What, no photos?!@
The inviting photo on the cover led me to believe this book had photos on the inside -- a stupid assumption on my part, but one of the perils of shopping for books on the Internet. A book of this scope should have had photos, and the fact that it didn't means the publisher, for one reason or another, took the cheap way out. No matter how good and encyclopedic the recipes, this is also something of a "lifestyle" book that ought to have had photos. Bummer.
Tasty recipes, not necessarily low fat...
I was surprised that this cookbook didn't get better reviews. We've had great luck with the recipes, and my 15-month old likes them all too. I would warn that they are not low fat, but many can be altered to be more healthy. It's one of my go-to cookbooks in the cold Chicago winters!
Could hardly wait to get this ... then I did
What a disappointment. I expected to have modern remakes of classic casseroles but these recipes have no regard for what we know to be healthy for us. I was able to rework several of the recipes to make them healthier without losing flavor. Another disappointment was the lack of photos/illustrations. I prefer a hardback, slick-paged, photo-laden cookbook with incredibly creative ways to serve healthy food that does not sacrifice flavor. One that engages all my senses. This one didn't come close but love that inviting title!
Finest-kind comfort food
With autumn days upon us and chilly winter not far behind, here's a cookbook filled with warmth. I've been cooking out of it for eight months or so and have found it to be a winner in the comfort-food department. Plus, lots of vegetable recipes. And, helpfully penny-pinching which is a plus in these budget-constrained times.
I confess to bemusement with regard to the less stellar reviews here. I'm a reasonably savvy, even seasoned, cook with a reasonably semi-sophisticated palate. Every meal I've prepared out of this book earned my happy approval; meanwhile, my husband (from the mid-west) was ecstatic.
Not for the culinary disinclined
I have been impressed with this book, although I have discovered thru trying, that a few of its recipes are based on culinary step processes (similar to Cook's Illustrated) requiring more time, patience, and techniques per recipe than say, a quick throw together casserole for kids. This book I would not recommend for the busy Mom! The casseroles I have made, turned out quite well and were delicious! A few adjustments of course, here and there, but otherwise satisfactory. If you have a culinarian background, and enjoy a good casserole that might be slightly on the gourmet side---then this book is for you! Being a culinarian myself, the techniques demonstrated for some of his more complicated dishes are more understandable to me than if I had not been a culinarian. Why? Because the Culinary Art itself is about making a tasty dish--yet at the same time, enhancing the ingredients within that dish (using various techniques) to bring the unique individual flavors out, in order to result in an end product that is simply delicious!
Even though his book is not endorsed with pictures, I do like the little histories and narratives at the beginning of each recipe.
