Memories of a Cuban Kitchen: More Than 200 Classic Recipes50 reviews
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, ... 		  
  







  
  
Men's Health Muscle Chow: More Than 150 Meals to Feed Your Muscles and Fuel Your Workouts37 reviews
Gregg Avedon

Rodale Books, 2007

Definitely worth it!
This book is very cool. Gregg does a nice job of compiling recipes that are easy and taste good. Also, the three phases he recommends (Relaxed phase, lean phase, ripped phase) really helped me to strike a balance in my nutrition plan. Bottom line: I am in much better shape than I was before I started using Gregg's nutrition guidelines. I consistently use this book 5-6 days out of the ...

Johnna Albi

St. Martin's Griffin, 1996

Fabulous!
In all my years as an Amazon shopper, this is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review. This is a great book. I have cooked numerous recipes and have been very impressed by all of them. In fact, she has a recipe for a meatloaf pinwheel that is the first meatloaf that I have ever liked. (There is a layer of kale and spinach that is rolled up with the meat. Delicious!) The ... 		  
  







  
  
More Than Anything Else56 reviews

Scholastic, 1997

"More Than Anything Else" - a review
Well, 53 Five Star reviews pretty much says it all. This is a beautiful book. Not only is the artwork superb (see the cover and Amazon's "Search Inside This Book" feature) but the story is glorious. A triumph of the human spirit when everything in the immediate environment says 'give up' and 'don't dare to dream'. In this fictionalized story of Booker T. Washington, a young boy ignores ... 		  
  







  
  
I Love You More Than Rainbows28 reviews
Susan E. Crites

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Wonderful Book!!!
This book reminds me of Munsch's "Love You Forever" and seems destined to find just such a place in the hearts of young readers. In addition to those that I purchased for friends and family, I donated copies of this book to our church library - and have been told that it is a very popular selection! I highly recommend this timeless and beautifully illustrated book for people of all ages. 		  
  







  
  
Heirloom Baking with the Brass Sisters: More than 100 Years of Recipes Discovered from Family Cookbooks, ...20 reviews
Marilynn Brass, Sheila Brass

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2006

watch out for the pan sizes
I am giving this book five stars because every recipe I have tried has been, if not outrageously good, then at least delicious. Plus, the text is interesting and the pictures of antique kitchenware are great, making this my favorite cookbook to bake from right now. I am starting to notice a trend though, after making the chocolate peanut butter cake. It did not fit in the pan size that was ...

Jan Brett Night Before Christmas
I LOVE Jan Brett's books! I buy them anytime I see them whether on sale, old ones on Amazon as remainders, or new.. They make great gifts. I have a backup of many to give to children, particularly my granddaughters. The illustrations in this one are so beautiful it is really a keepsake to save as well as enjoy. Give it as a gift and you will make some child very happy and a parent happy,too. 		  
  







  
  
The Complete Medicinal Herbal: A Practical Guide to the Healing Properties of Herbs, with More Than 250 ...20 reviews
Penelope Ody

DK ADULT, 1993

Beautiful Reference and CoffeeTable Book
A must have book! If looking for an exhaustive herbal, you might try the German monographs, and others (although I've yet to see an all exhaustive on herbology), but for home or professional use, this is an awesome book! Has some projects, and many uses for the herbs that are in this wonderful book. A library wouldn't be complete without it! 		  
  







  
  
Hard Won Wisdom: More than 50 Extraordinary Women Mentor You Find Self Awareness persp Balance17 reviews
Fawn Germer

Perigee Trade, 2001

proud to be a woman
I was given this book as a gift and wasn't intentionally reading it as a Self Help book. I found that I couldn't put it down, pulled out my high-lighter as I was reading it and started highlighting and starring as I read. Fawn didn't simply interview and tell a story. She wove the lives of these exceptional ecletic women telling of their trials and tribulations, their perserverence, and the ...

His book combines the wisdom of A Course in Miracles, The Artist's Way, 12 Steps, Wayne Dyer, The Four Agreements, and other spiritual guides, with his own experiences in the business world.

Saved By Soup: More Than 100 Delicious Low-Fat Soups To Eat And Enjoy Every Day19 reviews
Judith Barrett

William Morrow Cookbooks, 1999

A real gem.
Even though I almost never cook, the soups in this book are *so* simple and *so* tasty that I use it regularly. The format of the book is wonderful and the recipes extremely easy to understand and follow. Oh, and did I mention that they are delicious?! Do yourself a favor and make double quantities and freeze what you can't use right away. That way you can have tasty soup at hand through the ... 		  
  







  
  
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. 		  
  







  
  
Lemon Zest: More Than 175 Recipes with a Twist20 reviews
Lori Longbotham

Broadway, 2002

Crazy for Lemon
I simply love this book. It is clear that the author spent a lot of time researching and getting lots of good information for us home cooks. I never dreamed there were so many ways to use this inexpensive citrus fruit. Lori's recipes using the zest, peel, fruit, juice have opened my eyes to the many flavorful possibilities that abound. I will never waste any part of lemons again! It was so smart ...

Camilla V. Saulsbury

Cumberland House Publishing, 2004

Well used, very well liked
This is a cookbook I really do use--a lot. I like some of the very easiest recipes in here, especially the variations on the chocolate chip cookies. They really taste unique. A friend of a friend who worked as a pstry chef thought the peppery ginger chocolate chip cookies (they have cryst. ginger and pepper mixed in) were brilliant and wanted the recipe--thy're that good. Smart ideas, smart book, ...

This is so great, that I am ordering another copy
I bought this as a gift for a friend who enjoys knowing all the lyrics of songs. In this book, he discovered some intros and verses he hadn't known. He has enjoyed the book so much that I am going to buy one for myself. 		  
  







  
  
The Herb Book: The Complete and Authoritative Guide to More Than 500 Herbs19 reviews
John B. Lust

Beneficial Books, 2001

This is the One.
This is the one, the one book I feel anyone serious about herbs should have in their collection. It has proved invaluable to me in so many ways. It includes cosmetic and medicinal for most any herb you can think of. It is also good for information on traditional uses and background knowledge. It can be a bit overwhelming at first but once you get a grasp on how it is organised (it didn't take me ...
