Product Description
From Amazon
Suppertime, and the Canadian Living is easy. Not to mention “breezy,” in Canadian Living Cooks Step by Step, the illustrated crudités-to-croquembouche multi-course collection of easy-to-follow recipes and professional techniques designed for both novice cooks and gourmets-in-training. Culled from more than 10 years of monthly culinary lessons appearing in Canadian Living magazine, this lavish, lively, and lucid compendium, edited by former CL test kitchen manager Daphna Rabinovitch, is kitchen-ready with its pliable cover, full-colour photo instruction, and open-faced display--obviating the need to flip pages mid-recipe. From sushi to salsa verde, from paella to proper knife technique, it’s all here, and then some, in a Cuisine Canada Award-winning collection of more than 150 dishes encompassing appetizers, desserts, and everything in between. The glossy pages are liberally seasoned with hints and tips in sidebars covering topics ranging from the difference between “2 cups flour, sifted” and “2 cups sifted flour” to conversion ratios for fresh and dried herbs (Rabinovitch and her staff use an unusual 3:1). All recipes offer both imperial and metric measurements for ingredients, as well as a complete nutritional analysis: carbs and calories, fibre and folate (folic acid). Refreshingly, the authors aren’t above allowing a few shortcuts: Chicken Breast Parmesan will be just as successful whether the marinara is homemade or Hunt’s, though it is a bit odd to see a recipe calling for bottled mayonnaise in the same cookbook that teaches you how to make pasta from scratch. It’s been a long time, too, since we’ve seen a culinary tome that had anything good to say about salted butter; here, its use is assumed unless otherwise noted. Elegantly instructive, encouraging, and informative, Canadian Living Cooks Step by Step sometimes marches to the beat of a different whisk. --Tony Mason

Great Food Every Time!,
By M. Leibbrandt - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Canadian Living Cooks Step By Step (Paperback)
Planning a mid-week meal? Planning a party? This book will do for both. I have tried almost every recipe in here and everything, I mean everything from birthday cakes to roast beef, turns out great. Of particular note, a spaghetti bolognese my family clamours for, as-good-as-the-noodle-stand Pad Thai, and cinnamon buns to start Saturday night for a laid-back Sunday morning. There are lots of recipes for those days when you have a couple of things in the fridge and are wondering what to do with them. This book has beautiful colour illustrations so you will know how to fold perogies, roll sushi or stuff a turkey. Better than the Silver Palate for everyday cooking.
