I saw this book in Powell's the other day and was taken by the concept that could learn to make two of my favorite foods -- potstickers and samosas -- with one cookbook.

After the dinner, I was given this beautiful book of recipes, pictures and living. This wonderful book of recipes and friendship is dedicated to creating, as the title, says "empty bottle moments" - meaning that everyone had a wonderful time, the food is consumed, and the bottle is empty. Clive tells his ...             Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms30 reviews Paul Stamets Ten Speed Press, 1993 Informative and Fun! I've just begun reading this book. I've read the first 3 chapters of the third edition. I am enjoying it because it is clearly written. The scientific information is well explained. The explanations are illustrated when appropriate.

I bought it after moving out on my own and realizing I needed to learn how to cook something more than pre-made sauces and hamburger helper. It is still one of the most used cookbooks on my shelf, and I own over thirty cookbooks. I needed to buy a new copy because the one I have is slowly falling apart from constant use. So my thanks go out to the ...             American Wholefoods Cuisine: Over 1300 Meatless, Wholesome Recipes from Short Order to Gourmet (Plume)41 reviews Nikki Goldbeck, David Goldbeck Plume, 1984 Buy this book!!!! This is a definite "go to" book in the kitchen. We fluctuate between Vegan and Vegetarian, and this book fits the bill. If you are strictly Vegan, the dairy and egg prodcts can be easily substituted. Recipes are simple, easy to prepare, and "whole". You can't go wrong with this book. To the reviewer who questioned why Amazon woud use that "one star" review as the most helpful critical review ...             The Cook's Book: Techniques and tips from the world's master chefs16 reviews DK ADULT, 2005 'The Cook's Book' by Jill Norman The Cook's Book I am throughly enjoying refering to, 'The Cook's Book' by Jill Norman.

Best for seafood. This may be Ripert's return to the kitchen (ie., this is arguably not "restaurant" food), but it's still demanding of money, time, and skill (probably in that order). I say money and time first because he uses top-notch and/or esoteric ingredients, which will require some investment and shopping (eg: live pibales: I never heard of them anywhere else before or since. Even the book says they are ...             Glamour's Gourmet on the Run14 reviews Jane Kirby Villard, 1987 Hedonism in the kitchen... The book is divided into three sections: 1.) Thirty-minute meal plans. There are 62 of them, and they range from fancy - "Romantic dinner for two" with lamb chops, herb sauteed potatoes, and zucchini - to casual - like the Super-Bowl-friendly "mini meal" with Buffalo wings, celery fans, and homemade blue cheese dressing. 2.) Complete party menus. For easy entertaining, there are 10 ...             Private Cuisine: An Executive Chef's Secrets to Gourmet Cooking Made Easy16 reviews David Daniluk David Daniluk, 1999 Private Cuisine: An Executive Chef's Secrets to Gourmet Cook This book is excellent!

Thank you, Bette!             Cafe Flora Cookbook15 reviews Catherine Geier, Carol Brown HP Trade, 2005 Outstanding Book We have had the opportunity to dine at the Cafe Flora on a recent trip to Seattle. As vegetarians, we find it difficult at times to find restaurants that serve outstanding vegetarian/vegan meals. We were certainly impressed with Cafe Flora and were delighted to find their cookbook online. Since receiving the book, I have prepared a number of the dishes and they have turned out very well. It is ...             Japanese Hot Pots: Comforting One-Pot Meals15 reviews Tadashi Ono, Harris Salat Ten Speed Press, 2009 Busy mom of three loves this cook book! I recently bought this cook book and my three kids and I have been having a lot of fun exploring the recipes! At first I was a little scared that we wouldn't have access to the Japanese ingredients needed for some of the recipes but quickly discovered that the authors suggest alternatives for each and every item that may be hard to find in your neck of the woods. (i.e. A small Japanese onion can ...             Alfred Portale's Gotham Bar and Grill Cookbook12 reviews Alfred Portale Broadway, 1997 Amazing!! I have been a amateur cook for approximately 4 years and only fantasized about making dishes like the ones in this book. I found all of these recipes very easy to follow and the methods are not confusing. Preparing these kinds of elaborate dishes(seafood salad, soft shell crabs, bouillabaisse, and stocks, etc.)has always intimidated me and I never took the initiative to try. I am so glad I ...             The Uncommon Gourmet14 reviews Ellen Helman Ten Speed Press, 1993 Fabulous cookbook with loads of easy to make, elegant dishes I love to cook and own many classic cookbooks, but there is none that I use more frequently than this one. The recipes are uncomplicated, yet delicious, and are suitable for both entertaining and every day meals. Unfortunately, after several years of continuous use, my book is falling apart! I hope the publisher reprints it soon, so that I can purchase a couple of spare copies!             Marshmallows: Homemade Gourmet Treats14 reviews Eileen Talanian Gibbs Smith, 2008 Marshmallows for the win! This book is well written with clear instructions and makes fantastic marshmallows which aren't at ALL like what you buy in the store. These are softer, have more flavor, and most surprisingly, are less sweet. You start out by making a "base" out of sugar, water, and cream of tarter. This isn't hard, but it can be a mess. Make sure you take it off the heat a few degrees below 240 because it ...              search for books american, cholesterol, comforting, cookbook, culinaria, culinary, delicious, dumplings, executive, gastronomic, gluten-free, gourmets, growing, homemade, japanese, literary, marshmallows, mastering, meatless, medicinal, mushrooms, photographic, practical, secrets, stalking, techniques, uncommon, wholefoods, wholesome, without books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
