Prime Time Emeril: More TV Dinners from America's Favorite Chef Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is a good compilation of the recipes from his TV show. Most of these you can download from the Food TV web site for free. This book just puts it all together, which is why I bought it. The recipes exemplify Emeril cooking pure and simple. As long as you follow the guidelines for "fresh" herbs, the recipes come out very good. Some can be time consuming and some are fairly easy. I labored through the Duck and Sausage Etouffee and am glad I did. I learned the different flavors of the rue. The flavors can't be beat - but it takes time. I think this is a good addition to anyone's cookbook library. I also have his New New Orleans cook book and Louisiana Real and Rustic. I have favorites in all of them. If you enjoy getting on that cutting edge of "gourmet cooking," I think you will enjoy this book.

How to Cook Without a Book: Recipes and Techniques Every Cook Should Know by Heart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I already own a bookshelf of cookbooks, but Pam Anderson's is truly unlike any other out there. It explains, in a concise manner, the basis for the primary forms of cooking (from scratch!) that we all love, but never cook for lack of time: those hearty soups, salads, sauces to go with that ever-present chicken, and how to expand your menu way beyond chicken, and so much more. Unbelievable, she shows us that we *can* cook these on a weeknight (most within 30 minutes).
I love the concept behind this book because, while I enjoy cooking, I often don't have time for all of the recipes that are my family's favorites -- or at least I didn't think I did. This book teaches you that a soup, for example, is a few basic ingredients that you probably already have in your home, and that it can be prepared in 20 minutes! She shows you how this is true for a wide variety of meats, pasta dishes, appetizers, desserts, even stir-fry and pad thai dishes.
While there are also example recipes for every category of food in the book, after reading it, you will be inspired to create your own variations, even if you never thought you could. In addition, there are tips on how to make most of this food sophisticated enough for a dinner party, including example menus.
With the help of Pam Anderson's book, I now have the joy and the option of creating my own recipes, instead of constantly pulling a book from the shelf to find the answer to "What's for dinner?"
It's easy to read, thoroughly enjoyable and best of all, the ideas presented will help end the feeling that cooking the nightly dinner is such a chore!
