Customer Reviews

One of the best cookbooks you can own!

While I realize this cookbook is out of print and hard to find, you should do what you can (legally) to acquire a copy of it. I have a rather extensive collection of cooking tomes and I have to say that this one is most definitely a necessity for any kitchen, country-themed or not. The recipes themselves are easy to prepare (for the most part), with simple and easy-to-follow instructions that are anything but vague and mysterious. The ingredients are typically anything one can find in any supermarket throughout the country, so no worries about exotic or rare food items here. The pictures included are also not only beautifully shot, but very helpful in both preparation and plating. The true beauty of this book, though, is again that you need not have a country kitchen to make and enjoy the recipes herein. There are some that are perfect for a summer barbecue, spring meal, or autumn feast. A good portion, though, are ideal for winter, with stick-to-the-ribs comfort foods and seasonal offerings used in the recipes. It's a great way to use organic ingredients in your everyday cooking, too. While the book never specifically calls for them, you can easily adapt the recipe to be completely organic and totally health-conscious. Overall, it really is a great companion to any cook in any kitchen. If the country theme is actually what you are going for, though, then you should definitely track down and purchase a copy of this cookbook. I highly recommend it and the recipes are delicious!
