This book is great when you want to make food for just two people.  A couple starting out or a couple with the kids gone, or even a couple of roommates and the food is delicious!!

I love going to the Farmer's Market. Fresh Delicious is a good book to stir the imagination but also includes child friendly recipes. A visit to the Farmers Market is full of exploration and the fun doesn't end there, instead it's the beginning. Come home with the booty to make delicious healthful snacks too!

This is one of my favorite cookbooks.  I live an hour from the nearest McDonald's and can't just drive to a chain restaurant.  This cookbook  assuages my cravings for good chain restaurant food.
The recipes are  great when you're craving restaurant food.  The recipes for food I haven't  tried at the restaurants (Hooters, TGI Friday's, Cheesecake Factory) are  great.  The recipes for food I had years ago (Bob's Big Boy) are great.
The recipes are pretty simple.  Even when they don't taste exactly like  original restaurant version, they're still pretty good.

half a bar does great when I'm hungry and don't have time for lunch.  Chew it well and drink a beverage and you're good to go!  Keeps me from munching on junk.

Love it.

This book will make you hungry. It will make you want to get together with your girlfriends to chat and just enjoy each others company. It will also make you dream of fancy dinners on a balcony with a fantastic view of a sunset that seems to have come out from a painting.

Carla Laureano graciously dwelled into sensitive subjects and gently brought into topics currently trending that, as much as they promise justice, in my opinion, are actually drawing a dangerous line between "them and us". The author discreetly dwelled into this (it may not even have been her intention, but it made me think about this), without naming anything, but just challenging the pillars of life we stand upon about What is it mean to be equal? does finding for space in an easy-to-discriminate-world always means choosing opposite sides or is there a balanced partnership to be found?

Rachel Bishop is a talented award-winning cook. She's all in when it comes to her job. It takes up her full life and she's fine living this way. She has found safety in the kitchen since it once sheltered her during a difficult time in her life, and since then she has never looked back, only kept going, kept fighting to grow as a chef. So she has a sense of security in her work that makes her capable of ignoring coarse opinions and confident enough to not have to advertise her personal image too much to attract clients. She knows the quality of her food will keep people coming.

But this supposedly discreet side of her hides an insecurity so deep she might not even be aware of how much it has been keeping her from truly living. Until one day she loses everything and has to rebuild her career, her reputation, and her influence. What she doesn't expect is that the perfect person to help her do so is talented writer Alex Kanin, whose essay actually got her in trouble in the first place.

Their relationship built slowly but surely. It was endearing and sweet. But, as much as Rachel saw her walls coming down whenever she was around Alex, she still questioned when disappointment would come and she would wake up from this wonderful dream. Still, once you get to truly know yourself and feel a sense of peaceful rightness, she might just see where success authentically stands on, and discover that fallbacks and failure can be dealt with so much grace and hope to allow you to dream again.

This is amazing Indian food that you can make at home without having to go out, the tandoori is awesome and I also suggest the butter chicken.

If you have ever dined at Beverly's Specialty Food, Beverly's or Beverly's Eatery (in Ballston Spa) you must purchase this book!! You will drool just reading the recipes.
The story is entertaining in the beginning of the book.
Enjoyed looking at the pictures too!

You want to eat like you're living in New York in the 60's? Get this book. It's just fun to read all the different occasions and courses people used to think were necessary. There's plenty of beef in this book, too.

Lots of restaurant recipes to choose from I found so many to try from restaurants that I have not been in or even heard of but I am wanting to try.

My wife and I had lunch at Lasalette last weekend, and grabbed the cookbook because the food was so awesome.  I'm a cookbook collector, and have gotten pickier as the shelves have bulged.  Wow on both lunch and the book  The food is amazing, and the cb is gorgeous.  Get the book, and if you find yourself in Sonoma, go there for any meal.

Really enjoyed reading this... partly because I spent a week in that area of Tennerife.  Give you a new appreciation for the amount of work involved in running a restaurant.  Also makes me a little leery about how my food is being prepared!
