Frida's Fiestas: Recipes and Reminiscences of Life with Frida Kahlo

24 reviews
Marie Pierre Colle, Guadalupe Rivera

Clarkson Potter, 1994

Frida's Fiestas
This is a fascinating book with gorgeous photographs of fiestas which would have been prepared by Frida for parties at home in Mexico. We all know that Frida was an extraordinary artist, but it's quite an eye-opener to find out that she was also an outstanding cook!

Last Dinner On the Titanic: Menus and Recipes from the Great Liner

Rick Archbold, Dana McCauley

Hyperion, 1997

A social history snapshot that just happens to be a cookbook
After almost 100 years, the Titanic disaster continues to fascinate historians and the general public. The snapshot of Edwardian culture is nowhere more apparent than the famous "last meal" that Sunday. Thanks to menus kept by survivors as mementos, and some indepth research, Mr. Archbold has written up the dishes served in all three classes as recipes that, theoretically at least, anyone can ...

The Menu: New Haven
Great reference. I'm not from town and found it invaluable during my time in New Haven. Hoping this duo will put some more together soon.

Stop and Smell the Rosemary

Kosher Billionaire's Secret Recipe

14 reviews
Stacy Cohen

Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2007

Spectacular lifestyle, FABULOUS recipes
Regardless of what comments say, the bottom line is that Stacy Cohen has elevated the stodgy, starchy, fattening, generally revolting excuse for edible that kosher food can often be, and has instead created something that every person---Jew and non-Jew alike--can serve to loved ones, guests, and at every sort of event imaginable. Sure, some of this book is pure inspiration/aspiration, but that's ...

The Essential EatingWell Cookbook: Good Carbs, Good Fats, Great Flavors (Eating Well)

19 reviews
Patricia Jamieson

Countryman Press, 2004

One of the Best
My husband and I spent almost an entire summer eating out of this cookbook. The recipes are fantastic, especially if you aren't used to cooking with things like whole-wheat flour or dark, leafy greens. After buying this book, making homemade pizza with whole-wheat crust became a weekly event. What's really cool is that it inspired us to be more creative with healthy ingredients as well. We've ...

Off the Menu Cookbook: A Four-Star Chef Cooks for Family, Friends and Staff

18 reviews
David Waltuck, Melicia Phillips

Workman Pub Co, 1999

one of my desert-island cookbooks
When we moved last year, it was one of 5 cookbooks I packed in my suitcase to use in our temporary apartment. It's chock full of great recipes for American classics, but done in a way that appeals to people who've gone beyond Campbell's soup casseroles. A number of easy ethnic recipes rounds out the mix.

American Wholefoods Cuisine

Ceres Press, 2006

American Wholefoods Cuisine
Trying to find a good all round vegetarian cookbook is quite a difficult task. Many of the vegetarian cookbooks I've come across are either gourmet and not really suitable for everyday meals or full of bland tofu recipes that resemble cardboard in taste and texture. Finding recipes that use only whole foods is even more difficult. I've only come across one or two good ones that had maybe a half ...

Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cooking

American Diabetes Association, 2004

I LOVE THIS COOKBOOK
I absolutely love this cookbook. I have many healthy cookbooks on my shelf and this is the best. I have cooked many of the recipes and have loved all but one of them. I have five children and they devour everything that I cook from this book - including my daughter that is such a picky eater I can't believe she can survive on what she eats. I use the cookbook exactly how they say to and it ...

Peter Berley

William Morrow Cookbooks, 2004

If you love good food, you have to buy this book. No question about it.
This is an amazing cookbook. Filled with delicious, fool-proof recipes and wholesome ingredients, "Fresh Food Fast" has become a regular part of our work-week routine. Though we try to do most of our cooking over the weekend (reheating meals during the week), there are invariably nights when we prefer to cook something fresh after a long day at work. This book gives us a wide array of options ...

Absolutely amazing
I LOVE this book! It's just so nice to be able to grab a cookbook when you're in a huge hurry for dinner to be ready fast, that provides you wonderful menus and easy directions for meals in no time flat. The food is wonderful and there are even recipes for making them a little less fattening. If you can't find it here on amazon, check ebay and oxmoorhouse.com. You can almost always find one ...

Villard, 2002

To Meet, To Talk, and To Eat ...Life Is Good
The idea of a cooking club with a group of friends is terrific. Too many times we grow apart from those close to us as marriage, kids, and careers occur. I first saw this book about six months ago. I have a collection of cookbooks but am particular of what I add to it. Before I bought it for myself, I decided to give it as a gift. One of my closest friends from high school recently became a ...

French Cooking in Ten Minutes: Adapting to the Rhythm of Modern Life (1930) (1930)

12 reviews
Edouard de Pomiane

North Point Press, 1994

The most delightful cookbook in my collection!
Extremely useful as well. I read it cover to cover the day it arrived (just last week) -- and I can't say that about ANY other cookbook! It is written (and translated) in a graceful and witty style, and is as enjoyable for the historical and cultural perspective it offers as it is for its culinary instruction and gastronomic joie de vivre. I have prepared two of Docteur de Pomiane's suggested ...

Leanne Ely

Ballantine Books, 2005

Great way to plan for get-togethers!
I had already purchased Leanne's Saving Dinner book and loved it. I got this to make having people over for holidays, get-togethers, etc easier. It has. I dont exactly like all the recipes in it but it gives you great infomation, tips and timelines for making meals and memories. I liked the valentines day chocolate fest and the ideas for a grown-up b-day party. And Thanksgiving Day is not to be ...

The Breakfast Book

12 reviews
Marion Cunningham

Gramercy, 1997

An Inexpensive Classic, Full of Great Suggestions
This durable classic was written by one of the better known names among American cookbook authors, who apprenticed with James Beard and supervised the rewrite of the Fannie Farmer cookbook. The book endures by providing a super coverage of a neglected culinary subject. While there are dozens of books with chapters on breakfast dishes, there are only a small handful of books devoted exclusively to ...

In the Kennedy Style: Magical Evenings in the Kennedy White House

10 reviews
Letitia Baldrige

Doubleday, 1998

A Welcome Antidote To Those OTHER Kennedy Books...
This is a marvellous, beautifully presented look at the entertaining done by President and Mrs. Kennedy during their too-brief thousand days in the White House. Letitia Baldrige was Mrs. Kennedy's Social Secretary, and she has collaborated with Kennedy White House Chef Rene Verdon on reminiscences and recipes that really do evoke that very special time and place. Baldrige's anecdotes give ...
