Great Recipes for Those with Time on Their Hands.......2006-06-05
Life made easier.......2006-03-16
Intriguing, but relies on many non-staple ingredients.......2005-03-01
Best eclectic recipe book.......2004-03-29
Recipes are easy to follow, have clear instructions for special ingredients, mostly can be prepared in less than an hour, and most rely on easy-to-obtain ingredients. Greatly appreciated that they wrote tips like to obtain 1.75 lbs pounds prepared squash, you'd need to by 3 lbs at the store. Several ingredients can easily be replaced with similar items.
Excellent variety of asian-inspired and mediteranian dishes. EVERYTHING has turned out really well in this book. I have not yet been disappointed.
All in One Bowl!.......2003-02-22
Basic in concept, bowl food has been around for hundred's of years, just now moving into North America. Many primitive people used half coconuts or gourds to hold their food. Although we have evolved to the use of flat plates, knives, spoons and forks, we should no longer think of bowls as necessary only with breakfast cereals, stews, and soups. Bowls are no longer the exclusive domain of Asian cultures.
People have shortened time in their lives these days. When making most bowl foods,complete all your chopping to bite-sized pieces before cooking. Separate into piles which cook in similar lengths of time. Cooking time for most recipes is brief. A lite, balanced meal in just one bowl, nestled into the palm of your hand makes for a cozy time at the computer or TV. Forget knives, formal tables with chairs -- maybe use a pair of chopsticks to keep your expertise alive.
It should be noted Bowl Food is an edited compilation of recipes, a collection from many food professionals. Each turn of almost 400 slick pages reveals a full-color picture of the finished bowl while opposite stands its easily understandable recipe. This is an excellent way to eat a lot of fresh, barely cooked veggies and maximize your nutritional intake.
Bowl Food's Contents include soups, salads, pasta dishes, rice, wok-stir fry, curries also one-pots. Some selections:
§ Spicy Squash and Coconut Soup rather crosses the Asian with the sturdy squash.
§ Pea and Arugula Soup is a lite, quickly-made health meal.
§ Shrimp, Potato and Corn Chowder smacks of New England.
§ Ramen Noodle Soup with Roast Pork and Greens, utilizes left-overs in simple, easy Asian dish.
§ Crab and Spinach Soba Noodle Salad is a delicately flavored salad simply made.
§ Pasta with Seared Shrimp includes red chilies and capers.
§ Madras Beef Curry is simple and transforms skirt steak into a rich dish.
§ Chicken and Mushroom Pilaf blends mushrooms, almonds and yogurt.
§ Shrimp and Snow Pea Stir-Fry is light, tasty and quick to make.
§ Spicy Sausage Stew is but one of the "One Pots" dishes in Bowl Food.
§ Chicken and Asparagus Risotto marries distinct flavors into a well-balanced meal.
§ Tomato Bread Soup reminds us of Italy.
§ Caramelized Onion and Parsnip Soup smacks of root cellars of New England.

Comfort Food Fast: Easy and Elegant Food that Soothes the Soul
Anne Gardon Manufacturer: Firefly Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1552095959 |
Book Description
In Provence, where Anne Gardon grew up, comfort food means hearty dishes, thick, chunky soups and stews and old-fashioned desserts. For most of us, it also means those tastes we crave when we need a little creature comfort, the best-loved dishes of our childhood, the familiar flavors and smells that conjure up warm memories and good times. Gardon is a strong believer that comfort also means not being a slave to the stove while friends are relaxing in the dining room.
In Comfort Food Fast, rather than feature recipes for an unpredictable souffle or a treacherous hollandaise sauce, Gardon includes recipes for one-pot meals which can be served informally at the table, where family and friends can relax and enjoy the comfortable ambience that comes from a simple and tasty meal. Main-course dishes such as Cannelloni With Ricotta and Summer Savory Filling, Pasta Timbale, Roast Chicken With Herb and Cheese Stuffing, Chicken Cacciatore, Pork Tenderloin Stuffed With Apples, Lamb Stew (Moroccan-Style) and desserts like Apple Bread Pudding, Viennese Shortbread, Iced Chocolate Mousse and Chocolate and Raspberry Clafoutis are guaranteed to satisfy our deepest cravings.
Gardon's personal recipe for happiness at the table is what she calls C.H.E.F.s "Cuisine: Cheap, Healthy, Easy and Fun." Her goal here is to teach us how to get the most out of the best ingredients plus how to put some away for a rainy (or snowy) day. She counsels preparing favorite comfort foods in volume and provides advice on portioning and freezing for those times when creating even a simple dinner can pose a challenge. And what could be more comforting at the end of a long, hard day than to know that something delicious and soul-soothing is already prepared, just waiting to be eaten?
Gardon's latest cookbook is illustrated throughout with the author's own sumptuous full-color photographs.

Most savory burgers I've laid eyes on, and sank teeth into........1998-07-26
For me, pictures are very important in a cook book, and this one is loaded with hi resolution color photos. It gives you a clear visual understanding of how the burger should look in addition to just the recipe.
I would reccomend this book to any burger connoisseur as a must for the beef eater's recipe library.
