Customer Reviews

Who needs pictures with such great recipes?

The Girls Who Dish! doesn't have pictures, but the recipes evoke an image of great food put together with flair and imagination. The recipes sometimes combine unusual items in new ways, but the underlying emphasis is on good food cooked well. Everything I have tried from this book has been exceptional.

This top-notch book provides contemporary, simple recipes.

It is surprising to find a cook book without any pictures, which immediately left me skeptical. The recipes range from soup to dessert, but many seem very similar to each other. As competetive as the market is for cookbooks, playing on the fact that this was written by professional, female chefs provides a new twist. There is no doubt in my mind these recipes will work for any level of cook, even though a few ingredients may be hard to find. I think the concept has promise, and the recipes work well, but the contributors should have focused on a better variety of dishes. This book would please a chef looking to impress discriminating guests and seeking new ideas for dinner parties. Finally, it bears mentioning that this book has the metric conversions for its recipes as well.
