Customer Reviews

Cooking at its finest

This is cooking like it should be. This is for the cook who loves the taste given to food by wonderful spices and slow cooking. But NOT a slow cooker. This is food that you take all day to cook and then love the result.

A surprising find

I found two copies of this book at a local bookstore and kept one for myself and gave the other way for a gift. The book is full of soups, stews, and other comfort-type food. Also, there is some fancier stuff that has turned out pretty good when I tried. Some of the recipes do take a long time, both in preparation and in cooking, but once you get them going it gives some time free to do other things. In my case, as a student, I usually did a lot of work while the food was busy making my house smell nice. This book fills a nice niche in my collection for stews and other type food, mostly things I like to cook on cold days after a day of work. The other review here doesn't do it justice.
