Frances Price

Rodale Books, 1997

Best cookbook I own!
I bought this cookbook several years ago based on someone's recommendation, and consider it one of my best purchases ever. The recipes are simple to prepare, delicious and healthy. I have not been disappointed in a single recipe. I was a little turned off at first because there were no photos of the prepared foods, but after months and months of use, I can honestly say that I use this cookbook ...

Bring the Pressure Cooker Back for Busy Moms!
This cookbook has some great 1 pot meals for busy moms. And they are not boring! There are some great ethnic recipes including Moroccan Stew and Chicken Curry. I never used a pressure cooker before, but in the last 2 months I have used it at least once a week. It forces me to try new recipes and that makes dinner much more interesting.

Met Tim...
I was lucky enought to attend a party hosted by Tim Gunn and Nathaniel Hawkins at the Tribeca Grand on March 5th. My sister won this by responding to a TRESemme on-line ad. Oh my goodness, what a night and what true hosts Tim and Nathaniel were. Not only were we treated liked guests, more important we felt "like royalty". Hats off to these people who hosted a party that made "all" feel ...

Stuff White People Like: A Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions
Christian Lander

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008

They love nothing better than sipping free-trade gourmet coffee, leafing through the Sunday New York Times , and listening to David Sedaris on NPR (ideally all at the same time). Apple products, indie music, food co-ops, and vintage T-shirts make them weak in the knees. They believe they’re unique, yet somehow they’re all exactly the same, talking about how they “get” Sarah Silverman’s “subversive” ...

Taste of Home Winning Recipes: 645 Recipes from National Cooking Contests

2 reviews

Readers Digest, 2008

Diverse and probably the best book that Taste of Home has come out with so far
The title really says it all. Wonderfully put together, and filled with good home style cooking meals. This is no means a cookbook of sophisticated cuisines, but for everyday living which is so appealing to the average household. Great ideas for quick throw togethers when the day is too hectic, and many many pictures for those who insist they will only buy cookbooks with pictures. Not all recipes ...

Author's Talents Growing With Each New Book and Now...
....we have this absolutely excellent, exciting, sensual, loving and wonderful new book. Having followed this author, reading all her previous works, I had high expectations for this novel and she admirably fufilled every one. First, the story expertly captures the nastiness of class distinctions and particularly how, an American, because of his success in "business" could NEVER overcome ...

Russell L. Blaylock

Health Press (NM), 1996

One for your library
This was a great book, a bit hard for a non scientific person, but still great. It is well written by a very knowledgeable person that seems to care. It should be Oprah's book of the month. It you eat, have kids or are concerned about health, then this is the book for you. I do have to warn you, some parts are pretty scary. It was amazing to find out all of the things the government doesn't ...

Food: The History of Taste (California Studies in Food and Culture)

4 reviews

University of California Press, 2007

Real Gastronomy in a Fine Style
I must say I was truly fortunate to receive a pre-publication copy of this exquisite volume. Editor Paul Freedman displays all the literary deftness of an M.F.K. Fisher or Calvin Trillin, without ignoring the analytic depth of gastronomic writing since Brillat-Savarin. An academic historian, Freedman treats the history of cuisine with a refreshing clarity and seriousness in his introduction. ...

Jose Andres, Richard Wolffe

Clarkson Potter, 2005

A wonderful book
I've always liked tapas, but I never knew much about their history and preparation until I came across this book. I have to admit that I've never read a book about food cover-to-cover, but this one was written so beautifully that I was just captivated.

Just a Taste (Berkley Sensation)

17 reviews
Deirdre Martin

Berkley, 2008

Smell that tomato sauce!
Author Dierdre Martin does such a good job of creating a sense of place in JUST A TASTE that the reader almost can smell the tomato sauce served by the book's hero in his family's restaurant--or as Anthony, that hero, would call it, the "gravy." For a woman who, according to the blurb at the back of the novel, lives in Ithaca, New York, Ms. Martin has a marvelous sensibility of the energy of ...

Pickled: Vegetables, Fruits, Roots, More--Preserving a World of Tastes and Traditions

Lucy Norris, Elizabeth Watt

Harry N. Abrams, 2003

Eye-Opening and Palate-Tickling
I think this book is fabulous. So cool that someone finally did a really nice book on this subject. The pictures are gorgeous and you can read it like a novel with all the little stories of different people and their backgrounds and recipes -- or you can get right into the pickling process and end up with stuff that you sort of never really thought you could make. I tried the mustard pickles and ...
