Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My co-worker purchased this book because we both love the Cedar Cove books. I started using post-its to tab the recipes I wanted to copy, and before I was half way though it, I had so many pages tabbed that I decided I had to have it too. The pictures are lovely, and the notes and stories that accompany the recipes and chapters are really great - especially if you love the books that inspired this. Even if you haven't picked up one of the other books, the recipes in this collection look great! The pages almost have a scrapbook feeling. The first recipe I tried was from page 85: Parmesan Cheese Twists with Fresh Herb Dip. The recipe was easy and impressive! I took a double batch to a party, and not a scrap was left over. I highly recommend this book for those who love a pretty cookbook with practical recipes. The only thing that could have made it better would be if it had been spiral bound - in my opinion it's hard to use a cookbook that doesn't open flat.

Tom's Big Dinners: Big-Time Home Cooking for Family and Friends Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is neat concept, that of "big dinner." Tom and his wife both knew what this was all about, everyone has their own job. Now, for Tom it means that everybody contributes something to the meal. What a great idea!
He starts it with helping us home chefs to "Basics" that is making stuff in advance and saving it, e.g. stocks,dough, etc. so that it comes in handy in putting together spectacular dinners.
Additionally cool about this are the some thirteen feats that are Tom's big dinner gang's favs. There is the rarified Wine Cellar Dinner with Chocolate Crepes for the finale, or the inviting "Merlot Release Picnic." This has as its continuous theme, you guessed it, "merlot." Included is yummy "Lamb Chop T-bones in crushed cherry marinade with tarragon mustard," with merlot in the marinade. This is great picnic or barbie fare.
The book is warmly written with great color photography and source info and wine & drink suggestions galore. Big dinners will be advanced significantly and funnier with this aid.
