Customer Reviews

A great book from my favorite cook book author

A great cookbook. The recipes are straightforward -- some are downright easy -- but Rozin always gets the flavors right. The cookbook is a good read, too, stuffed with interesting information about food and food history.This was my first cookbook by Rozin. Now I also own Ethnic Cuisine and The Universal Kitchen. I like, and use, all three, but Blue Corn and Chocolate is my favorite.The wild-rice and dried corn turkey soup is a post-Thanksgiving tradition at our house.

Many unusual and delicious, easy to prepare recipes.

Of the many cookbooks I own, I have probably actually made more of the recipes from this one than from any other. The accompanying information about the different foods is as interesting as the recipes.

This is the best cookbook I have ever owned

This is the best cookbook I have ever owned. Elizabeth Rozin has an amazing ability with flavor, I have yet to hit a dud and I use the book all the time. I made two totally untested recipes from this book for a dinner party, and they were the best things I served.
