Splenda Cookbook great for Diabetics.......2007-01-16

This book has helped my wife in our struggle to prepare foods that I can have as a diabetic. I would recommend it to any family in the same situation. I now eat foods I enjoy and live a much happier life. Thanks a million.

I love the clarity and the photos that come with each recipe. The Candied Popcorn is wonderful!

LOVE IT !.......2006-10-02

This is a great cook book. I hate to cook. I'm good at it, but I hate it. I want recipes that taste good, are healthy, and are easy to put together. I almost never buy cookbooks. Maybe one every 4 or 5 years. I saw this & what first struck me was how bright the pictures were. The recipes used alot of things I already keep on hand, such as ground turkey, salmon, turkey bacon, broccoli, splenda (of course), apple cider vinegar & so on. The directions are easy to follow & don't take alot of time. I especially like that with each recipe they have the nutrition info. This book lays out how many calories are in each serving, fat, protein, etc... There are not alot of recipes in this book, but what they have put in this book is very good. Its enough to get something different on your daily menu. There are a few recipes for sweet breakfast type things, although you could use these just as easily for dessert. You get recipes for pumpkin loaf, cinnamon coffee cake, blueberry corn muffins, etc... There are side dish recipes such as cucumber & onion salad, broccoli salad (I actually made the broccoli salad today. Its very good & my hubby loved it.) , orange almond salad, etc... There is a great recipe in here to make your BLTs (using turkey bacon) just a little differently using a recipe with light ranch dressing & some herbs & spices. There are lunch to dinner time recipes such as vegetarian chili, baked salmon with orange ginger sauce, chili seasoned meatloaf, etc... There are healthy desserts such as frozen raspberry ice pops, Pear Crisp, light lime cheesecake, etc... And there are also a few drinks such as Banana Raspberry Smoothie, elegant egg nog, and a hot chocolate recipe. This is definitely worth the $8. I couldn't be happier with it. Finally, a cookbook I can enjoy ! I highly recommend it.

Beautiful Pictures!.......2006-08-06

Though there aren't a lot of recipes in this cookbook, the ones that are offered are wonderful. I'm a visual person and the picutres make it so helpful. I can't wait to try everyone...and I hope it looks the same way.

Splenda No calorie sweetener.......2006-07-05

A bookful of delightful recipes! My girl friend was looking for just this sort of text. She cooks for herself and her diabetic brother and said she had searched high and low for one of these. Looks to me as though this will fill the bill May copy some of the recipes for myself. What is so appealing about the book is it offers genuinely complete recipes and does not say, "Dump in this can and that." Thanks.

Book Description

The Complete Book of Sauces
"...for those who like to jazz up grilled chicken, fish or meat with a sauce or salsa, take a look at The Complete Book of Sauces." —Los Angeles Daily News

It's Easy to Make a Different Dish Every Night With over 300 recipes, The Complete Book of Sauces can help you turn your ordinary dinner into a delicious meal. Author Sallie Y. Williams includes white sauces, wine sauces, marinades and barbecue sauces, salad dressings, sweet sauces for desserts, and fruit sauces. A variety of new, mouth-watering sauces to enhance your favorite dishes-like Jalapeño Vinaigrette, Dijon Yogurt Dressing, Fresh Vegetable Salsa, Garlic and Honey Marinade, and Gingered Pear Sauce-are a snap to create. Classic recipes-such as Hollandaise and Béchamel-are represented here as well, some with quick blender versions, and all of them reworked for ease of preparation. Other features include step-by-step instructions, storage advice, special sauce tips, and a cross-indexing section that pairs sauces and dishes to make meal planning a breeze.

A sauce for every occasion.......2007-08-11

This book really is "The Complete Book of Sauces". It would be hard to imagine what sauce recipe ISN'T in it. Not only does it contain virtually any kind of sauce recipe you could want, but it offers helpful ideas on what to serve with what. Also, the recipes are "doable" rather than some I've seen in other books that are so complex no one but a professional chef would even attempt them. In addition, the price was right, and it arrived very promptly in pristine condtion.

Excellent.......2007-01-10

Just the book I was looking for! Excellent coverage of sauces for beginners to "old hats"! Thanks!

Numerous variations to try in a lifetime!.......2000-11-06

There are definitely more sauces in this book than you can possibly try. They are divided and arranged by type and purpose, which makes it easy to pick out the sauce that you need. Some of the ingredients are somewhat hard to find, but most recipes can be prepared with minimal fuss. My favorite part of this book is the marinades chapter.. you can combine a marinade with a similar sauce and end up with something spectacular. Another useful chapter is the fruit sauces chapter, which proved to be very valuable on that special occasion when you wanted to enhance the flavor of your desserts. No photos in this book though.

The Complete Book of Sauces.......1999-12-04

This book is excellent, I have had success with every recipe I've tried. I refer to this book almost on a daily basis to make my dishes more interesting. If you buy only one sauce book this is the one to buy.

One simple books adds fun and life to almost any dish........1998-10-10

It's now Oct 1998. I bought the book in 1990 when it first came out. I'm a business man, not a gourmet, but with this Sallie Williams book, polite lovely ladies have almost tackled me to get 'my recipes'. I have fun cooking because of this book, more than with any other cookbook. I pick a meat or vegetable, and pick a sauce. It always works, and leaves me feeling like I'm creating by selecting the combination of some dish with a sauce, plus dreaming up ways to display the food. So far it never seems to get boring, and after nine years there are still a lot of sauces I've not yet tried. I think the book will be with me for the duration. Highly recommended. The only downside is that 'favorite' sauces are easy to find in the book, and thus you have to avoid the temptation to stop exploring sauces not yet experienced.

Feast of herbal facts........2007-01-20

I bought this book before Christmas, for me, and wasn't at all disappointed in it. I have always loved the idea of a book one can turn to as the days pass. This one has fascinating facts about herbs and lovely illustrations to boot. I enjoy looking through it as I relax and find the information engrossing.

Book of Days by China Bales.......2007-01-10

Written in an easy to read daily format. You can skip around at will. Fascinating detail of herbs with their lore and uses. She writes anecdotes, recipes and a cornicopia of information to keep you grabbing it at every free moment. And she gives "Read more about it" references. Truly as enjoyable as it is educational.

China Bayle's Book Days.......2007-01-09

This is the first book I've read by Susan Wittig Albert.I chose it because I get her newsletters but have now read one mystery Bleeding Hearts.I chose it for my interest in gardening,especially with herbs and I like herb lore.I like the sympathetic characters,the town and the pace and style.It is an informative book as well as relaxing and comforting for quiet times,indoors,on holiday,in winter or in the garden.

Wasn't what I was hoping for..........2007-09-05

I was looking for a book that would show some really good red salsa recipes. This one has I think 2 total. The rest are not what I would call 'salsa'. But maybe that's because I'm just a hick from Missouri. If you call just about anything mixed up in a bowl 'salsa' then you might like this book, personally I didn't think it was worth the shipping cost.

A great find.......2006-10-01

If you like homemade salsa, this book may be just what you're looking for. THE GREAT SALSA BOOK by Mark Miller is all about salsa. The book includes over one hundred pages of salsa recipes. Everything from tomato salsas to chile salsas to tropical mango salsa and other fruit salsas is coverd. Corn and bean salsas, nut, seed and herb salsas, and plenty of other salsas are covered too. Miller includes color photos of all his prepared dishes as well, making this is truly a great salsa book.

Worth a Try.......2005-08-14

I have only tried 3-4 recipes to date, as I wait for my pepper crop to come in. Each recipe so far was very good, particularly the avacadoe and serrano pepper dip. I will be tweaking to my own taste, but this is a great headstart.

Good Stuff.......2005-07-28

I bought this book as a gift and they love it. It has lots of fruit, veg, and smoked salsas. They use it a lot.

MIxing up salsa.......2004-07-05

Salsa anyone? THE GREAT SALSA BOOK by Mark Miller is all about salsa. If he wanted to be cute, he could have titled his book, "Everything you wanted to know..." and not have been far off the mark. Miller's book includes over one hundred pages of salsa recipes: Tomato and Tomatillo salsas; Chile salsas; Topical salsas (Tropical mango salsa and Mango mash); Fruit salsas (Apple Pasado Salsa, Moroccan Date Salsaa0; Corn and Bean salsas; Nut, seed and herb salsas; and plenty of other exotic salsas. So you see, salsa isn't just that stuff you get at the Taco bar.

As I am trying to eat more vegetables, I find the `Grilled Vegetable Salsa' with chiles, eggplants, shiake mushrooms, zucchini squash, and asparagus, most appealing. Or, if you want something sweet as well as colorful, try is the sweet potato and pecan salsa with maple syrup and cranberries. Miller includes color photos of all his prepared dishes. This is truly a great salsa book.

In the 1970s, Bernard Clayton's The Complete Book of Breads became the bible for bread bakers everywhere. In the years since its publication, however, new equipment such as dough-mixing attachments and food processors, and new products such as fast-acting yeast and specialty bread flour, have revolutionized the kitchen. A new era requires a new book, and Bernard Clayton has obliged with his New Complete Book of Breads. Here you'll find 200 of Clayton's original recipes from his earlier book, all revised with modern equipment and products in mind. In addition, Clayton includes 100 new recipes gathered during the course of his research and travels as well as his interactions with friends and readers. Whether you're hungry for breads, rolls, muffins, popovers, seasonal favorites, or exotic delights destined to become favorites, you'll find them all in the New Complete Book of Breads.

Book Description

From the bestselling author of The New Complete Book of Breads comes the thirtieth anniversary edition of this classic baking book, now in trade paperback.

Croissants, brioches, flat breads, and crackers are covered in depth as well. Home bakers will find an extraordinary range of variety, nearly enough to supply a new bread a day for a year. There are wheat breads -- Honey-Lemon, Walnut, Buttermilk; sourdough breads; corn breads; breads flavored with herbs or spices or enriched with cheese or fruits and nuts; and little breads -- Kaiser Rolls, Grandmother's Southern Biscuits, English Muffins, and Popovers, to name a few. For the baker who observes the holidays with a fresh loaf there are Challah and Italian Panettone.

Clayton also covers topics like starters and storing and freezing breads, and devotes an entire chapter to "What Went Wrong -- and How to Make It Right." Perfect for all levels of bakers, this book walks the novice through the steps and encourages the advanced baker to try new variations on recipes.

Devoted fans of Bernard Clayton will be thrilled with this easy-to-use paperback edition and delighted to see old favorites and try new ones. This is the definitive edition of the classic baking book that every good cook should own.

Great Guide for Most of Us.......2007-10-01

For someone without a lot of baking experience who wants to know how to make a wide variety of breads and baked goods using readily available ingredients and supplies, this may be the best choice out there. There are recipes for virtually every type of non-pastry bread or baked flour product, without too many unnecessary details or confusing diversions from the task at hand. If you are an avid amateur baking purist, you might find the book's almost exclusive reliance on commonplace industrial leavening agents such as dry yeast and baking powder, and otherwise plain presentation of the art of baking, to be a trifle unsophisticated. However, the book also includes instructions for more elaborate procedures, such as making and using various leavening starters, for those so inclined. This book de-mystifies bread making and offers many helpful tips and shortcuts that are most welcome to those that just want to make a variety of breads in a typical home kitchen, without making a lifelong quest out of it. Illustrations are sparse, but are judiciously included.

The recipes I've tried were easy to follow and resulted in a delicious end product, every time. This is a cookbook, that can be taken into the kitchen and used one recipe at a time. You don't need to read large sections of the book or flip through multiple pages to follow most recipes. Consequently, there is a lot of repetition in the instructions and the book is thicker than it needs to be, strictly speaking. If you bake all the time the repetition will be unnecessary. But for most of us, the self-sufficent presentation will probably prove quite handy.

Review is based on the 2006 edition.

unusual recipes.......2007-09-27

I first tried the Blue Ribbon French Bread recipe while trying to find a Po-Boy bread formula. This recipe was just unique enough to be perfect! The author definitely isn't presenting the same old tired combinations every other cookbook author has. Clayton is unique. You might not appreciate it if you are a new baker but you will quickly enough. Easy to follow with a little thought and he allows for all the mixing scenarios.

The Best Comprehensive Bread Recipe Book Ever!.......2007-06-01

These recipes are very easy to make and each one has been so delicious. I have been making bread for over 55 years, and these recipes are so varied and elegant on the palette. So different from any that I have made in the past. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves home made breads.

a real bread 'bible'.......2007-05-12

Well, you cannot beat this book for shear volume. Almost every single page on this very thick book has at least one recipe on it. Bernard Clayton has been baking bread for longer than a lot of us have been alive. I would bet that you will be able to find a version of whatever type of bread you are looking for in the book. I didn't give it five stars for personal reasons. I am an artisan bread baker and have gotten into the principles of using less yeast and going for the slow ferment. That being the case, the book feels 'dated' to me in areas where Bernard calls for what seems like so much yeast to me now, and sugar. That said, I do recommend this book and consider it a welcome addition to my collection, it is a wealth of recipes to have on ones' shelf in one volume. For beginners it is great because much of the recipes are very straight forward, no fussing around. And for the more experienced, or those that are into the slow-rise, etc,
one can just alter the technique.

an instant bread maker.......2007-04-09

I bought this book a year ago and I love it so much I had to take the time to tell someone about it. If you have never made bread before or thought it was too much work...all you need is this book and a stand up mixer to do the work for you. Most basic white breads can be ready for rising in 20 minutes without much work. The organization may look confusing at first glance, but it is not after making a few of the simple white breads which my family love and become disappointed when they see the store bought bread in the cupboard. The "rich white bread" recipe is a staple in our home and lasts for a full week when stored in the fridge -that is if it isn't eaten first. The festive bread recipes are also fun and bring something special to the holidays. The Finnish bread is excellent. For social get-togethers, you can bring the bread and still have plenty of time to get ready while it rises.

Inspired Scared Novice--But Use Only 1/2 Essential Oils!!!.......2004-12-23

I bought this book several years ago--and just got around to making soap for Christmas presents this year. This book was inspiring since it was short, simple, straight-forward . . . recipe was same--just different blends of essential oils.

DON'T USE 4 OUNCES OF ESSENTIAL OILS per batch--WAY TOO MUCH: 1) pool of excess essential oils sits on top of soap, 2) soap never hardens up quite right (according to Cavitch's book), 3) Essential oils are EXPENSIVE, 4) Scent is TOO STRONG, 5) Some essential oils (like cinnamon) used in called-for amounts actually too concentrated for skin (read other reviews!)

This book is a great starter for novices if you do the following: 1) cut the recipes by 1/4 to learn on smaller batches since the ingredients can be costly--in case your batch does not turn out during your learning stage; 2) invest in a good digital scale that allows you to "zero out" after adding each successive ingredient to the same container (accurate to 1/4 ounce and much faster--many initial mistakes attributed to measuring errors); 3) buy coconut oil at Walmart (under $3 for 31.5 oz); 4) obtain reasonably priced essential oils via internet at A Garden Eastward (http://addy.com/brinkley/); 5) Buy one of Susan Cavitch's soapmaking books next to learn from your mistakes and/or take your soapmaking to the next level--by then, you'll be motivated to absorb more complex information that seemed overwhelming/initimidating at first--which will make so much more sense once you've made a couple of batches.

Nice photos, but not great soap.......2004-12-20

The photos are wonderful. The recipes are only varied according to the eo's that are used. The amounts of eo's would not apply for pure eo's. Soapmakers beware! Start with a small amount of eo, find out how it effects your skin and those using your soap, you can always adjust.
non tallow soap is too soft to make for everyday use. I use my soap for everything, including the laundry. I would not be able to do this with a vegetable soap. Tallow also cuts the cost, and last a lot longer.

Just one recipe. One. That's it........2004-07-02

This is a really beautiful book -- the photography is gorgeous and I like Sandy Maine's style of writing. She is very readable.

But...

There is one recipe in this book, dressed up with different fragrance/essential oils and "fillers". I think this shows a total and complete lack of imagination, considering the WORLD full of God's beautiful, healing oils He put here for us to enjoy. But all it is is olive oil, coconut oil, Crisco...olive oil, coconut oil, Crisco...olive oil, coconu-- well, you get the picture.

I also think that adding 3 ounces of lavender to that baby soap is going to just about knock the baby across the room. That is an awful lot of scent for a baby soap.

I'm not sorry I bought the book. The pictures alone gave me some great ideas for packaging and displays. But buy another book if you want some REAL recipes. Save the money you would have spent on buying the enormous quantities of essential oils for these soaps and spend it on a gorgeous bottle of avocado oil. Let your imagination soar. Soapmaking is, in my opinion, an art form. It doesn't have to be as plodding and pedestrian as this book makes it seem.

Soap book - simple herbal recipes.......2004-06-27

Este es uno de mis libros preferidos, y tengo muchos, tiene una fotos lindas, es claro, simple y preciso, sus recetas son faciles de hacer y economicas, me encanta.

The Whole Package.......2003-05-13

Sandy Maine presents the whole package in her luscious soapmaking books, thus I credit her as an important inspiration for my career in bodycare. Maine goes deeper than merely presenting recipes, her books contain gorgeous photographs that are truelly inspirational as well as touching personal narratives.

The fact that the recipes are variations on the same base oils makes them economical because you don't need to invest in numerous types of fixed oils to achieve success. You can also feel confident about adding your own unique colorants and other ingredients, thus creating your own recipes.

All of her books are eco-friendly and encourage respect and engagement with nature.

Sandy Maine is also highly involved in the field of soapmaking. She advises and inspires many soapmakers in various stages of their development. As a soapmaker who has gone from novice to professional I highly recommend Maine's soapmaking books.

The Great Chile Book.......2006-11-10

I was delighted when I discovered this jewel on Amazon. Now this book is is my kitchen, as a bible. I must admit that I am some sort of capsaicin addict and my oppinion is not objective.

Outstanding PHOTO/REFERENCE/GUIDE Book.......2005-06-26

I'll tell you what this great little book IS.....not what it isn't.

1.....This GUIDE BOOK rates each chili with a 1-10 temperature scale. Thank you, Mark Miller!!! Why didn't someone do this a long time ago? (In a neat, concise format, that is.) Did you know that bell peppers have a rating of zero? Poblanos rate a 3.....jalapenos a 5.5.....and those smokin' habaneros top the charts with a big fat 10!

2.....This PICTURE BOOK beautifully portrays every chili, both fresh and dried, with a bright, colorful, professional photo. I've taken this book grocery shopping to help identify the type of chile I'm buying because grocers don't always give us a name.

3.....This REFERENCE BOOK is an essential guide to identifying chilis...something every cook needs. At a glance the reader sees why Peruvian peppers aren't the best choice for filling with chorizo and rice. We must know what a habanero looks like (and why it doesn't belong in the tossed salad, or in the soup, or the casserole...or almost anything else). This book identifies all the choices that won't scald your tongue...and also those that might.

4.....This INFORMATIVE BOOK offers history, guidance, personal experience and opinion. Lay this on your coffee table to educate your friends and to inspire some "hot conversation." Everyone has a good pepper story to tell........"You think jalapenos are hot? Let me tell you about the time when..."

5.....As an ADDED BONUS...some great basic/authentic recipes are included. Mango-habanero sauce (So that's where those trouble-makers go!)..... guajillo salsa..... chipotles in adobe sauce..... mole amarillo..... spicy grilled shrimp and melon salad..... pipian rojo..... a total of seventeen wonderful recipes.

Mark Miller urges the cook to focus on the flavor and not the heat...ha ha ha. Well, he's probably not kidding, since he's worked with chiles for over 30 years. Maybe I can focus on the flavor of everything below a 7 on the heat scale, and there are many of those to choose from. Because of this book, I can now discuss the merits of poblanos versus those of anaheims, and I can identify any "capsicum" in the world if that need arises. I can definitely choose with confidence from the produce section. All in all, "The Great Chile Book" offers ACCESSIBLE and VALUABLE information that every cook needs to know.

Salsa anyone? THE GREAT SALSA BOOK by Mark Miller is all about salsa. If he wanted to be cute, he could have titled his book, "Everything you wanted to know..." and not have been far off the mark. Miller's book includes over one hundred pages of salsa recipes: Tomato and Tomatillo salsas; Chile salsas; Topical salsas (Tropical mango salsa and Mango mash); Fruit salsas (Apple Pasado Salsa, Moroccan Date Salsa; Corn and Bean salsas; Nut, seed and herb salsas; and plenty of other exotic salsas. So you see, salsa isn't just that stuff you get at the Taco bar.

Plenty of recipes............2004-07-04

The GREAT CHILE BOOK by Mark Miller is not nearly as great as his SALSA BOOK. Miller includes many colorful photos of chiles, but this book is no encyclopedia. Furthermore, although I found the book interesting, I also found it difficult to use. He divides the text into `fresh chiles' and `dried chiles' followed by a few pages of recipes, but rather than see the same chile shown over and over on several different pages in it's green, red, fresh and dried stages, I would have preferred to have seen various peppers in the same family clustered together so that I could learn to distinguish among them. In his brief overview he explains the origins of the chile pepper -- that it is not in the family that produces the black peppercorn (piper nigrum) but rather all chiles are descended from a South American plant that was dispersed by birds and then cultivated and spread further by humans.

Miller's recipe section, which he describes as a good cross-section of various chile dishes, includes one for Jalepeno ketchup. Now that should wake up any hot dog!! Most interesting, however, is the recipe for Mole Roja, from the Oaxaca and Puebla area of Mexico known as the `Land of the Seven Moles.' Miller explains that some moles contain no chocolate (this one does, however, as well as dried plums or cherries to enhance the flavor of the ancho and mulatto chile peppers). Mole Roja is best served with fowl such as turkey. So, try this instead of cranberry sauce next Thanksgiving!

Essential kitchen equipment.......2001-03-01

The definitive guide to identifying chile peppers, this book is conveniently divided into sections on dried and fresh peppers. Beware - this is NOT a recipe book (although a few more recipes would be nice), nor does it contain more than brief instructions on preparing and using chile peppers. However, with bright colour photographs, taste descriptions, and a clear and accurate guide to hotness from bell pepper (0) to habanero (10), this book is essential kitchen equipment for those who like their cooking fiery.

Spices made Easy.......2000-05-03

This is an incredible book. It includes encyclopaedic information on all the most common spices and most of the rare ones. Not only does it include a description of their flavour and aroma but of their cooking and medicinal uses as well.

The book starts with the history of spice trade (in a brief review of about 6 pages) and ends with a basic recipe book so that you can put your spice knowledge to work.

I greatly recomend the cinnamon cookies recipe at the end of the book.

As an extra it also contains recipes for mixing spices in order to produce curries, quatre epicees, sambal trassi, nam prik and many other as well.

This is a must for any spice loving kitchen.

Extremely Valuable Cooking Resource.......1997-09-06

Living in an Asian country, this book has been a tremendous help in identifying the huge variety of spices available in local markets. I find the presentation of the different ways the spices are prepared (powdered, whole, dried, fresh etc...) to be most helpful. I really recommend this book!!

Beautiful presentation of facts about spices and seeds........1997-02-03

Book Description

Extremely easy-to-follow due to its natural progression tutorial approach on how to advance from the solution of typical electrical and electronic circuit examples by hand, followed by a SPICE verification through the discussion of simulation results. The first part contains relevant data about SPICE in order to analyze both linear passive and electronic circuits. The latter half provides more detail on such topics as distortion models and analysis, basic algorithms in SPICE, analysis option parameters and how to direct SPICE to find a solution when it fails.

Good description of the mathematical models used by SPICE.......1999-04-16

This book incloses most of the mathematical equations of the models used by SPICE and helps good by solving problems with the convergence, written by one of the designer of SPICE A. Vladimirescu

Spice made easy with clear thoughtout format........1998-09-27

This book has just about everthing you want to know about spice from it's history in early 60's, to solving convergance in array of circuits,which are difficult to simulate.I found the book to be useful for it's tables to construct better and more models than I had ever imagined possible.The author does use alot of mathematical expressions to explain the spice syntax, but the format is great, and well thought out.This book is the "toolbox" for spice. Others fall short, but this book I'm gald to have on my shelf.
