[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-08 Summary: Great cookbook, fun read, wonderful music recommendations! ... I am a Southerner and usually eat vegan at home so this cookbook has turned into one of my favorites. The collard greens are the tastiest I've ever had and can please even a picky eater of greens. The author lists his top ten favorite recipes from the book up front and those are the ones I've started with (grits with tempeh, arugala with roasted beets). They have all been wonderful and not too difficult to prepare. Another unique aspect of this cookbook is that each recipe comes with a intro, a recommended soundtrack, ...more

Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The mere mention of soul food brings thoughts of greasy fare and clogged arteries. Bryant Terry offers recipes that leave out heavy salt and refined sugar, “bad” fats, and unhealthy cooking techniques, and leave in the down-home flavor. Vegan Soul Kitchen recipes use fresh, whole, high-quality, healthy ingredients and cooking methods with a focus on local, seasonal, sustainably raised food.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-27 Summary: Eye Opening Voice of Unfiltered Reason ... Great book to get on audio. Chef Anthony Bourdain does well telling his own story, and through him insight into the cooking world. If you're fan of cooking shows (Bravo, the Food Channel, Fox) or interested in learning about what it takes to be a chef, this book offers one professional's insight into that world. His stories entertain, shock, and illuminate how difficult and complex being a line cook, much less a head chef.

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-15 Summary: food for thought ... I am for sure late to the anthony bourdain party. Have watched his tv series off and on for years, never realizing that he was also an author. Pleasantly surprised, but not, all at the same time. He has his same sense of humor come through in is writing, and it is like he is narrating the book to you. As a relative newbie to cooking and to the foodie world, some terms were over my head, but it just inspires me to learn more. ...more

[2] ... Review | Most diners believe that their sublime sliver of seared foie gras, topped with an ethereal buckwheat blini and a drizzle of piquant huckleberry sauce, was created by a culinary artist of the highest order, a sensitive, highly refined executive chef. The truth is more brutal. More likely, writes Anthony Bourdain in Kitchen Confidential , that elegant three-star concoction is the collaborative effort of a team of "wacked-out moral degenerates, dope fiends, refugees, a thuggish assortment of drunks, sneak...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-01 Summary: a compelling, moving and unforgettable novel ... I loved this book. What a rare and rich story! Lavinia, a seven-year-old Irish orphaned girl (with a past so traumatic she is unable for sometime to call it to memory) is placed as an indentured servant with black slaves in the kitchen house of a plantation around 1800. They become her parents, her family; she is wholly devoted to them. But she cannot be one of them truly for she is white and her destiny will move her into other circles.

The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-28 Summary: Incomplete but still very good! ... As others have pointed out, this book could be titled The Incomplete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook, as all recipes from the show are definitely not included as advertised. And the tight binding of the volume itself, though it seems to be of high quality, sometimes makes the book difficult to use when actually cooking. Regardless, after a few months of use, this cookbook has been earning an increasingly prominent place in my collection. While many of the recipes could be simplified for home use, the explanations ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-18 Summary: The best and most trusted cookbook I own. ... I love this cookbook, and refer to its recipes more frequently than any other cookbook I've owned. I agree with the other reviewers who say that the index could be improved, and concede that they may have missed a few recipes. That said, it is still extremely useful for the home cook. I find that America's Test Kitchen frequently comes up with alternative, non-obvious modifications to traditional recipes that makes them easier to prepare, and the the resulting food tastier and more consistent each time. ...more

The recipes are written in paragraph form instead of the standard form and somehow this makes recipes way easier.

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-13 Summary: GREAT cookbook, not for beginners ... Prominently displayed in "new books" at my local library. Checked it out, read through it, made a couple recipes. There are many interesting recipes for quick dinners. I'm comfortable with the chatty recipes, none of which has any explicit measures. If you're learning to cook, this isn't the cookbook for you. If you're comfortable in the kitchen, this is a great cookbook with many interesting sounding recipes. It's in my cart right now. I'll probably give it as a present to at least one of my cook friends. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-28 Summary: Inspirational ... I'm a self-professed decorating book junkie, however, if they don't deliver the goods, back they go. This one delivers. It's thoughtfully organized, full of quality pictures, and not overly verbose. (A plus for those of us who really just want to look at the pictures!)

As a "seasoned" cook, I've been down most of the cooking routes: from the French classics, to one-hour gourmet, to complex vegetarian, to severe, healthy cooking by the docs. Now, I lean to this cookbook's style: simple, tasty, fresh and light -- somewhere between poached quenelles and fried tofu. This is a good grouping of contemporary recipes with zip, often with international flair (oriental, Mexican, etc.). Some recipes are updated twists on old faves like Tuna Melt but with artichokes; BLT salad using mayo-smeared ...more
