The Devil Made Me Do It!.......2006-06-02
There are oodles of great recipes for spicy deviled eggs in this book. Some with crab or shrimp or bits of bacon or ham take the egg to a new level. And if you have one of those wonderful egg-shaped platters for deviled eggs, you'll be the hit of the party if you bring one of the recipes from this book. Plus the color photos are delicious looking, too.
Interesting, creative but simple.......2006-03-22
The variety of recipes is outstandng. One also would have many of the ingredients in their pantry.
This purchase was actually a gift because I own a copy.
A single-item cookbook done well.......2005-03-31
Perhaps you love deviled eggs, and can't have enough ways to make them. More likely, you like deviled eggs, but you're a little tired of the standard repetoire. Or you cook for people who like non-threatening food, and you want to throw a little excitement in their lives.
In any of these situations, you might consider this little cookbook, which does indeed have 50 recipes for deviled eggs. These sort of books can be rather lame; I've certainly encountered several of them that have two or three decent recipes, and then two dozen recipes that you'd never consider making.
Happily, this sweet little book avoids that trap. It's separated into several sections: the hard facts (an introduction to boiling eggs and other preperatory steps); good old eggs (the expected batch); slightly cracked (interesting variations); lucifer goes uptown (fancy recipes, such as one that uses caviar); and hell breaks loose (spicy recipes).
The introductory section is a little sparse. While it does provide some tips on cooking the eggs (such as turning your carton of eggs on its side, to ensure that the yolks are centered for easy fillin), it leaves out a few more suggestions that I think are common. (For instance, I long ago learned to make the filling inside a Ziploc sandwhich bag, then cut off the corner to squish it into the eggs... no mess, and evenly mixed filling.)
But the star here is the recipes, and they're... they're NICE. There are about 10 recipes for your basic deviled egg, one of which is sure to match the way your Mom made them. (With or without Worcestershire sauce, for instance.) I've made one or two of these and they came out fine. Okay, I should admit that I scarfed down the whole batch and didn't leave any for anybody else.
The "slightly cracked" section uses various unusual (but not weird) ingredients, such as avocado or deviled ham. Some of these veer into the "ya gotta be kidding" range, such as "strawberry cheesecakes on the half shell."
But the author makes up for it with the fancy stuff, which has recipes for deviled eggs based on bloody marys or served with hollandaise. And the spicy variations are sure to appeal to the "if it's hot it's good" crowd, with one recipe using chipotle pepper and orange zest; another is "wasabi tuna eggs."
It's not haute cuisine, but it's a useful little book. If you're called upon for potluck dinners or office parties, it'd be a handy one to have on the shelf.

Book Description
White Goat Cheddar, Danish Blue, Stilton, Holland Gouda. If you're confident in the kitchen and crave cheese, you can learn to make it at home. Each of these 30 recipes is rated by difficulty: Easy would be the soft French cheese, Fromage Blanc; Medium, due to the handwork, patience, and time, would be Stilton; and Difficult, for those who enjoy a challenge and love puttering about the kitchen, would be Camembert, because it takes about 9 hours to complete the processes. Each recipe alerts you to the amount of time involved, and how best to store your finished cheese. You're likely to own some of the supplies and equipment required, and the recipe will alert you when a cheese requires specific products or molds, all of which are easily obtainable. So what could be better than impressing your dinner guests with homemade Feta with pita chips, or that Feta Spinach Olive Pie recipe that incorporates it!

Beautiful and mmmmgoooodd.......2006-07-02
I hate Ricki Carroll's book. So there.
And I did not come to this book as a virgin cheesemaker, so I don't know really how helpful it would be for a beginner but I think *anyone* could follow these instructions and make good and glorious cheeses.
If you are new to cheese, know that cheese is a forgiving thing, that there are always options, and that most of the time, the results are edible no matter what.
This book has been a great resource and an inspiration for me.
Light on........2005-01-30
I agree with the first reviewer, Andy, this book looks nice
but for information on home cheese making you can't go past
Ricki Carroll's book.
Little Content.......2005-01-07
The book is like one of those $5 cookbooks with lots of pictures and little content. If you'd like to learn how to make cheese consider Carroll's book.
Very good.......2003-09-10
This book shall get you started in home cheesemaking. It is well written it is clear and it has lots of beautiful pictures. It contains a little less info than the similar book authored by Carroll. Buy one or the other.
GOOD GUIDE TO CHEEZIE TIMES.......2001-10-31
GOT THIS AS A GIFT FOR MY MOM GREAT BOOK!! good illustrations and realistic recipies. great photos and sources for products needed to make the cheese. Some cheeses need equipment most don't. Very reasonably priced for the information contained in the book.probably the best of amazons suggested cheese books{I bought two} OK time to cut some cheese

broad array of hearty recipes.......2002-04-05
If you want a cookbook that features hearty recipes, you need look no further than "A Glorious Harvest." Not only does it feature great recipes, it is also beautiful. I usually don't keep cookbooks (I check them out of the library) but this book is so appealing that I am tempted to get my own copy.
"A Glorious Harvest" is divided into sections based on where the main ingredients come from (examples: "The Pasture;" "The Orchard"). There are a lot of unique recipes. The section on Game is especially useful.
The only weakness I see in this book is that it only gives a few recipes for each type of food. Yet this is excusable when one considers the broad array of foods presented. The paper bag potatoes recipe alone is worth the price of the book.
I recommend "A Glorious Harvest" highly.
Visually Stunning Photography..........2001-06-15
I could really just leave this cookbook open on page 212-213 because the pictures is so beautiful and would inspire anyone to make Savarin.
It is a pity they don't have a picture here of this book. It is quite visually pleasing. Henrietta Green reclaims some of the unbridled joy of preparing luscious cuisine from fresh, full-flavored ingredients and it shows in the photography and watercolor sketches. The headnotes are also interesting to read and I would say this is a cookbook collectors find. This is one of those coffee table cookbooks you will want to drag into the kitchen as you are inspired.
This is a rediscovery of the rich, true flavors of nature's bounty. Henrietta Green's true passion for food is shown by her delightful anecdotes from her countryside travels. While the poultry and game section may sound a bit exotic to some, you might even start to mail-order a few items so you can try some of the recipes.
The Pickles, Preserves and Sauces chapter is very unique and boasts a selection of wonderful sauces and jams. The basic recipes will be a new cooks dream. You can learn how to roast a chicken or make a basic pie pastry. The desserts include hard-to-find recipes for Tarte Tatin, Pears in a Brioche, Clafoutis and Black Currant Sorbet. A recipe for Lavender Ice Cream got my attention. In the winter, there will be many soups to try.
I just fell in love with this cookbook because it also has such a European flair. This is a U.S. edition but the cookbook was originally published in 1992 in London.
Do look for this book as it is out of print, but may be found through a used book store.

Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate, all-American comfort food. Most Americans, especially children, are familiar with the version that comes out of the blue cardboard box, but acclaimed cookbook author Joan Schwartz has something to say about that in her collection Macaroni & Cheese. Schwartz has compiled over 50 original and inventive recipes from many well-known chefs and restaurants. Most of the recipes start off with a basic béchamel sauce (milk whisked into a roux) and add various domestic and foreign cheeses to the hot mixture, but some find room for more exotic ingredients, like truffles, duck prosciutto, oysters, sausage, and codfish. In addition, there's a glossary of almost 40 milk and goat cheese varieties that appear within the recipes. After sampling some of the more unusual recipes with such fascinating and complementary flavors, it will be time to put your standard assumptions about mac and cheese to rest, and put the blue box at the back of the pantry shelf. --Teresa Simanton
Book Description
Simple and perfect, macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food, a classic dish that's reassuring and familiar, yet, with the addition of a bit of truffle oil or salsa, it kicks into high gear with an unexpected burst of flavor. Now, for the first time in one collection, dozens of well-known chefs, including Bobby Flay, Rocco DiSpirito, Charlie Palmer, David Burke, Matthew Kenney, Katy Sparks, and Rick Bayless, share favorite recipes, from both their childhood memories and their award-winning restaurants. Here are recipes for Macaroni with Wisconsin Asi-ago, Baked Four-Cheese Pasta, Penne with Roquefort, Macaroni and Cheese Croquettes, Green Chile Mac and Cheese, and Chunks of Lobster Swimming in Cheesy Macaroni. While the basic concept of pasta and cheese remains the same, each recipe has its own taste and personality, blending and balancing flavor, texture, and presentation for a bold Mac and Cheese experience.
Simple enough for the novice cook yet sophisticated enough to impress the experienced home chef, Macaroni and Cheese is a fun-filled cookbook that will be enjoyed for years to come.
Customer Reviews:
YUM!.......2006-05-17
I do not own this book yet, however, I checked it out from the library and I could not get enough of it. The worse thing about this book is deciding which mac and cheese recipe to make first.
4 outta 5 ain't bad.......2004-11-25
Macaroni & cheese has been my favorite comfort food for forever, so I was thrilled to buy this book when it came out. I've made about 5 of the recipes (multiple times) and all but one have been fabulous. I wanted to make Rocco DiSpirito's croquettes (pages 74-75) as part of my Thanksgiving dinner for tomorrow, but I could never get the mixture to form into balls no matter what I did. I added egg to a test batch, more mayo, more sour cream, some flour. Nothing worked. If anyone can figure out how to get these things to stick together, please email me at martha@terracepartners.com. While you're at it, if you happen to have any recipes for those divine little cheese croquettes they sell all over the south of Spain, send those along, too.
Mac & Cheese!?!? Not in the 'Blue Box' Anymore!!.......2003-04-26
Is there any food dish that is more American than Macaroni and Cheese? Many of us, myself included, grew up with the 'blue box' and as our tastes developed, so did our disdain for this dish. I tended to equate 'Mac & Cheese' with that meat product that comes in the blue can.
But Joan Schwartz has exploded the low-brow image of America's comfort food. This book is incredible! There are so many varieties of this dish from the 'classic' dishes to international flavors to what Ms. Schwartz calls 'Mac and Cheese Today'. And don't think that the cheese is that orange stuff. Swiss, Fontina, Mascarpone, Feta and Mozzarella are just a few of the varieties that you will use in your recipes. And just when you thought that the cheeses were a stretch, recipes with lobster, prosciutto, artichoke hearts, portabello and crimini mushrooms and chiles and chipotle peppers to mention a few, will delight your tastes.
I'll admit that I bought this book with a great deal of skepticism. A few bites of the 'Chunks of Lobster Swimming in Cheesy Macaroni' dispelled my reservations. Other favorites include 'Farfalle with Fontina, Tasso Ham and Baby Spinach' and Mac and Smoked Cheddar with Ham and Chipotles'. Imagine the look on guests' faces when you announce that you are serving them Mac and Cheese and their surprise when you serve a dish approaching haute cuisine.
Let's admit it...we liked the 'blue box' growing up and most of us are ashamed to reveal our love of this American staple. Now we can proudly bring this long demeaned dish back to the table and rekindle our fondness for it. Buy the book....it's a keeper!
A mac and cheese lover's must-have!.......2002-11-01
Clearly written, with easy to follow instructions, and guide to ingredients, including definitions and sources. I love the 50's style art and kitchy-ness of this wonderful comfort food book. The recipes go from simple and basic to complex and gourmet. Even my husband loved this book so much, he followed a recipe and made a decent meal from scratch for the first time in his life.
I plan to attempt most of the recipes in this book.
Loved this Book.......2002-09-05
The recipe for greek mac n' cheese is one of my favorite recipes of all time. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Out of Print -- Try Two Others!.......2001-05-29
I bought this book along with two others, "And That's How You Make Cheese!" by Shane Sokol and "Cheesemaking Made Easy" by Ricki and Robert Carroll. I liked all three books, but this one is now out-of-print.
If you are a beginner looking to make some of your first cheeses, I recommend "And That's How You Make Cheese!" by Shane Sokol. This book is very easy to follow and has recipes for all of the more popular cheeses, 30 of them, I think. If you have some practice under your belt and want to try some of the more obscure cheeses, order "Cheesemaking Made Easy." There are more recipes for cheeses you may not have heard of before, but this book may be a little confusing if you are beginner.
All of these books are good, and will help you make good cheeses right in your kitchen. Please check out these other two that are available and are similar.
An invaluable book for the beginner cheese maker.......2000-04-07
This is a great book for anybody who loves cheese. I was a total cheese maker novice when a friend who is a chef told me about this book. It is perfect. I found many of the recipes practical and basic. There were several labeled as easy and fairly easy, which gave me the confidence to give them a try. I really enjoyed the history of cheese and other tips, such as storage, uses, yield, etc. This is an invaluable book for the beginner cheese maker. Experienced cheese makers would love it also. It's a beautiful book with excellent photography. I hope to see a series of cookbooks by this author.

A wonderful collection of dairy dishes that I can't wait to make my own! As a Kosher cook, I don't mix dairy and meat in one dish or one meal. Whenever I want to plan a meal that will be dairy only,I always have to search through many of my cookbooks to find non meat recipes. Finally, with this book, I have 80 recipes that are just dairy. All the dishes in this book seem perfect for everyday meals or those special occasions you want to show off! Incredibly, this cookbook has a photograph for every recipe. The photos are so tempting that you find yourself moving your nose closer to the page trying to smell the dishes. Reading through the recipes I wanted to try every recipe from homemade granola, cheese pancakes, heuvos rancheros,tomato rice soup, diet vegetable soup, french onion soup, tuna nicoise (with fresh tuna), walnut encrusted salmon, linguini with salmon, penne a la vodka, pesto pizza, portabella tower, chocolate yodel cake, three layer carrot muffins, zucchini muffins and strawberry shortcake. These are only a few of the 80 delectable recipes. This cookbook would make a lovely gift to the newly wed or the busy mom, someone new to cooking and baking or someone like myself who has been cooking and baking for many years from a cookbook collection of 500 plus books. The recipe instructions are clear and informative. The author really takes you through each recipe step by step.
I hope this review has helped you.

Great if you are a hppie living in Berkeley!!!.......2005-04-17
I ordered this book for my son who is one year old and has severe allergies to dairy, eggs and nuts. I thought this would be a wonderful cookbook to make him recipes with...Boy was I wrong! Most of the recipes are listed several times within the book, making the description of 450 recipes a joke! Not to mention the ingredients she lists are so far out of reach for any normal Joe living in the city or remote country area...they just aren't available in my state(trust me, I have exhausted my resources trying!) And when I was actually able to find the ingredients to MAKE the recipe...it turned out less than bland, it was gruel! I figured if I didn't even want to eat it based on the appearance alone, my son wasn't going to have anything to do with it...so I tasted it and realized the taste was just as bad if not worse. Definitely not the book for someone who is just starting on a vegetarian or restricted-diet journey. My husband recommended throwing it in the trash, but I am not about to throw away something I paid almost $20 for!!!
Recipes that will make you glow from the inside out........2000-04-22
Meridith McCarty has written a marvelous cookbook that satisfies various niches: it is a macrobiotic cookbook, but would also suit vegetarians who are not finding the peaceful energy that comes from balancing foods properly & cooking them according to methods used for thousands of years by our ancestors. How can you bake bread without yeast (which most of us are allergic to)? How do you cook esoteric grains such as quinoa, buckwheat & amaranth? How do you incorporate sea vegetables into your diet without scaring your family? Oh, and if you enjoy "reading" cookbooks as if they were novels, you'll learn how our ancestors (recipes are from throughout the world) made homey, hearty, & ultimately nourishing meals & desserts from simple ingredients & utensils. A must for anyone trying to "get back to nature" or needing a bit of inspiration beyond the typical macrobiotic diet.

I actually haven't seen this book, but I do have Lewis's Cook's Practical Handbook to Ice Cream, which is the (original) British version. The TOC and index look identical except for spellings (flavor vs. flavour, and so on). I'm guessing Iced Cool doesn't refer to double cream or caster sugar, but I can't say whether it includes the recipe for Gooseberry and Clotted Cream Ice Cream.
As ice cream books go, this one is more of a how-to guide than a recipe dump. Lewis spends many pages on equipment, ingredients and basic procedures. She's a particular aficionada for presentation, and each page is enhanced with about 3 or 4 photographs.
The 50 or so recipes mostly cover the basics. Still, there are some unusual recipes, such as Rhubarb Ginger Ice Cream and Dondurma Kaymalki (!). Lewis has a few interesting ideas: She likes to add cream late to avoid greasy/buttery texture. To the dismay of purists, she recommends corn starch when working with egg yolks. Her berry ice creams have no eggs or milk, and cream is only added after the puree has been churned for 10-15 minutes. Conveniently for those who lack an ice cream machine, she provides instruction for finishing every recipe by hand utilizing whipped cream.

Best of the best!.......2005-06-03
I have -- and love -- all of Crescent Dragonwagon's cookbooks, including her first (The Commune Cookbook). However, this is probably my personal favorite, since I have made a great many of the recipes, and they have all been absolutely wonderful. The authors writing is also a great pleasure. Don't miss this one!
Fool proof, interesting, rich.......2000-07-08
This book is filled with simple, proven and easy to prepare recipes which are out of this world. Each recipe is preceded by an anecdote of how the dish was invented and each dish comes with many suggestions for modification. Modifications are based on what is fresh and available during different times of the year. Incredibly easy to follow, these recipes are rich and varied. "The Salad" recipe is one of the best salads you will ever eat and takes 5 minutes to prepare and will turn out the same everytime if you just follow the simple directions. One of my favorite things about this book are the stories which precede each recipe and the fact that the recipes always, always turn out just as delicious as she describes!
