Foodies Ultimate Reference
I work in the restuarant business and this book is a highly recommended source for all things food related. Our executive chef recommends it for crossing the chasm between culinary institutional talk and layman's terms that you can share with your customers.

The Ultimate Guide to Pitcher Drinks: Cool Cocktails for a Crowd

Villard, 2003

This book seriously rocks!
Maybe "Dracula Fan" needed some more blood in his bloody mary-something to nourish his rather small brain. Okay, I'm sorry to get personal, but his (or her) review just doesn't track. This book seriously rocks! I've made most of the drinks in it over the past year . . . they're not only super EASY, but FUN and DELICIOUS! And as for the "no pictures" remark, well most of us haven't needed ...

Ignore the naysayers
I don't understand the negativity. The other review reads more like something you'd hear from a jealous competing writer or publisher rather than a reader--which makes me very suspicious of his/her motives. I, on the other hand, found The Cheese Lover's Companion to be factual, thorough, and written in a very engaging manner. I know cheese (but am always eager to learn more), and I feel the ...

Everything I wanted to know and more
Well, this book is certainly a winner. I LOVE to cook and know a lot about the subject, but a friend gave this to me for my birthday and I can't stop reading it. It's the little things that count for me, like information on pan substitutions (different sizes that will work for a pan you don't have) and temperature and measurement charts, and a pasta glossary. And I love the fabulous tips on ...

The Ultimate Liquor-Free Drink Guide: More Than 325 Drinks With No Buzz, but Plenty of Pizzazz

What Fun!
What, a drink book without booze? Couldn't be interesting, I thought to myself. But I tracked it down 'cause I saw an outstanding review of it in USA Today. And just flipping through it makes my mouth water. Not the same ol', same ol' stuff here. Lots of tantalizing drinks in 12 different chapters, including mocktails (fake cocktails--I tried the Cosmopolitan and it is great!), tea drinks, ...

Broadway, 1997

Amusing compilation of food-related quotes
"Never Eat More Than You Can Lift" is a goulash, a mix of this and that and a lot of other things. It's a quote book and the source for Twain's swipe at American cookery. It's also a cookbook with recipes for chutney ham rolls, baked caramel apples and garlic grilled okra. It's an advice book with hints for making custard, peeling cucumbers and telling the difference among English, ...

Take It From A Pro
Well, I'm a professional bartender and was getting ready to order some more of "Ultimate A-to-Z Bar Guides" for some of my bartender friends when I noticed the "pulpfoto" review and just felt I had to respond. I disagree with everything he said, and wonder if we have different books! First of all, I haven't looked for a classic recipe I couldn't find in this book. And what's with the ...

Everything I hoped for from the Oxford Companion, but in an easy to use format.
This book was my favorite dealing with wine. It contains much of the same info as the Oxford Companion, but you can hold it in your hands and carry it about. It contains very useful information if you are learning about wine. Also has a great pronunciation guide for wine terms.

A Cook's Best Friend
I found this book in the bookstore and thought it would help me with a new job as a cook. Well, it did more then that because it discribes nearly every type of term you could come up with when you cook. I like how it discribes a particular food item and it's best usage. For example apple: Which are better for baking, eating, and cooking. There are charts for every conversion possible ...

Delicious and Informative
Loved this book--loads of informative facts and tips--clear, concise and interesting recipes for meats, potatoes, and the combination of the two. I've tried 12 of the 50+ recipes and all of them worked and all of them were delicious (the Smoky Spiced Brisket & Apples is outstanding!) If you love to cook and want some interesting ideas, this one's for you.

A real Joy
Sharon Tyler Herbst's Joy of Cookies has just about everything that I look for in a cookbook. The introduction gives a brief history of the cookie and then a detailed description of cookie baking basics, equipment, ingredients, techniques, all accompanied by simple yet clear line drawings. The recipe section itself is organized according to cookie type: bar cookies, drop cookies, etc. The ...

This book helped to validate everything my grandmother said!
After completing my most recent cookbook, I ran across this excellent resource. While I consider myself to work mostly on instinct in the kitchen, it is fun to read that you were right all along. Yes, as my grandmother taught me - potatoes are easier to peel when hot. She always made me boil them in their jackets when making potato salad. I had also wondered why lentils sometimes ...

Comprehensive yet compact. Great wine resource for the $
I work part-time in the wine industry and found this book to be a wonderfully comprehensive, concise resource on wine growing, making and drinking. (There's a great companion book by the same authors on food.) The sample pages show the depth of the definitions. The book is not nearly as detailed as Jancis Robinson's The Oxford Companion to Wine--which all serious wine industry people should have ...
