Great book, BUT..., Jun 29 2009
By j.s. "mr z" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Country Living The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen: Live Well, Laugh Often, Cook Much (Hardcover)
...I was a bit disappointed!I LOVE the Farm Chicks and check their website/blog often. They always have easy, tasty recipes and fun projects. I searched high and low for this - their first book - and couldn't find it in stores! I eventually ordered it from Amazon.
Firstly, the book is ADORABLE. The pictures are nice, the stories are cute and fun to read, and the design is extremely chic and bright. Perhaps I was just too excited to receive the book, but I was a tad underwhelmed with the final product. Why?
The projects weren't as interesting (or unique) as those on their website. The book features such activities as jar labels, food trays made from antique signs, and cookbook covers. While these are okay, I much preferred the projects from the website (magnets made from soda bottle tops! SO cool!).
The recipes, likewise, were just okay. I ADORE their pie crust recipe (so flaky!). But I was disappointed to only have breakfast, lunch, and dessert fare...especially since some of the lunch items are very simplistic. For example, the pesto sandwich recipe includes: sliced cheese, bread, store-bought pesto, and chicken breast. I didn't need a recipe to tell me that!
Bottom line: The Farm Chicks rock. Their website rocks. Their first cookbook? Good...but it could be so much better! I hope their next publication is more expansive (dinner fare? a wider range of projects?). I recommend checking out their website to see if you like their recipes/projects. Just know that if you love their website like me, you might be slighly underwhelmed with the book.

Yummy!, April 16 2009

Just got this book in my mailbox today-and I've already read it from cover to cover. I LOVE it! It's so fresh and inviting, the pics great, the recipes and projects so tempting! Tonight for dinner I made the Enchilada Soup-absolutely delish, and the Blackberry Crisp, also yummy! I plan to try many many more recipes and some of the crafts. Serena and Terri feel like my best girlfriends already!

Tie on an apron, read this book, then get busy!!!, May 31 2009

Just had to pre-order this book when I saw the ad for it in Country Living magazine. Wow, what a great read. Went to visit my sister, cooked up the Chocolate Butter Cake, Beet Salad and Lemon Cookies. She made me leave my copy with her! I quickly ordered a new copy and still enjoy it cover to cover. We are both official Farm Chicks now. Highly recommend this inspirational book/cookbook/craft book. Thanks Teri and Serena for opening yourselves up and sharing so much, and bringing out the best in all us Farm Chicks.
