Off The Shelf: Cooking From the Pantry Review

Off The Shelf: Cooking From the Pantry
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is worthy of its predecessors. Like Donna Hay's 4 earlier books, this is a beautiful cookbook (the photography and food styling are gorgeous) filled with inventive and reliable recipes. The speciality of this book is that it provides recipes that can be made with just a few staples in the pantry. The asian chicken noodle soup is particularly wonderful.

Pure Simple Cooking: Effortless Meals Every Day Review

Pure Simple Cooking: Effortless Meals Every Day
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I knew nothing about this British cook, Diana Henry, until my niece, Maud, made me baked peppers stuffed with bread crumbs, from ``Pure Simple Cooking." Along with the bread crumbs, go toasted pine nuts and the amazingly good combination of chopped mint and chopped basil. (Maud believes that many good vegetarian recipes, including this one, are made even better by the addition of sauteed sweet Italian sausage. I heartily agree. )
Also a big success: pasta with shrimp, lots of garlic, italian parsley, feta cheese, and lemon zest. The lemon zest, like the mint combined with basil, adds some unusual zing to the dish. What Henry brings to the food world: her recipes are easy but really lively and interesting.

The 4-Ingredient Diabetes Cookbook Review

The 4-Ingredient Diabetes Cookbook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We first checked this book out from our public library to test it and now we can't live without it!
The recipes are delicious and real-life friendly. We do not have diabetes in our household, but want to put healthy nutritious foods on the table.
In my view, any recipe that passes diabetic guidelines will keep the appetite satisfied and fuel our bodies appropriately. But most importantly to us, these recipies appeal to our senses in making mealtime a pleasure with foods we want to enjoy again and again.
Recommended!

Glorious One-Pot Meals: A Revolutionary New Quick and Healthy Approach to Dutch-Oven Cooking Review

Glorious One-Pot Meals: A Revolutionary New Quick and Healthy Approach to Dutch-Oven Cooking
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this cookbook when I was given a dutch oven for Christmas. I was excited about the gift, but wanted to learn more about how to use it. The recipes in this book have left me underwhelmed thus far (I've only had it about a month, but I've made two to three dinners from this book a week, so it's getting good use). Some are definitely yummy (Chicken Satay stands out as my favorite), but some just didn't seem to have as much flavor as I was hoping for. Regardless, this cookbook is a must-have for learning how to cook in a dutch oven. I've come up with my own recipes and ingredients, but cooked them as advised and explained in this book and everything comes out wonderful!!! I can't believe how quick and easy it is to get dinner on the table now!
Another note - most recipes call for baking in a 450 degree oven, but my dutch oven (Lodge Color Enameled Cast-Iron 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice) indicated that it shouldn't be used above 400 degrees. I kept the oven at 400 and kept a close eye to see if I would need to modify the time, but didn't - everything still cooked up perfectly and in the noted time.

New Food Fast Review

New Food Fast
Average Reviews:

This Aussie chef has prepared a most unique work, broken down into three classifications: under ten minutes, under twenty and under thirty.
Coupled with this is a section to stock up on pantry items on a schedule which will assure the cook of having most of the ingredients on hand to prepare these tasty dishes on the spur of the moment.
All of the dishes tested herein are delicious, but some have that extra dash of uniqueness or flavor or appeal that for me have turned into "go to dishes" when I want to prepare something special in a quick time. In this category are such recipes as: sweet chili prawn cakes (20 min.) stone fruit and berries in muscato (10 min.) and rocket, chicken and pine nut tabouli (30 min.), little passionfruit cheesecakes (30 min.) curry chicken poached in cocunut (30 min.)
There's also sections on what to do for which meal, basic prep tips like stocks, pastry, etc. and a good glossary.
This book is a gem with its large format and excellent photos.
