Chicken Soup for the Wine Lover's Soul: A Toast to the Perfect Occasion (Chicken Soup for the Soul) Review

Chicken Soup for the Wine Lover's Soul: A Toast to the Perfect Occasion (Chicken Soup for the Soul)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is the perfect present for the holiday season (or any other special occasion). For those not knowing what to give as a gift, this little tome will definitely please male and female friends and relatives with its inspirational true stories of wine and how wine has brought people together in fellowship and family. First off, this book looks a bit different from the usual Chicken Soup tome - the cover is about an inch smaller in size and the inside pages are printed on soft white paper (instead of the usual bright white) which makes reading easy on the eyes. The cover is shaded with a rosy pink, reminiscent of rose wine. It's a pleasure to hold this book in my hands. And it's an even greater pleasure to relax with this book for an invigorating spell of reading enjoyment. I always feel better after leafing through a Chicken Soup book, and this one in particular. I thrive on "feel good" stories. I appreciate the life lessons that the authors provide, and I get a kick out of seeing how they incorporate those lessons with the joy of wine. Pass the cheese tray, friends, and relax with a glass of rose or white wine - and this book.

The Everything Soup, Stew, and Chili Cookbook (Everything (Cooking)) Review

The Everything Soup, Stew, and Chili Cookbook (Everything (Cooking))

Well, she's done it again. Belinda Hulin's Everything Soup, Stew & Chili cookbook is a must for the serious or not so serious cook. I was sold when I read the first chapter, and I hadn't even gotten to the recipes yet! In it she covers a multitude of helpful and fascinating topics, beginning with the evolution of soups and stews and ending with cautions on safety.
None of my adventures begin or end in the kitchen. I don't like to spend a lot of time preparing meals, but I do love to eat, and Ms. Hulin's Soup, Stew & Chili cookbook satisfies all my requirements.
The book is laid out in a simple, easy-to-understand manner. A quick glance to the left column gives you the ingredients with no nonsense instructions on the right for putting everything together to produce dishes welcome on any table.
I can hardly believe I actually made little pork pies. Delicious pork pies, I might add, and her history and directions for making Cincinnati chili have done nothing if they haven't improved my marriage to a true blue Cincinnati native. All these years I've heard about Cincinnati chili and now I can make it not one, not two, but five ways!
I can't recommend the book too highly, even to those more adventurous in the kitchen than I.
