Stacy Cohen

Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2007

Spectacular lifestyle, FABULOUS recipes
Regardless of what comments say, the bottom line is that Stacy Cohen has elevated the stodgy, starchy, fattening, generally revolting excuse for edible that kosher food can often be, and has instead created something that every person---Jew and non-Jew alike--can serve to loved ones, guests, and at every sort of event imaginable. Sure, some of this book is pure inspiration/aspiration, but that's ...

Neil Connolly, Elizabeth Benedict

DK ADULT, 2007

Exquisite Kennedy recipes and Photos!
This book contains recipes and recollections of a great American family, the Kennedy's. It contains the family's favorite, Meat Loaf. I made this on 4-27-07 and it was incredibly delicious! The Lobster Stew is a rich stew which is quick to make and elegant at the same time. The Honey-Pecan Sweet Potatoes are so good, you'll want to slap someone! You will also enjoy the family fotos included in ...

Love It!!!
When my grandmother recently called to say she wanted to visit Disney, I was a bit hesitant. I assumed that we would face too many obstacles to enjoy a visit since she doesn't walk very well and is diabetic. But aiming to please my favorite grandmother, I began researching our options and stumbled upon this excellent book by author Stephen Ashley. We used the book as a tool when we planned ...

Should be required reading for everyone who dines out
Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (8/06) "Fine Dining Madness: The rules & realities of fine dining," should be required reading for everyone that dines out. John Galloway writes about his personal experiences in the restaurant business from the restaurant employee angle. From his experiences, I learned a lot about what not to do if I don't want bad things happening to my food. ...

Lee Hall, Priscilla Feral

Friends of Animals' Nectar Bat Press, 2005

Easy to prepare with great results!
Dining with Friends has many great vegan recipes that my family and I have enjoyed. The Lentil Orzo Casserole is fabulous and the Cashew Cream Lasagna was a huge hit. My teenage sons lapped up the Cream of Broccoli soup. The recipe for Braised Brussel Sprouts is a tasty new way to prepare this often overlooked vegetable. They were so good that my son and I ate them all and had none to bring to ...

Good Food in Mexico City: A Guide to Food Stalls, Fondas and Fine Dining

Nicholas Gilman

iUniverse, Inc., 2007

I'm Getting Hungry
This is the book I was hoping for. My best memories of Mexico tend to be of and around food. Planning another trip to Mexico City, I've been through the mainstream guidebooks, which are generally out of date and written at "arm's distance" from the food, the restaurants and the people who prepare it. Not the case with this book. I now have more options for great food than I will have time to ...

Dining Tables: Outstanding Projects from America's Best Craftsmen

Kim Carleton Graves, Masha Zager

Taunton, 2002

Everything I Expected, and More!
I bought this book looking for a design I could use for a dining room table. What I found was not only a design that I loved, but clear step-by-step instructions, drawings, and great photographs. The section on table building basics which covers table size and clearance, wood movement, and torsion box construction was extremely informative.

Essential Etiquette Fundamentals, Vol. 1: Dining Etiquette

15 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.

Essential Etiquette Fundamentals, Vol. 2: Wine Selection & Etiquette

Mike Lininger

Yellowstone Publishing, 2007

Excellent Resource For Novice Wine Drinkers
Although drinking good wine isn't difficult, learning about wine can be. Once on a winery tour a vintner explained that there are 15,000 different choices that can be made from grape to bottle. Sometimes picking out a wine can seem daunting. Food Scholar's Wine Selection & Etiquette does a superior job of teaching those of us who would like to learn more without the information being overkill. ...

Leanne Ely

Ballantine Books, 2005

Great way to plan for get-togethers!
I had already purchased Leanne's Saving Dinner book and loved it. I got this to make having people over for holidays, get-togethers, etc easier. It has. I dont exactly like all the recipes in it but it gives you great infomation, tips and timelines for making meals and memories. I liked the valentines day chocolate fest and the ideas for a grown-up b-day party. And Thanksgiving Day is not to be ...

Win Her With Dinner

Rodale Books, 2004

Some great ideas in a very funny book
I've given this book to several guy friends and they've loved it! It's really funny, lots of guy-speak, but with some great recipes and some really good ideas for the dating-challenged male. The recipes are from a woman who's a personal chef to some celebs in LA, but they're easy to follow even if defrosting is all the cooking you do. The book also has this cool section on great dinner date ...

Letitia Baldrige

Doubleday, 1998

A Welcome Antidote To Those OTHER Kennedy Books...
This is a marvellous, beautifully presented look at the entertaining done by President and Mrs. Kennedy during their too-brief thousand days in the White House. Letitia Baldrige was Mrs. Kennedy's Social Secretary, and she has collaborated with Kennedy White House Chef Rene Verdon on reminiscences and recipes that really do evoke that very special time and place. Baldrige's anecdotes give ...

Non-gluten delectabilities!
After going gluten free a year ago, I thought I'd never bake anything good again. But this book and its predecessor, The Gluten-free Gourmet, changed my mind! Because I'm also sugar free, baking is an extra large challenge. But these recipes along with xylitol sweetener have gotten me back in business. What a great find! Thanks, Bette!

A Valuable Contribution to Independent Living
Ginny Gordon Walters has assembled a collection of tasteful and tasty recipes that my 79 year-old mother finds nutritional and easy to prepare; whether cooking for just herself or for a family gathering. The general tips, along with the graphics of special utensils, I found very helpful in trying to provide mom with cookware that can make things a bit easier on her arthritic hands. Ms. Walters' ...

Manners Made Fun!
You've Got Manners is a delightful, creative book which makes learning manners a fun and interesting "game" for children of all ages. It can be used as a learning tool whether at the dinner table, eating out or traveling, and all family members can participate. I love the author's use of illustrations and vivid primary colors which are instrumental in keeping a child's attention. The author ...

Pacific Northwest Wining and Dining
To counter the damp and dreary days of winter I surround myself with distractions that promise better days to come. At the top of my pile is Braiden Rex-Johnson's Pacific Northwest Wining and Dining. Just looking at the cover of this love letter to NW cuisine warms me. I imagine myself dining al fresco on the patio of this restaurant or a myriad of others. Then I pour over the interior pages, ...

Didn't your mom tell you,"You're what you eat"?
A great little book that tells you everything you would want to know about what you eat and drink--and many things you may be better off not knowing.Glance at a few things in this book before you go out to eat and/or drinking and you'll be able to spout out a few things that will amaze everyone with your profound knowledge. First of all,I gotta warn you,this book is very heavily weighted ...

Good Things to Eat

9 reviews
Rufus Estes, D. J. Frienz

Howling at the Moon Press, 1999

A Wonderful Little Gem
Usually, I consider reading a cookbook somewhat like reading the telephone book. But not "Good Things to Eat". "Rufus" conveys his joy of cooking in a natural, matter-of-fact manner, lean of descriptive narration, lending eloquence to the food itself. Many of the dishes in his book seem quite exotic to us now - Salmi of Game, Orange Fool, Snippodoodles, Spawn and Milk, Pineapple Marshmallows ...

Kevin Mills, Nancy Mills

Houghton Mifflin, 2006

I'm an amateur chef and loved this book!
My cooking experience includes making boxed macaroni and cheese and toast. I received this book as a gift last year but just recently put it to use. Over the last month, I have worn it out! I am a vegetarian but also wanted to cook for friends who are meat-eaters. The book includes many receipes for everyone. The receipes are easy to understand and fun to read. Kevin and Nancy Mills have a ...
