All Seasons Cookbook

by Connie Colom

New Englanders have an old saying about their weather: "If you don't like it, wait a minute!" While the weather doesn't always change quite that fast, each of the four seasons puts its own distinctive stamp on New England's climate, lifestyle, and availability of many foods.

Customer Reviews

This cookbook rocks for entertaining! Great seafood, unique veggie sides.

The cookbook's organization by season and its emphasis on New England flavors make this book unique. I typically use this cookbook when entertaining. My dad still talks about the grilled lobster tail (p. 88) I made for Father's Day one year. In addition to seafood recipes, I especially enjoy unique seasonal vegetable dishes - brussel sprouts with walnut butter, green beans and red peppers and maple glazed carrots are all recipes I use regularly. This book is one of my kitchen "A List" cookbooks. I keep it handy and use it frequently.

Still use this terrific book

I purchased this cookbook when it first was released and have been cooking from it ever since. Perhaps the most favorite thing from it is the apple spice cake with the carmel frosting. It is something my family looks forward to every autumn. I have found nothing in this book that is not simply wonderful. I read it and use it for inspiration every month of the year. Thank you for such a delightful, useful and delicious book.

not just for the east coast

This cookbook contains a wide range of recipes, and gives you ideas to compliment the weather that comes with the seasons. Many have become staples in our house. They have the aroma, to enhance your appetite, as well as good taste.

Excellent recipes!

I've found that every recipe I've tried in this cookbook has turned out delicious! One of my favorites is a chocolate mocha cake - it's a birthday party favorite, just as the book suggests! I like the seasonal breakdown as a way to take advantage of seasonal foods. This is my favorite cookbook...and I have lots!

Fool your friends!

I am a self proclaimed bad cook, but every thing I've made out of this cookbook has impressed everyone that had it! Some recipes are a little complex, but all in all, the instructions are well written and easy to follow and the end results are fabulous! I recommend the Texas Chowder (Chili) - best chili I've ever had!
