Sasquatch Books, 2004

Love it!
I love this cookbook. I got it 2 wks ago for my b-day. At 34, I have grown up using teflon pans, so cast iron cooking is new to me. I have made a lot of the recipes, and they all have been great! The meatloaf, the roast chicken with rosemary garlic and maple balsamic glaze, the chicken with herbed dumplings. One of my fav's is the garlic spiced prawns - a easy quick meal. My whole family of ...

Book Lust: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Reason (LUST)

Nancy Pearl

Sasquatch Books, 2003

To be skimmed - eclectic but certainly not all- inclusive
I love books about books. Nancy Pearl also loves books and books about books, and compiles here a long list of favorites. She provides short- summaries of the books. She has a long list of categories in which she does this, but many of the categories I most care about including those in the realm of politics, religion, philosophy, poetry are not listed at all. She has a broad taste but to my mind ...

Feeding the Whole Family: Cooking with Whole Foods

Cynthia Lair

Sasquatch Books, 2008

Clear and sensible
I love the ideas in this cookbook, which focuses on whole foods the entire family will enjoy. It's clear and sensible, and includes a couple hundred pages of recipes. What makes a whole food? Author Cynthia Lair writes that the best way to determine whether a food is whole or not is to ask these questions: * Can I imagine it growing? (It's tough to imagine a field of marshmallows.) * How ...

Nancy Pearl

Sasquatch Books, 2005

If You're Stumped For a Good Read...Read This
The moment I finished Pearl's first book, Book Lust, I reached for its sequel, More Book Lust. Pearl's lists in her first book sparked a fire within to create a diverse list of to-be-read titles and authors, which I could carry to the library on upcoming visits. I wasn't sure that she could write a more interesting set of book lists than she already had. But I am glad she never doubted it! ...

This is a great cookbook!
There is a recipe in this book for just about every occasion. Most recipes are pretty simple with easily found ingredients. I've used several already (delicious!!) and would recommend this book to everyone who enjoys cooking in a dutch oven. If you don't have a dutch oven...I suggest you buy one so you don't miss out on one of the best pots you can have in your kitchen! All of the recipes are ...

3 reviews
Leslie Mackie

Sasquatch Books, 2006

SIMPLE and DELICIOUS
I bought the first copy as a gift. I have not purchased a new cookbook for myself in years, as I have dozens and dozens. I did not think there was anything new under the sun for me in the world of cookbooks - WRONG! I have enjoyed the Macrina bakery since it opened, and Leslie's cookbook faithfully includes all the best of her breads, sweets, and savories. The recipes are soooooooooo ...

Cass Turnbull's Guide to Pruning: What, When, and Where and How to Prune for a More Beautiful Garden

5 reviews
Cass Turnbull

Sasquatch Books, 2005

Great pruning guide, especially if you live in the PNW
MUCH better than the highly rated American Horticultural Society pruning guide, in my opinion. I bought them both at the same time. She doesn't cover the huge variety of species that other books try to, and the book is actually a collection of short treatises she wrote for a periodical publication, so there's a lot of repetition. But the repetition is all information that you really need to ...

Great book
If you are in the medical field you need to read this book. It's great to see someone who is in the medical field for the people and not the money. If you don't pick something up from this book as to how to handle your patients, I'd be real surprised.

Gorgeous alternative baby book
Get this for any artists or musicians you know who are having a baby. The book has a poetic tone and lots of space for writing in comments far more personal and sweet than the typical height/weight/tooth stuff. Beautiful!

Larry Gets Lost in Seattle

John Skewes and Robert Schwartz

Sasquatch Books, 2007

Alternately Charming, Informative, And Evocative
This is my 18-month-old son's favorite book at the moment -- despite the fact that he's never visited Seattle, owned a dog, or met anybody named Pete (yet). But you don't have to be a kid to enjoy this tome; it's also the ideal book for anybody with a passing interest in where the Mariners play, what "The Fremont Troll" looks like, and the process by which aesthetically magnificent design & ...

How Not to Date

Judy McGuire

Sasquatch Books, 2007

Buy, buy, buy!
I love Judy McGuire's stuff. Her columns, her blog, and now, finally, at long last, HER BOOK! For anyone who's woken up and wondered, "What the hell happened last night?" (you know who you are), you need How Not to Date. You need it yesterday. If you don't want to cry over a bad date (not-worth-it), then you might as well laugh.
