Marlena Spieler is simply the BEST! Her recipes work, they're fully seasoned and colorful. I love her stuff. She writes columns in the SF Chronicle that are always a great read - as colorful as her recipes are and as colorful as SHE is! She's one of those fabulous, lively, energetic people who is way way OUT THERE. I recommend all her books -- and I'm a cooking/food professional so take it from me.
One of the BEST Cookbooks ever!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I think this is one of the most interesting, helpful cookbooks ever! In it Marlena Spieler shows you how to set up your pantry (which, if your like me, is a big plus) and cook hundreds of great recipes! She gives a description of each item that should go in your pantry and then gives you recipes that include it! And another good thing is, that if you have a 'well-stocked kitchen' it's a good deal easier to cook anything, not just recipes from her book.
