If I had to keep only three cookbooks from my collection, this would be one of them.
My friend and I went shopping at a local non-chain bookstore. She bought this book and I wound up buying something along the lines of Cooking for One. When we got home, we discovered we both liked the other's purchase better. We traded, and boy am I glad! This book is full of very good *do-able* recipes. I personally like the variety they give you and all the recipes are especially good ...

balanced reporting
I was a little wary when purchasing this book that the entire premise would be zealotish anti-GMO and anti-biotechnology. The quotes on the cover seemed to indicate that would also be the case. I was extremely pleased to find a very balanced reporting of both sides of the genetic engineering debate. The author has been a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for over 2 decades, and has been ...

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

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 ...

I feel confident that I can order ...

Fran Warde

Ryland Peters & Small, 2005

Shamelessly take the credit for Fran Warde's easy, chic recipes!
I actually bought this book twice. Once, it was for around $75 in a Tokyo bookstore. (The second time was a few weeks ago from Amazon.) It was difficult to part with the $75, but after a month or so of wavering, I splurged. I never regretted it for a minute! Believe it or not, the first copy was stolen from me during a party (but at least the thief had good taste), and I looked for another ...

Easy and Elegant
I love to cook and this is my favorite cookbook. This is a collection of menus, with interesting combinations of courses. Each recipe is very clearly explained. The author uses store bought ingredients whenevr possible to save time, such as chutneys, etc. The food is very elegant, reasonably economical, and simple to prepare quickly. I found it at a "buck a book" store, you might too.
