The Riversong Lodge Cookbook: World-Class Cooking in The Alaskan Bush Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Living in Alaska I am drawn to try various Alaska cook books and this one is outstanding. There is an awesome recipe for "Pepper Relish" that my husband and his friends beg me to make. In fact friends have bought there own copies of the book becouse I wont loan it out. I've got sticky notes all throught the book with my own reviews and temtations! Its Simple to read and easy to understand recipes. These arent the copied versions of foods you have had before, and she writes a jounal throughout the book to make you feel as if your a guest at her lodge. I hope to find more of her recipes! You will love this very interesting and well written cook book!

Cafe Flora Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wonder: what am I doing writing a review for a cookbook? I rarely write Amazon reviews and the few reviews I have written are related to a completely different genre of book. Plus, I've only recently taken a renewed interest in being in the kitchen - I don't suppose that makes me an "expert" by any stretch of the imagination.
But I wanted to share my opinion of this book with other readers. It's fantastic and the recipes are delicious.
Never before have I enjoyed a cookbook so much. Reading through the table of contents was enough to get my palate fired up. At the time of this writing, I've created over a dozen of the recipes in this book, and each one is a sure winner, not one is a reject. I might have tried more recipes by now, but the temptation to go back to a dish I've already tried is just too great. (We've done the Coconut Tofu with Sweet Chili Dipping sauce four times, now.)
How about a really wonderful Portobello Wellington with Madeira Sauce? Now THAT was a Thanksgiving dinner! Yam and Mushroom Enchiladas with Smoky Tomato Sauce? Spinach, Mushroom, and Gorgonzola in Puff Pastry with Red Pepper Coulis? Despite what I - a carnivore - have always thought, vegetarian cooking can be great. That's a claim I've never been able to make regarding any other vegetarian or vegan cookbook.
The book is extremely well laid out with timing suggestions, "prepare ahead" ideas, and handy tips for getting through the process without any unexpected surprises. Each recipe is preceded by a good description that makes you want to try it immediately. If a recipe has multiple components, each is presented as a logical and timed subsection of the overall plate.
I only wish I knew about this restaurant when I visited Seattle last year. Next time... next time.
Five Stars for the book that got me back into the kitchen after a long hiatus. Feel free to contact me with any questions, but I'll be busy cooking up the next Flora meal.

The Northwest Vegetarian Cookbook: 200 Recipes That Celebrate the Flavors of Oregon and Washington Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A Blue Ribbon for Debra Daniels Zeller! In her new book, "The Northwest Vegetarian Cook Book", Debra helps us realize the importance of food connections. Her profiles of Northwest farmers bring us to the countryside where our fruits, grains, nuts and vegetables are grown. We learn about the challenges and rewards associated with operating a farm, dealing with weather, planting and harvesting.
My favorite part of the Northwest Vegetarian Cook Book is the recipes. With wholesome ingredients, each recipe offers something special. Local ingredients take center stage. This cookbook gives me everything I need to cook delicious, nutritious vegetarian meals.
Today I made Easy Spanish Quinoa (page 170). Easy is an understatement. This recipe comes together with no fuss and no muss. Tomatoes, corn, hazelnuts and garlic add robust flavor to the healthy nutrient-rich quinoa. I am looking forward to trying the other 199 recipes in this cookbook. Anyone who enjoys cooking wholesome meals and using local ingredients will want this book in their kitchen.
