Very well written, simple to follow. I've only had a chance to try a couple so far, but with great success. Black and Orange Halloween Party for 24 was simple enough to do, and an instant hit. The Chocolate Chili with Beef, Pork, and Black Beans was to die for. I can't wait to try other dishes from this book. Highly recommend this cookbook.             Cooking Basics for Dummies (For Dummies (Cooking))19 reviews Alison Yates, Bryan Miller For Dummies, 2004 Great basic reference book This book is exactly what it claims to be, a basic reference book for an inexperienced cook.

Typically the word "Comfort Food" strikes up the notion of large amounts of fat, not in this cookbook. While you can find hints of luxurious fattening recipes scattered throughout her cookbook-- it is for all the right reasons. These recipes ...             Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone185 reviews Deborah Madison Broadway, 2007 Delicous and nutritious! This book is always out...everything I've made has been delicious and it has so many different recipes for non-meat foods. As a non-veg, I generally substitute chicken stock for vegetable stock and use the tofu marinades for chicken or fish. This book is a great inspiration for diversifying our meals. I recommend it to everyone I know!             Gluten-Free Cooking For Dummies (For Dummies (Cooking))1 review Danna Korn, Connie Sarros For Dummies, 2008 Don't be fooled by title - much more than just cooking tips I was pleasantly surprised that the book goes far beyond gluten-free cooking tips and recipes. I have read Korn's other 3 books, and all have been tremendously helpful, and even inspiring. The gluten-free diet can be a shocker (give up your beer, your bread, your tasty baked treats, etc.), but the author somehow makes it easy to understand the nuances of this tricky diet. You feel like you are ...             Chinese Cooking for Dummies10 reviews Martin Yan For Dummies, 2000 Great for first-timers, only wish there were more pictures Four main things to comment on: 1) You definitely feel Martin Yan's personality in these pages. Great broad yet brief background on regional influences on Chinese cooking. 2) Equally good broad yet brief explanation of basic ingredients and also the prep and cooking techniques. 3) Recipes are pretty easy and you are welcome to buy most of the basic sauces rather than make them from scratch. 4) ...             Healthy Cooking for Two (or Just You): Low-Fat Recipes with Half the Fuss and Double the Taste64 reviews Frances Price Rodale Books, 1997 Best cookbook I own! I bought this cookbook several years ago based on someone's recommendation, and consider it one of my best purchases ever. The recipes are simple to prepare, delicious and healthy. I have not been disappointed in a single recipe. I was a little turned off at first because there were no photos of the prepared foods, but after months and months of use, I can honestly say that I use this cookbook ...             Cooking For Crowds For Dummies (For Dummies (Cooking))4 reviews Dawn Simmons, Curt Simmons For Dummies, 2005 Great and Easy Good recipes, easy for anyone to follow.

The ideas presented were fun and easy. I hadn't used tin foil on the campfire before, and the author gave some good ideas for that as well as items to be cooked on a stick. For example, I loved the idea about melting chocolate and bananas in the banana peel wrapped in tin foil. One reviewer commented about the use of ...             The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cooking--for Guys (Complete Idiot's Guide to)5 reviews Tod Dimmick Alpha, 2004 Kitchen Secrets for Guys I have two recipes for making waffles, my own and Tod Dimmick's recipe. Guess which my husband prefers? Yes, he says he likes the texture of the waffles in this cookbook. I like my waffles very crispy and I found that you can make the waffles that way by cooking them a bit longer or by putting them in the toaster. Tod Dimmick used to avoid the kitchen, but he is currently turning out ...             Cooking for Two: 120 Recipes for Every Day and Those Special Nights22 reviews Bruce Weinstein, Mark Scarbrough William Morrow Cookbooks, 2004 Great addition to my cookbook library! I bought this book for me and my boyfriend to use... and we do so religously. We make a recipe from this book about once per week and are always delighted with the results. The recipes are easy to follow and if ingredients are difficult to find in your local grocery, substitute ingredient suggestions are made. We now have a few favorites we have added to our repertoire! I also purchased a copy ...             Going Solo in the Kitchen24 reviews Jane Doerfer Knopf, 1998 Thank you!! All of the positive reviews are exactly right.

Morningstar prooves this myth wrong. Her recipes are familiar and are coupled with a wealth of interesting and useful information. I'm glad I have this book on my shelf.             Cooking for David: A Culinary Dialysis Cookbook12 reviews Sara Colman, Dorothy Gordon Culinary Kidney Cooks, 2000 Panicked? GET THIS BOOK! With my husband's diagnosis of renal failure, dialysis, and future transplant also came the nastiest diet restrictions imaginable. I was losing my mind trying to keep track of sodium, phosphorous, potassium, carbs, and protein while cooking for him - until I got this book. I've been carryiing it around with me constantly since I got it a few weeks ago. It does a much better job of explaining the ...             Once-a-Month Cooking, Revised and Expanded: A Proven System for Spending Less Time in the Kitchen and ...18 reviews Mary-Beth Lagerborg, Mimi Wilson St. Martin's Griffin, 2007 LOVE IT The first plan I tried was one month plan D. I was concerned about portion sizes and flavor of the recipes. We are alomost finished with the first month's food. Everything was delicious, you never know with recipes, there were some dishes that I made notes to (add more chicken, needs more gravy) but other than that, they were all great dishes. We have a family of 6 and some of the meals are ...             Cooking for Two: Efficient and Delicious Meals Shady Oak Press, 2008 Forget trying to adapt standard recipes to smaller portions, these 100+ dishes were designed expressly for intimate servings for two. Divided seasonally, the tempting suggestions include easy, everyday summer fare such as warm chicken salad with fresh peaches, cornmeal-crusted scallops with corn relish, and orange gingerbread with citrus cream.

I once attended a massage therapy school in a city with three competing schools, and I was continually amazed at how limited the competing graduates from the other schools were in basic anatomy, assessment, and palpation skills compared to what I learned. On the other hand, those graduates were way ahead in actual "salon/day spa" ...              search for books acitvities, ayurvedic, comfort, complete, cookbook, culinary, delicious, dialysis, dummies, efficient, enjoying, entertaining, everyone, expanded, gardens, gluten-free, healthy, homemade, kitchen, low-fat, once-a-month, real-world, revised, satisfying, special, spending, strategies, vegetarian, westerners, wonderful books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
