Customer Reviews

My favorite cookbook

I recently purchased two copies of this book as gifts. If you want to be seen as some kind of culinary wizard, I suggest you get a copy. The recipes are simple to follow and the results are absolutely delicious. They are also easy to split in half when cooking for 1 or 2 people. The author is from Rhode Island and so I had purchased his original Chicken Expressions book a long time ago. It was nearly worn out from use, so I was thrilled when he came out with this version which includes his seafood recipes, as well as appetizers, soups, side dishes and desserts. An excellent value!

LIVING AND EATING WITH STYLE

Chef Leclair is a Rhode Island treasure! In his latest book (his third), Culinary Expressions, he shares many reminiscences about his long love affair with food, entertaining, and the restaurant business. Stories and memories are folded into a comprehensive selection of 270 recipes that even the most time-stressed person can successfuly master with confidence. Each recipe is preceded by a brief but very useful explanation or anecdote about the dish. If you love food (and who doesn't!)and you love to cook, Culinary Expressions will provide easy instruction on how to prepare unique and delicious entrees under the expert guidance of a master chef. Buy it, use it and enjoy better food now!

Culinary Expressions is a gem

Culinary Expressions is a gem. Its clarity and simplicity gove the home cook confidence, and its wide variety of preparation styles, especially for fish and chicken, inspire creativity. The 20-minute (baking time) recipes fit into today's hectic, tightly scheduled world. This book reminds us of the enjoyment and satisfaction that preparing a meal for family and friends can bring.
