In the early '80's, a friend and I drove up from Boston to experience this amazing restaurant many times. This cookbook has been in use in my kitchen for over 20 years...easy and elegant, with no fuss! Thanks, James Haller.
Wonderful Food Memories

I discovered my copy of The Blue Strawberry Cookbook which has been in my possession since 1978 and copyrighted in l976.I was pleasantly surprised to see that James Haller and his restaurant are still giving culunary experiences, the likes of which I will never forget. It is as fabulous a book now as it was then and the pork chop recipes on p. 65 are superb. His style is casually elegant. I am so happy I will be able to revisit his recipes. I am also so impressed that James has written cookbooks for the seriously sick. Goood work.
fun & adventure with food

I bought this book after a friend cooked us a meal using the "recipes". Its fun to read and an adventure to try using his non-recipe style of cooking with unusual combinations of ingredients. My husband loved the results too.
The Blue Strawbery Cookbook : Cooking (Brilliantly
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I had this book about 7 years ago and it was one of my favorites. I foolishly donated it to a local library. What a mistake! I had no idea it was still in print and was ecstatic to find it here! This is a great book. No color pictures...or pictures at all, as I recall...but the text is amusing, inspiring, not at all intimidating. I just put it on my wishlist. If I don't get it for Mother's Day, I'm buying it myself!
Stunningly Simple, Extraordinary Food

This cookbook was a total surprise to me. The style is witty and irreverent. The concept is terrific and the inspiration Chef Haller gives to cooks is brilliant! Just check out the suggestion for a chicken dinner for one -- stunningly simple and totally wonderful. This cookbook is a "must own" for anyone who cares about food. I highly recommend it. It's one of the best in my collection.
