The Quilter's Kitchen: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel with Recipes (Elm Creek Quilts Novel)
Jennifer Chiaverini
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Enjoyed it, with low expectations
I liked it, but I read these reviews in advance so I knew what to expect. Anna has become one of my favorite characters, so it was fun to get a little more insight into her background and passions (plus some tantalizing speculation about Jeremy???) It was a nice ...

Clarkson Potter, 2008
An unexpected twist
I own several other of Giada's books, and by far I believe this will be my favorite. With her other books I found myself making recipes only once a month or so because the majority seemed to heavy to eat in Florida weather. This new book contains a variety of fresh ...

Kitchen Confidential Updated Ed: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (P.S.)
Anthony Bourdain
Harper Perennial, 2007
No Reservations... this book is GREAT!
In reading this book, I could actually hear Anthony Bourdain's voice in my head. Since this was written prior to "A Cook's Tour" and "No Reservations" I felt as though I was getting the uncensored, ungroomed Tony Bourdain.
My ex-husband told me that I shouldn't read ...

The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition
Cook's Illustrated Magazine
America?s Test Kitchen, 2004
Perfect Creations Everytime......Almost Foolproof!!
First I will start by saying that I have never followed Cooks Illustrated or understood the belabored recipe-testing involved for this book. I have passed it up many times because the recipes looked too basic, and not gourmet or innovative. Boy, was I wrong! I was ...

In the Night Kitchen (Caldecott Collection)

My feelings have changed about this book over time
As a mother and a teacher, I am always looking for quality books to read to my fourth graders as well as my 3 year old daughter. Although I would never be able to read In the Night Kitchen to my class (parent complaints and such), it didn't take long for my little ...

The Best 30-Minute Recipe
Cook's Illustrated Magazine
America's Test Kitchen, 2006
Excellent for a non-serious chef
This book has a remarkable number of really good recipes and a few duds. The collection is varied and covers traditional American to Thai. The biggest downside is that they don't suggest side dishes for their main courses. However, the real value is that they explain ...
