Time to Make the Donuts: The Founder of Dunkin Donuts Shares an American Journey 10 reviews
William Rosenberg
Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2001
From the Kitchens of Boston to your Left Ventricle
Amateur chefs making an impulse purchase on the basis of the book's title will want to reconsider, as this is NOT a how-to guide to the making of this distinctly American confection. I myself was bitterly disappointed to make this discovery. However since I was trapped in the purgatory of traffic school when I furtively cracked its cover, I decided to forge ahead with this ghost-written ...

Gourmet Meals in Minutes 11 reviews

The Rolls Royce of meals in minutes cookbooks
I love cookbooks. I have an extensive collection. I taught myself how to cook using cookbooks so I believe a good cookbook is one that inspires and should be understandable and reasonably easy to use; with that in mind I love this cookbook.
A big reason I love this book is because it does not try to trick you into believing that a great meal will just magically appear in 30 minutes. This book ...

Book of Soups: More than 100 Recipes for Perfect Soups19 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 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 ...

Amazing
This book has some great (different recipes). Obvioulsy there are going to be some recipes that do not appeal to everyone (Grilled octopus) but there are so many others from meat to veggies to fruit to breakfast. Even if you are not a fan of the type of meat (rabbit) you can always sub a different meat. The helpful hints throughout the book were excellent. When I first got the book I sat with a ...

Fun and Entertaining
Although there are recipes in this book, it is much more than a cookbook. It is an interesting and entertaining look at America's eateries. Each entry contains a short history or background on the establishment, its food, and the people who work there and eat there, followed by a recipe or two. Anyone who travels and has eaten "roadfood" (or just dreams of it!) will enjoy this well-written book. ...

Clean, Simple, Easy on the Eyes
For people who are depressed and find reading difficult - this book is especially smooth and pleasant to hold and look at, inside and out. The pages and text are wonderfully designed with color and open space, making it so easy and inviting to actually read the words. Author, Dr. Buckman communicates a lot of meaning without a lot of verbiage. I would recommend this as one of the very first ...

The Hot Dog Companion: All About The Foods We Love To Eat--With A Side Of Guilt (Fast Food Companions)4 reviews
David Graulich
Lebhar-Friedman Books, 1999
The true food of all good Democrats
Any book about hot dogs which ignores jalapeno peppers, ketchup, mayonaise and the Democrats has missed the essentially American flavour of this food.
Maybe Graulich is a Republican and doesn't know better. They're used to eating pointy little sandwiches with the crusts cut off and stuffed with unmentionable fillings, while daintily sipping tiny cups of tea flavoured lightly with lemon. ...

The Sardine Factory : An Insider's Look at the Famed Restaurant and Its Cuisine1 review
Bill Keenan
Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2000
The Cooking Club Review of This Book
The Sardine Factory of Monterey, California began in the condemned cafeteria of an abandoned fish processing plant in an obscure neighborhood that had fallen on bad times. Although immortalized by John Steinbeck in his novel "Cannery Row", Moneterey's fishing business had, more or less, ended by 1968 when restaurateurs Bert Cutino and Ted Balestreri opened The Sardine Factory. Since then the ...
