A+++ You have to own it! And, you'll Use it!

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
You'll laugh, you'll salivate, you'll be amazed...but mostly you'll get hungry reading through all the playful and delicious recipes. Especially since the recipes are illustrated with some of the most gorgeous food photography in the biz. Once you've satisfied the hunger with one of Bob's signature recipes, you'll be able to relax and read the great advice that he gives on every page. The best thing about this "best of bob" cookbook is that every recipe is straight forward, the instructions are direct and easy to follow and the results are spectacular. There is a surreal presentation for a number of the recipes, particularly the early recipes, but it's not really about the presentation, it's really about the food!! This is one cookbook that you will use over and over again. And, Bob won't mind a bit when you take your happy applause from your dinner guests who are blown away by your culinary creations! Buy one for yourself and all your favorite foodie friends! And, by the way, even though Bob is a good friend and co-wrote Pizza on the Grill with me, those facts have no bearing on what I think of his latest tome!

Surreal cooking and a Toaster mobile
Dec 4 2010
By wogan

Format:Paperback
Bob Blumer is an eccentric cook, which makes for a different cookbook; but it is fun, cheerful and interesting. It is not just recipes. He tells the story of his Toaster mobile and some of its and his adventures; picking grapes in France breaking Guinness records. There are many colour pictures included as well as an index.
He gives really good solid advice, filled with common sense but again in a fun spirit
Included is setting up your kitchen and preparing for a party. The recipe sections include: cocktail bites (Bee stings are not to be missed and are pretty simple), soups and salads, stovetop recipes, BBQ, (including pizza), desserts, breakfasts and his surreal food- lamb that looks like a cupcake and meatloaf that looks like carrot cake (that is very good and not that hard to prepare). Recipes range from the simple to complicated.
A tutorial on making Caesar salad and 20 ways to avoid making dessert are incorporated - which suggests among other things, to serve penny candy. Who wouldn't love that
This is a different type of cookbook, out of the ordinary, not for a beginning cook, unless they really want to be adventurous; but for anyone who enjoys food, has fun with it and wants to try something unusual.
