Customer Reviews

Looks like it's unanimous, so far.

Having decided how I would review this cookbook, I then read the other three reviews already here. Amazing that we all came away with the same impression: marvelous stuff here, not easy but delicious. I first tried the Fall Squash Soup with Chorizo and Spicy Cinammon Croutons, and it was a knockout dish. Everyone just marveled at its layers of flavor, so well blended. This is truly a beautiful book, and the regulars at her restaurant for lunch are blessed.

Not quick, but delicious!!!!!

Thanks to this simple cookbook, my reputation in the kitchen has improved by leaps and bounds. The recipes are time consuming (for a simple sandwich) but wait until you taste them! If I want to knock someones socks off I prepare the Shrimp Sandwich with Mango Relish! The name cannot impart how delicious this dish is! This recipe alone justifies the cost of the book. (I have substituted chicken w/ equally good results.) Buy this cookbook. You won't be disappointed!

Excellent flavors, inspiring recipes, simplicity with style

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. It contains recipes which soothe the soul (soups) and satisfies the palate. The recipes are easy to follow and don't require hours in the kitchen.

This is our new favorite cookbook.

This cookbook hardly gets put back on the shelf--we're always looking for something else to make in it. Every sandwich we've made has been so good they taste like we've ordered out. This is a great cookbook.
