A must have cook book if you love flavour and freshness,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Whitewater Cooks At Home (Paperback)
I saw this cookbook in a gift store and, after reading a few of the entries, I knew I had to have it.When it arrived from Amazon, I tried a recipe the first day and it's now sitting prominently on my counter because I'm using it so frequently. It contains chapters on Starters : Salads : Soups & Sides : Dinners : Desserts. As with many modern cookbooks, the photography is inviting but with these the photos are true to the end product. I like that she provides suggestions for what to serve each recipe with. She sometimes offers suggestions for substitutions, and if the recipe is ideally suited for making a day or two ahead of expected company. I've tried so many of the recipes so far and one of them twice (Seared Duck & Orange Salad, though I substituted chicken for the duck), that I won't list them all. But here are a few of our favourites from the many I've made: "Blue Cheese, Bosc Pear, & Pecan Salad", "Crudites with Nutty Miso Dressing" (great and simple when you have guests), "Caramelized Onion & Gorgonzola Tarts", "Tuscan Style Lemon & Herb Split Chicken", "Grilled Steak with Oven Roasted Tomatoes, Blue Cheese, & Red WIne Demi-Glaze", oh and the outstanding "Halibut with Wasabi Pea Crust"! -- that was amazing and so quick and easy. Now I feel guilty leaving out some of the other memorable dishes but you get the idea. She also explained a simple way to ensure fish is done correctly which I've been following ever since - no more overcooked fish in our house :) One thing every one of the recipes has in common so far is flavour -- there is a distinct and delightful flavour to each dish -- never something bland or boring. Just because the dishes are full of flavour, they are not difficult to make. The reason I'm writing this is because I came online to order another Whitewater Cookbook since this one is so amazing. This is coming from someone who hardly ever buys new cookbooks -- that's how impressed I am with this one. My husband thinks I've gone to cooking school!

This review is from: Whitewater Cooks At Home (Paperback)
This cookbook series is THE best since Thew Best of Bridge came out. Everything is fresh, tasty and original. The pictures are beautiful and the quality if the paper makes this , I believe, the perfect Christmas gift for your girlfriends or wife. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
