The Best Recipes and Kitchen Wisdom for Delicious - Healthy Family Meals
The Best Recipes and Kitchen Wisdom for Delicious - Healthy Family Meals

Review:A very happy cookbook with a family focus. The chances that we will marry into the Pollan family or be invited over for dinner are small; so this is the next best thing.

I recommend the Pollan signature salad that includes mesclun, walnuts, pear, and a mustard, raspberry vinegar, olive oil, balsamic vinegar dressing (it is made by each of the sisters, their mother and brother; and it is requested by their friends and family for potlucks); the golden baby artichokes with lemon zest; their...

Culinary Artistry
Culinary Artistry

Review:It's very difficult to read considering they have typos like crazy. They reference Italian fish by the wrong name, so you're really getting a lot of misinformation. Overall, the title is misleading. It's more a series of small interviews and insights into some professional chefs, with a general theme that runs throughout the pages that "less is more." There are a few ideas on how some of the chefs construct their menus, and ingredients that go together. Read more

The Art and Science of the Perfect Cocktail - Liquid Intelligence

Review:It's a fascinating and immensely helpful book for those who want to make not just good cocktails but great cocktails. Even if you only care about an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan, Dave's pages (yes pages) on these two are amazingly useful. Sure, you can just use the pages of recipes and formula tables to make your drinks but really this is a book for those who want to know a bit more about what makes a good drink. Dave tackles everything from the basic classics that require nothing but booze, ice... Read more
