Great...as expected
As you would expect from Alton he doesn't just give you another cookbook it's more of a kitchen tool. There are loads of recipes but also great food science tips included with each recipe. Can't wait for the next one.

A Must For Everyone
Everyone should read this book. Vegan, vegetarian, omniovore, carnivore - everyone. If you eat, you should read this. I've read many books on the subject of factory farms, our health, and the food we eat. This one is by far the best. Foer didn't start out as an activist or even a vegetarian. He began researching this book because he was about to become a father and wanted to make the best and ...

Beyond Pleased!!
As a follower of The Pioneer Woman, I eagerly awaited the arrival of the cookbook that I purchased. I was not disappointed! I loved that she used her step by step pictorial instructions for the recipes as she does on her blog. I also loved the beautifully illustrated pages about her family life. Again, I am more than pleased with the book.

A Wonderful Resource for All Cooks
I knew I had to have this book after dining at the Ad Hoc restaurant in Yountville. My husband and I loved our meal there, and after reading reviews, we decided to take the plunge and buy this book. What a fabulous decision! I am not a skilled cook, and there are few things that I have made well. My parents are both amazing cooks, so I was hesitant to cook them dinner one night. I decided to ...

In Defense of Food
What the world needs to know about food! Don't take for grantedthat food found in the grocery store is good for you, our goverment seems to care more about industrial marketing and greed of human beings that the goodness God provided with "natural" whole food in its original state. It is time to spread the word, educate people and take back our health and lives and participate in this wonderful ...

Inspiring
This book is absolutely perfect for anyone who finds themselves cooking for one or two people. Not only are the recipes absolutely wonderful, the recipes for using left-overs are also great. Jones shows you how to shop, stock your pantry and freezer, and make wonderful meals for yourself that don't take forever yet taste like they did. I have over 50 cookbooks, and this is the one I find myself ...

Take one genuine, funny woman... add a slow cooker... simmer for one year and voila!
The story of the 'genesis' of this book is as brilliant as the book itself - a New Year resolution made in December 2007 to use the slow cooker every day of 2008 turned into a phenomenally successful blog and ultimately into this book. This story is remarkable, not only because it's tangible evidence of the only New Year resolution I've ever known to have lasted beyond January but because it's a ...
• Filet mignon (French for "dainty fillet") is a steak cut of beef taken from the tenderloin, or psoas major of the steer or heifer.
• Baby food is any food that is given specifically to infants, roughly between the ages of four months to two years. The food comes in multiple varieties and tastes, can be produced by many manufacturers, or may be table food that the rest of the family is eating, mashed up. A common trait of the many different baby foods is that they are designed for ease of eating; either a soft, liquidy paste or an easily chewed food. This is because infants lack teeth and experience in eating.
