Yum

This is a great cookbook. I have made so many things out of it and they are all delicious. Most of the recipes are lengthy but tasty!

Incredible stuff!

Out of the hundreds of cookbooks I have this is my most consitently used. Everything is absolutely incredible. Many of the recipes are a bit time consuming but very much worth it! It's full of neat info and tidbits of trivia. Try the bolognese sauce and the barbeque sauce. Both are out of this world.Ken

A cookbook to use again and again!

This is one of my favorite cookbooks! Every recipe I have made from this book has resulted in a "Wow" response from my family. If you like food with bold flavor, this is truly a "must have"!

My new favorite cookbook!

What a great cookbook! As the title suggests, this book is packed with "Big Flavor" recipes. Mr. Fobel has mastered walking that fine line between not enough and too much spice. The resulting recipes are awesome. My current favorites include "Harlem Meatloaf" and his fresh roasted "green chili" -- both of which are absolutely incredible.In addition to the recipes, his cookbook contains lots of little factoids about cooking, techniques, and ingredients.What a great book.Steve
