I absolutely love this cookbook!!!  I had a copy that I found at a rummage sale 30 years ago and it was my "go to" for easy recipes that my family and friends thought I'd spent all day cooking. I made the mistake of loaning it to someone and it was never returned.  I searched for 10 years before I found it on Amazon and I was so excited I ordered it right away.  It was sold through an Amazon approved "seller" and was received from London in just 1- 1/2 weeks.  At first there was some translation problems with the ingredients because it was published in the UK, but once I figured those out it was smooth sailing.
If you enjoy cooking, this book will give you some new things to experiment with.  If you don't enjoy cooking but are stuck having to come up with something different and special, you'll find it here with clear instructions and a picture of what it should look like when you're done.  I highly recommend Tess Mallos' book.

I absolutely love this cookbook!  I went from rarely cooking to wanting to cook every single day after following Laura Lea on instagram.  This cookbook is filled with great recipes, and nothing seems too crazy or un-acheivable. Also, it was so beautifully put together...the photos are gorgeous and I love how it is organized. Because every recipe is so good, I have tried so many new foods that I never had tried before.  Everyone should have a copy of this cookbook!

I've been using Brittany's recipes from her blog for quite some time, so I've been looking forward to buying this cookbook. It was worth the wait! I've had a chance to make several of the recipes, and they're all delicious. From breakfast breads to calzones, these breads help me to stay "on plan" when I want the occasional treat meal.

The recipes are very creative, and her photography is beautiful! Give it a try!

Every recipe that I have used in this cookbook without exception has been wonderful!  I especially like the Old-World Rasberry Bars.  The cookbook is worth the price just for the beautiful pictures that appear every time you turn the page.  The pictures of mouthwatering deserts, entrees, vegetables, etc give the reader an idea of what the finished product will look like.  I showed my copy to my mom the other day and now she wants a copy of the cookbook.  I would recommend this cookbook to the novice as well as the experienced cook.

I absolutely love this cookbook! It has tons of great recipes with normal ingredients that most people actually keep on hand. Plus the recipes are pretty easy and quick to prepare which is great for my active lifestyle when I don't have hours and hours to spend everyday cooking. Also, I love that this book has lots of photos of the foods. For me, that is a big thing in a cookbook when I see a photo and it looks amazing, if course it makes me want to cook it more then just seeing the ingredients. I bought 3 vegan cookbooks so far and this one is by far my favorite so I highly recommend it to anyone even if you aren't vegan!

I've loved all the recipes I've tried so far! There are photos of every dish, which I find really appealing, and the recipes generally don't call for 'weird' ingredients (by that I mean engineered meat and dairy replacements), which is wonderful, because I live in France and don't have access to things I've found in other cookbooks like Chick'n and vegan cheese (what are these things??). Instead, she uses real ingredients, easily recognized as 'food', with very few exceptions. Shortly after buying this book for myself, I ordered another one for a good friend, because we were enjoying it so much!

I received this as a gift for Christmas. An all around excellent cookbook! So far I've made quite a few from this cookbook including Cola Braised Pot Roast, Posole, Mojo Pork and Black Bean Stew, Beef and Barley Soup with Basil Pesto, Chicken Cavatappi, and Chorizo and Potato Quesadillas with Cilantro Crema. Everything has been delicious! The directions are very thorough and I appreciate that. This is definitely not diet food, but great family meals that may require a little preparation depending on the recipe. Most of them make leftovers that can be frozen, so the preparation is worth it. Thank you Emeril for writing a GREAT cookbook for us home cooks!

BEST COOKBOOK THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED!  Such a variety of recipes and the humor throughout the book definitely did not disappoint!  Any person who loves to cook or Action Bronson fans - this is a MUST BUY!

Absolutely amazing cookbook.  I love it so much, I use it 4-5 times a week.  The recipes are surprisingly quick, yet the dishes are complex, wholesome and restaurant-worthy.  My husband loves it as well.  I was shocked to find a cookbook that combines simplicity, health, practicality and incredible taste!  I hope they put out a version 2!

I purchased the kindle version of this wonderful cookbook.  At first I thought it would be a hassle finding recipes easily, like one would do in a printed version.  But...that was not the case.  It's so easy to highlight or make notes to navigate to the table of contents or a specific recipe.  Melissa's recipes are absolutely delicious - I haven't found a "dud" yet!  Anyone wanting to go grain and sugar free and live healthier will find a wealth of recipes that are just plain good old home cooking!

We received this book and are very impressed and excited to try out the recipes!  The author (Joe) provides all of the details but in a manner in which a beginner cook like me can understand and translate to the cutting board, stove top and oven.  His easy to follow layout, unpretentious step by step instructions, and cool side notes remove the intimidation out of cooking everything from scratch!  My wife and I are already planning to make the Sriracha for a BBQ in a couple of weeks!

And then after youve completed cooking your meal, retire this book to the living room for after dinner as it will make an awesome table book for your guests to look through.  They will be in awe with what Joe creates from scratch!  Not only that, but he incorporates the perfect amount of humor and fun, mouth-watering photography, and his ideas are unique in the world of cooking things that I have never seen in any other book or cooking show!  Not to mention that everything seems much healthier this way  all natural.  A true bargain at $20!

This is the best cookbook I've ever read or owned!  The recipes are straightforward and delicious - with few hard-to-find ingredients or very labor-intensive processes.  And while I've tried and enjoyed several of the recipes Rabbi Gil Marks includes, every time I open the book, I feel I am learning more about the ways ethnic cuisines morph as they are carried from one region or culture into another, and hugely fascinating background information about Jewish diaspora history as well.

I am in love with this cookbook and the stained pages make it obvious!  The recipes are all delicious and Sarah has made me realize how under-spiced my food has always been!  Nothing takes very long to prepare or cook.  The ingredients are not always easy to find and the small local grocery stores in our area, but at a large grocery store I've been able to find everything I need.

One of the best cookbooks I've gotten my hands on. Its amazing how the author captures many of the flavors of the most populous continent in one book. I can vouch for the authenticity of recipes in different Sections of this Cookbook. Tom Holden's advice for substituting hard-to-find ingredients is extremely useful, as are the explanations of foods in the glossary. I highly recommend Tom Holden's book to anyone wishing to expand their cooking repertoire.

These recipes are very straightforward, uncomplicated and deliver big time on flavor and satisfaction.

This book is so much more than just a collection of recipes. The amazing forward by Michael Chabon, the beautiful photography and a look into the soul of a chef who puts all of herself into each and every dish she cooks results in a great read that will have a permanent place in your kitchen.
I also enjoyed reading the slices of West Oakland life that are incorporated throughout the book. You get a true sense of place and time that is woven throughout the food, and Tanya Holland's descriptions, voice, and stories make you feel like you are cooking with and old friend. I've cooked my way through this book and each and every recipe turned out beyond my expectations. She makes me feel like I'm a better cook than I actually am - and my family (including the kids) can't get enough of this food!  Thank you Tanya!
