover's Companion: Comprehensive Definitions of over 3000 Food, Wine, and Culinary Terms ...83 reviews
Sharon Tyler Herbst

Barrons Educational Series Inc, 1995

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, ...

Kiko Denzer, Hannah Field

Hand Print Press, 2007

Great Book
This was a great book with lots of information about building your own mud oven. It was easy to follow how to build the oven and there was a lot of explaining about how and why every little thing worked. 		  
  







  
  
On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen169 reviews
Harold McGee

Scribner, 1984

Great Book!
This book is great for students and teachers that want to know the scientific information about cooking and baking. For example it explains the chemical changes in leavening, emulsions, and so much more. It talks about the nature of plants, dairy, all of the cookingmethods. Oh I dont think the author missed a single detail in this hows, whys, and whos of cooking. I highly recommended it to keep ...

the new Joy of Cooking
I have just discovered this timing book. Amazing! I never knew how simple cooking could be to get the perfect result. Thank you for helping to make me the chef I've always wanted to be. Everything I needed to know was answered. YEA! 		  
  







  
  
Recipes and Remembrances from an Eastern Mediterranean Kitchen: A Culinary Journey through Syria, Lebanon, ...22 reviews
Sonia Uvezian

The Siamanto Press, 2004

The one eastern Mediterranean cookbook I wouldn't be without
I was thoroughly disgusted to read the baseless criticisms of this superb cookbook. It is precisely to obtain an accurate account of the cookery of this region along with first-rate recipes that one needs to own "Recipes and Remembrances." Although Claudia Roden's "A New Book of Middle Eastern Food" is better than Paula Wolfert's "The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean," when it comes to ... 		  
  







  
  
Chocolates and Confections: Formula, Theory, and Technique for the Artisan Confectioner39 reviews
Peter P. Greweling, The Culinary Institute of America (CIA)

Wiley, 2007

The First Serious Book for Chocolatiers
This book is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. I am getting into the chocolate business and have a recent certificate in chocolate making. Of all of the books I have read on chocolate making, this one has the best lay out and photographs. The how to sections are easily read for the amateur but very comprehensive for those wishing to read further. 		  
  







  
  
Le Cordon Bleu's Complete Cooking Techniques : the indispensable reference demonstates over 700 illustrated ...24 reviews
Le Cordon Bleu

William Morrow Cookbooks, 1997

If you like to eat, but have no idea where to start preparing or buying food, this is a great start!
This is a great aid in really understanding how to do almost anything basic in the kitchen - from picking produce at precisely the right time to making cheese in your own home. This is not a cookbook - although some basic recipes are covered for the purpose of instruction. I got this book and read it cover to cover in one sitting - I discovered I had been doing some things incorrectly or ... 		  
  







  
  
The Great Scandinavian Baking Book16 reviews
Beatrice A. Ojakangas

University of Minnesota Press, 1999

Scandinavian Cook book
I'm very satisfied with my purchase of this cookbook. Being of Norwegian decent, it was very nice to see recipies from my fathers homeland. I've already made 2 things out of the cookbook, and can't wait to go home and make something for my father to bring back some memories to him. 		  
  







  
  
The Cook's Book13 reviews

DK ADULT, 2007

For Beginners and Seasoned Cooks Alike
"The Cook's Book" by Jill Norman is a text that has increased my kitchen skills by leaps and bounds. Regular pizza became stuffed pizza pie, ordinary chocolate chip cookies took on a cappuccino flare, and maduros were added to our realm of savory side dishes. (See site for photos.) More than these particular dishes, "The Cook's Book" expanded my knowledge of cooking techniques. I learned, for ... 		  
  







  
  
Essential Etiquette Fundamentals, Vol. 1: Dining Etiquette15 reviews
Mike Lininger

Yellowstone Publishing, 2007

Fine Dining Made Easy
The last book on CD my wife and I bought was terrible: mens' voices for female characters, etc. And what's the alternative on the radio? Pop music or Howard Stern? I spend twenty percent of my waking life in my car. I might as well spend it wisely. The Food Scholar is easy listening and presented in a way that makes the information easy to learn and remember.

This book is unlike any other cookbook that I have pruchased or read. It is written with clarity and with great efforts to simplify every resipe to anyone who is not familiar with Iraqi cooking. The author explains every dish; its orgion, its flavor and its popualrity in Iraq. I bought five copies and gave them as gifts. everyone got it enjoyed reading it and cooked some dishes

Junior League of Denver, John Fielder, ...

Junior League of Denver, 1987

My most-used cookbook
I have over 200 cookbooks, I often times go to sleep reading cookbooks and I relate to the world in many aspects through my stomach. I love food and cooking. This is definitely my most-used cookbook, I don't know how many times I've looked for a recipe, finally gotten this book out and there it was all the time. I consult this book first. I have several Junior League cookbooks, this is my ...

Fabulous
Karri Ann Allrich does it again in this new cookbook, Cooking By Moonlight. In this book, she explains what foods, herbs and spices should be eaten with each lunar phase as well as which season, and provides details why these food items are so important to us physically and spiritually, as well as why each lunar phase is so important to us as well. She includes a dictionary that gives ... 		  
  







  
  
Breakfasts & Brunches (Culinary Institute of America)13 reviews
The Culinary Institute of America

Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2005

Great B&B cookbook
I have plenty of cookbooks, but this was my main standby in the first year of our bed and breakfast. The sausage gravy, waffles and granola never fail to please our guests. And none of the recipes are too complicated to make in a hurry in the morning. I wish the book were totally focused on breakfast, because we don't serve brunch. But if we did, this book would be perfect and cover all the ... 		  
  







  
  
Colorado Collage (Celebrating Twenty Five Years of Culinary Artistry)16 reviews
Junior League of Denver

Junior League of Denver, 1995

Impressive
I am very impressed with this cookbook. I've lived in Colorado for nearly a decade and had seen this cookbook in lots of homes and stores. It seemed like a 'tourist' attraction... boy, was I wrong. I love this cookbook for a number of reasons. One, my food is devoured by family and friends and they actually 'ask' for my recipes! (A secret dream of mine). Secondly, my kitchen seems to be ...

A fascinating book, full of history and culinary delights, "Seventh Daughter" is an autobiography of a Chinese woman, who, on a visit to San Francisco, started a restaurant that became a legend in the city. She had never been allowed in the kitchen as a young daughter in a traditional Chinese home. It combines her story along with recipes and hints for a well-stocked kitchen.

The Arab Table: Recipes and Culinary Traditions16 reviews
May Bsisu

William Morrow Cookbooks, 2005

May Shakhashir Bsisu's Book is also Good for Vegans
There are recipes such as Spinach Triangles, Onion Rice, Fava Bean Salad, and many others that are purely vegan. The good thing with most middleastern recipes (Arab & Iranian) is that you can omit the meat (or replace the broth with water) and still have a great-tasting food (soy ground meat is also an amazing substitute for real ground beef). This book is also good for families who want to ...
