Customer Reviews

most long-lived cookbook in my collection

This is one of the first cookbooks I ever bought and it is still one of my favorites. I reach for this cookbook when company is coming over and I want to serve something flavorful and interesting, yet simple enough to make while straightening up the house and sipping wine.

One of the most versatile cookbooks I've encountered.

I purchased Beneath the Palms and found it to be one of the most reached for cookbooks in my kitchen, of which I have many. The range of recipes from casual to fine dining fits all occasions. In particular I find the Cilantro Vinaigrette, Beef Tenderloin with Peppercorn Crust and Whiskey Sauce, Boursin Cheese Spread, and Asparagus with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto easy but elegant enough for entertaining. For a wonderful cool meal try Chilled Avocado Soup, Redfish with Mango Salsa, and Papaya Puree. You can't beat the Tropical Fruit Glazed Cheesecake Tart or the Apricot Doboschtorte for dessert
