Customer Reviews

Delicious and oh-by-the-way...healthy, too!

I love, love, love this book. As someone who can't eat a lot of dairy and loves food and taste, I have to say this is a great cookbook. It seems like most recipes either have cheese or cream in them. These recipes have a lot of fresh ingredients and taste delicious. I love the sun dried tomato meatloaf (best I've ever had), the tortilla soup, and the chili is great (adding some bacon makes it even better...less healthy, but it is good!). Our kids love these recipes, too. It's definitely a staple cookbook that everyone should have.

Chef Chamberlain Rules!

Chef Richard Chamberlain brings to print wonderful recipes typical of the fine dishes served in his Dallas restaurant. This book is a must for true "beef lovers" and would be a great present for your friends and family. It is great to read that "all of the red meat I have been sticking in my face" for so long, could actually be healthy; when prepared properly.

Great Cookbook

We got the book as a Christmas present, and have already made several recipes. They have all been quick and easy, and turned out great. The fact that the recipes are healthy is a huge bonus. The espresso bourbon sauce is particularly great - I can't get enough of it. This is a great cookbook for beef lovers or for people looking for healthy recipes.
