Superb recipes that turn out perfectly from the first try

I bought this book for the Shrimp Provencal recipe, which I'd been looking for over many years. I found numerous versions of that dish, but this cookbook offers a recipe that is closest to my sensory memory of eating Shrimp Provencal on the Left Bank in Paris 20 years ago. It is not unusual for me to buy a cookbook for one recipe alone (!), but what is unusual is that, after doing so, I discover a veritable treasure house of delicious and fun recipes to add to my repetoire. That's what I find here. While the reviews focus on the 'comfort food' aspect of this collection, I have been best served by the vegetarian selections, the many wonderful ways of cooking vegetables (from sauteed spinach to baked beef tomato slices, stuffed avocados and much else - including the provencal vegetable recipes (nourishing and delicious). This is truly a gem of a cookbook and the recipes are delicious without being difficult (or full of ingredients one has trouble finding). The lovely illustrations and line drawings are an added delight. I truly recommend this wonderful cookbook and wouldn't give up (or even lend) my copy for anything. Bon appetit!

Wholesome, fun and delicious...

It's easy to use this cookbook and you'll feel like you've stolen some of your grandmother's secret recipes as you cook. I've had this book since the author and her husband gave it to me on my 21st birthday when I was in regional theatre in upstate NY. At 40 yrs old, I still tease the book's dog-eared pages to make many delectible dishes and desserts from this treasure. I substitute for the listed ingredients and add to what is already an exceptional value; you can too. Enjoy!

Good Enough to Eat: Bountiful Home Cooking

Serious comfort food. Having been a customer of the restaurant since the beginnings when it was tiny and a haven of warmth and real food, I was quick to buy this book from the shop when I saw it. It contains reliable recipes that are savory and hearty. I always know the recipes, which allow for variation will be a success. The illustrations are delightful and set the country kitchen stage well. Family and friends are always blown away with my Good Enough to Eat creations. I highly recommend it even though I've always thought of it as a best kept secret.
