Marcella Hazan

Macmillan, 1992

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 ...

Great cookbook for the person with Celiac
I have tried two of the recipes and found them both to be excellent. My brother has Celiac and I made him chocolate chip cookies for a graduation and he loved them. There were others at the party who did not know they were "special" cookies and they enjoyed the cookies as well. I also made a family cheese pie recipe that normally has a graham cracker crust and I subed their pie crust and it ...

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, ...

Favorite Memories
This book is full of precious memories for me. I can not remember a Christmas or occasion that my mother didn't pull this Cooky book out and flip threw it with me looking for the perfect cookies to bake. I'd spend days in the kitchen with my mother baking the most wonderful smelling and tasting cookies in the world to me. I'm now 33 and still flip threw this book finding cookies to bake for all ...

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 ...

Free Press, 2005

Great customer service!
The quality of the books are excellent. I had a problem receiving the books, though. When tracking them I was told they were delivered, but I had never received them. I got connected with customer service through the website and they helped make things right by re-sending my order. These books came in the same time I should have received my other books. I feel confident that I can order ...

More-with-less Cook Book

Doris Janzen Longacre

Lion Hudson Plc, 1981

22 years and still our family favorite
This little cookbook has seen us through lean years (with frequent of savory rice loaf), raising 3 kids ("Mom, could you PLEASE make some peanut-butter popcorn when our friends come over tonight"), my husband's favorite bread recipe, our essential pancake recipe, vegetable chowder, and many more. We finally broke down and bought a new copy, but I still find myself using the old one, navigating to ...

Alton Brown

"Stewart, Tabori and Chang", 2006

mmm education...
In this book Alton Brown stays true to who he is on the show. Entertaining and very insightful. This is a great book for someone who loves food and the process of cooking. Especially for those who are interested in the why part of the how. Highly recommended.

Weber's Big Book of Grilling

Jamie Purviance, Sandra S. McRae

Chronicle Books, 2001

Suitable as a Coffee Table Book!
This is not only a great book of recipes, but the high quality paper and the beautiful pictures make this a perfect coffee table book. Leaf through it when you have a few minutes to get inspired for the next grilled meal. I cook for myself and I like to keep things simple. When I see interesting recipes that list two or three ingredients that I know I would never have at the same time, I ...

Eat, Drink & Be Vegan: Great Vegan Food for Special and Everyday Celebrations

38 reviews
Dreena Burton

Arsenal Pulp Press, 2007

Excellent!
While I am not a vegan, I do dabble in vegan/vegetarian cooking. So far this cookbook has blown me away! The ingredients are focused on healthy fats and sugars and, of course, the emphasis on whole grains and organic veggies, which is really key for me. The Supercharge Me! cookies are mouth watering! They passed the "kid test" at home and with 2.5 grams of fiber per cookie, no proccessed ...

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse

John Stage, Nancy Radke

Ten Speed Press, 2001

An all-around great cookbook
I bought this book because a food blogger mentioned it in a post and boy am I glad I did. Every recipe sounds incredible and has given me ideas to keep cooking for months. Meatloaf, chicken, fish, beef - and then the side dishes -- and desserts! It is really an all around great cookbook. I can't wait to start making the recipes.

Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accompaniments

David Lebovitz

Ten Speed Press, 2007

I love this book!
Granted, ice cream recipes are all variations on a certain theme... but Dave Lebovitz has taken the trial-and-error out of figuring which variation makes the perfect chocolate ice cream, and which is good for fruit sorbet. I've tried 7 recipes from this book so far, and all of them have come out brilliantly. Buy it!

The Oxford Companion to Wine, 3rd Edition

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

It's all there
I would recommend this for anyone interested in wine from the novice to Robert Parker (I'm betting he has a copy). Four friends have purchased this book after looking at mine.

The Complete Asian Cookbook

Charmaine Solomon

Tuttle Publishing, 1992

A definite keeper - great selection of Asian recipes
Charmaine Solomon's The Complete Asian Cookbook is an excellent collection of recipes covering India & Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia & Laos, Vietnam, Philippines, China, Korea, and Japan. Though by no means comprehensive, the author does try to cover the basic recipes, regional favorites, and offers a variety of curries, noodle dishes, even ...

Memories of a Cuban Kitchen: More Than 200 Classic Recipes

Mary Urrutia Randelman, Joan Schwartz

Wiley, 1996

Greatest CUBAN HOME COOKING book ever!
After sitting in the bookstore, going over about 10-20 so called Cuban recipe cookbooks, this is the ONE in my kitchen. Both my parents are from Cuba, I was born there as well, so naturally my siblings and I grew up on traditional Cuban recipes. This book is the closest to Mom's cooking I have ever found, and with some help from Mom, these recipes are just like being home. Easy to follow, ...

The Tassajara Bread Book

Edward Espe Brown

Shambhala, 1995

Don't be afraid of the bread
For years I have been intimidated by bread - previous attempts have been disasterous: I have baked loaves so dense they have their own gravitational field, or a bread-like substance somewhat akin to crackers lies in the bread pan. I had almost given up on it, until a friend handed me this book and said, "Don't be afraid of the bread - try this." The recipies are simple, and the instructions ...

Chocolates and Confections: Formula, Theory, and Technique for the Artisan Confectioner

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.

The Bartender's Black Book, Eighth Edition: 2,800 New and Classic Recipes

Stephen Kittredge Cunningham

Wine Appreciation Guild, 2006

Informative book for amateurs
This is an informative book that is fairly easy to use. You can search based on what kind of alcohol you have, if you want frozen or mixed drinks, and then just look up the drink (they're all listed in alphabetical order, regardless of what type of drink it is). There are also suggestions on drinks and tipping bartenders. And there's a nice section about wines, too (although I'm not quite sure ...
