A New Way to Cook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If I had to live with only one cookbook, or were recommending a single volume for any contemporary cook, it would be this. While it does not cover in detail beginning cooking technique such as knife skills, basic cuts, and identification of tools, it provides substantive information and such an intelligent point of view that even a modestly-experienced cook could utilize it. Schneider's approach, not really new to readers familiar with the also wonderful Martha Rose Shulman and Rozanne Gold, among others, is nevertheless a practical way of eating healthy in delicious, sophisticated dishes.
Schneider endorses the practice of replacing heavy and often unhealthy fats with herbs and spices. By using wholesome fats judiciously, by highlighting intrinsic flavors, and by using taste rather than slavish adherence to tradition, she presents a mighty range of wonderful recipes. The recipes also turn out fantastically. Her straight forward, first person writing reveals her love of food and is devoid of pretentions. The recipes include informative introductions, exceptionally helpful notes about ingredients, variations and extensions, and guidelines for advance preparation. The book is gorgeous looking, with a beautiful lay out and user-friendly format. The index is complete and detailed, and each section of the book lists its recipes for the convenience of a cook looking for, say, ideas for tonight's soup.
The sections of the book include a great Vegetables chapter, Beans/Legumes, a wonderful Pasta chapter, Grains, Seafood, Meat/Poultry, Breads, a fantastic Soups section, Salads, Desserts, Flavor Essences, Broths, Oils, and Sauces. An appendix provides nutritional analyses of the ingredients and each dish (including calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and sodium for dieters.) Large and weighty, the book would make a great gift and addition to any cook's library.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I buy cookbooks to read and if compelling, I will make a recipe or two from it. This one is so compelling that I've made four recipes in the first week of owning it. The introductory chapters on health and eating are informational. The recipes are curious enough that I tried one. It was delicious and now I can't stop. The ingredients are easy to find as well.

Estonian Tastes And Traditions (Hippocrene Cookbook Library) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is great for all aspects of Estonian cooking. I am an Estonian-American 1st generation living in Australia. I have tried for years to do the 'Kringel", festive raisin bread, and all have been sorry attempts. This is the only book that has taken me through it step by step, and this Easter it was terrific. Exactly as my mother used to do. The same with the other receipes, although there are various American additives used which are not available overseas, ie 'Knorr aromatic seasoning'. , 'Old Bay seasoning'. I either do not use it, or use something else. So far it has not proven to be a great obstacle, only a slight irritant.

Cooking Outside the Pizza Box: Easy Recipes for Today's College Student Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I originally bought this book for myself, and found it to be too introductory for me, so I gave it to my brother, who despite being older than me still calls me to ask things like how you mash a potato. The recipes are very easy to read, making no assumptions about previous knowledge, and they utilize store-bought pre-prepared ingredients (the author is especially fond of frozen potsticker dumplings) in a way that is helpful to college students, although I thought occasionally the scratch alternative would have been no more difficult and probably cheaper and better tasting.
What I love best about the book is the way it is organized. Recipes that require no cooking or are microwave-only are marked with big icons on the page, and while the recipes are organized by meal or food type, like most books, the book also contains multiple tables of contents that group the recipes differently--vegetarian, microwavable, appropriate for a date, seasonally, etc.--and even has one set of listings that put together recipes for a complete meal. While not particularly elaborate (as most of the recipes are pretty simple anyway) I love this feature, because matching flavors can be particularly difficult for a new cook, and for any cook a recipe book can be unhelpful in planning a meal if you don't kind of already know what you want.
The first section of the book is also really good for first-timers because it goes over the basics of setting up, cleaning, and sharing a kitchen. It provides lists of basic equipment and the basic ingredients you should always have on hand, and this list is in general pretty sensitive to the limitations of dorm sizes and mini-fridges. It even gives cleaning instructions for some of the less obvious cleaning challenges in the kitchen. I thought the list of things to discuss and agree on with roommates regarding kitchen use was particularly helpful. Lastly, the book itself is well-designed, being spiral-bound rather than a traditional paperback, so that it lays flat easily while staying open to the same page hands-free. This seems like a silly note, but I have a lot of cookbooks, some with a similar target market as this one, and I've had to waste a lot of time copying recipes down onto other paper or recipe cards just because I needed both hands and the book kept closing itself or flipping to another page.
In summary, a great book for someone who doesn't know anything about cooking. Would make a great high school graduation gift perhaps made more interesting by pairing it with some of the basic kitchen tool necessities listed in the first few chapters of the book.

Schuler's Cookbook: Fresh Recipes & Warm Memories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having grown up in Michigan, I have many fond memories of Sunday brunches at Schuler's in Marshall, Michigan. Originally opened in 1909, Schuler's is a Michigan fixture that specializes in heavier traditional dishes such as prime rib and London broil. The attached pub, Winston's, features some lighter bar fare such as the classic Schuler's Bar Cheese and barbeque meatballs.
Jonathan Schuler represents the fourth generation of Schulers behind the restaurant. He serves as narrator and guide to the many traditional and updated dishes featured in Schuler's: Fresh Recipes and Warm Memories. Classics such as Schuler's Bar Scheese (vastly superior to the bland supermarket variety; Schuler's sold the recipe to Cambell's Soup in 1982) and barbeque meatballs sit side-by-side with more contemporary offerings such as Goat Cheese Gratin, Savory Pesto Cheesecake, Creamy Sauteed Morel Mushrooms, and Baked Artichoke Hearts with Bread Crumbs and Fresh Herbs.
Sandwiches includes such gems as Roasted Vegetable Panini with Handmade Hummus and Feta Cheese, Schuler's Classic Reuben, and Fresh Basil, Tomato, and Camembert on Grilled Sourdough.
Soups include Schuler's divine Seafood Chowder, Midwest Corn Chowder, Pumpkin Bisque, and Michigan Bean and Vegetable Soup.
From the lakes and oceans, we have the Perfect Crab Cake, Broiled Whitefish with Herbed Butter (a Michigan delicacy), Grilled Salmon with Balsamic Vinegar Roasted Beets, and Hazelnut Crusted Walleye.
There is also a large assortment of meat- and game-based recipes such as Venison Ragout, Venison Loin with a Cherry Cognac Sauce, Prime Rib, Pan-Roasted Duck, and London Broil.
To round out the collection of favorites, there are also numerous recipes for bread, salads, omelettes, pastas, simple and delicious vegetable sides (Roasted Asparagus with Pine Nuts, Cauliflower with Lemon and Herb Butter, alcoholic beverages, and divine desserts, including Schuler's classic Baked Alaska.
The cookbook is beautifully presented, featuring a very informative introduction about Schuler's origins and family ties, changes that the restaurant has undergone across the decades, and numerous photos of the restaurant, including overlays of the many famous literary quotations painted along its walls.
Recipes are clearly presented step-by-step, many with an informative introduction from Jonathan Schuler on preparation and presentation, and the included photographs are mouthwateringly gorgeous. Jonathan's guidance is easy to follow, with no "fancy" equipment or techniques necessary, so this is a perfect cookbook for the beginner as well as the professional. This is a beautiful tribute to a Michigan dining institution, and one that brought back many happy memories of dining at Schuler's over the last twenty years.
