Joseph Albahari, Ben Albahari

O'Reilly Media, 2007

Clear, concise, and thorough
C# 3.0 in a Nutshell is just about perfect. It describes the language and the relevant .NET libraries in a clear, concise way, with meaningful examples and a much appreciated lack of author interference. C# is the star of this show, and the authors stay out of its way. This book has one purpose - to document C# 3.0. No more, no less. So, don't come into this book looking for clever anecdotes ...

BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT
I've never written a review of any book I've purchased....but this time I just had to write in. This is a Fantastic Cookbook. I was watching "FitTV" one day and during a commercial break, "Just Cook This" was advertised with this 'entertaining character', Sam. So I decided to watch the show. I was immediately addicted. Sam cooks exactly the way my husband and I want to cook. We were both so ...

Pocket Chef: Soups (Pocket Chef)

Cooks Illustrated, 2005

The canonical source for REAL cooking
I'm a fair cook, of the country meat and potatoes and apple pie variety. Well, include Italian dishes in that. And Tex-Mex. And catfish, and a few other things. I was a charter subscriber nearly thirty years ago to Cook's Illustrated and there's seldom an issue goes by that I don't find one of two things I immediately want to fix. And I always enjoy the methodological and sidebar discussions even ...

Running Press, 1995

Best of the Best and the Original Freezer Cooking Cookbook
Note: If you order the newest Make-A-Mix cookbook, the one with the yellow cover, realize it seems to be the same book listed with the tan cover. If you already own the book with the tan cover then you will probably not need a new book unless you would like a back-up copy. This cookbook is the grand daddy of all the freezer cookbooks and mix cookbooks now available. The cookbook gives ...

Rick Villani, Clay Davis

McGraw-Hill, 2006

A Truly Effective Model
This book is a rarity in that it offers any level of investor a proven model and system to use that will work! It isn't a "look at me and see how special I am, book," as most of these are. It is a tried and true method to purchase a home for investment, to have a system in place to fix, repair or improve it, then re-sell it for profit. Rick Villani is a craftsman. He enjoys the work, and it ...

I keep it right on top of my desk. It has saved my butt, and settled inter-office arguments on numerous occasions. I love to be able to look it up in seconds and say here's the answer and quote the rules right in front of my bosses. Makes me look good.;)

IMPRESS FOR LESS is all that and more! A must have for having a wonderful dinner, lunch or even breakfast with family and friends.

Jim Romanoff, The Test Kitchen of EatingWell Magazine

Countryman, 2006

Finally!!
FINALLY a decent "healthy cooking" cookbook for a two person household!! I haven't yet tried the recipes in this book (but I'm making a list.) I have "The Eating Well Diet" and "The Essential Eating Well" cookbooks. I also subscribe to the magazine. So far, the recipes have all worked. I HIGHLY recommend any of these cookbooks as well as the magazine. I purchased my sister a gift subscription to ...

Bob Sloan

Workman Publishing Company, 2007

GREAT, event for a more experienced cook!
I've owned this book for more than 10 years. When I first got it, it was perfect for my VERY limited cooking skills. Now, I'm a much more confident cook, and I've got a huge library of great cookbooks. However, whenever I need basic information (how long to boil or steam a vegetable, what temperature to use for baking different fishes, how to make a good rice pilaf), I reach for this book and ...

Robert Bruce Thompson, Barbara Fritchman Thompson

O'Reilly Media, 2000

Power to the People!
Let me start out with a huge thanks to O'Reilly. I'm not a big fan of large corporations or publishers - but I have come to trust O'Reilly implicitly wherever technical issues are concerned. Although I'm certain that they are not the "perfect" publisher, nor in the business for wholly (ha!) altruistic reasons, I AM amazed by the remarkable originality, diversity, range, quality, accuracy, and ...

No more McChickens for me!
This book has changed my life in ways you can't imagine. My diet used to consist of McChickens and McDoubles, but those days are over. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, this book will make you a winner. LOL! That rhymed. Take it from a college junior, you can stop eating that crap and throwing your money down the drain. I've recommend this book to all my buddies and I haven't heard any complaints. You ...

Clueless in the Kitchen: A Cookbook for Teens and other Beginners (The Clueless series)

Evelyn Raab

Firefly Books, 1998

Don't let the title fool you
This book may say "for teens", and when I read "teens", I thought, cinnamon toast and french bread pizzas. These are all full-fledged meals, "made from scratch" recipes that ANYBODY can do. I find this cookbook very informative and easy to understand; you WILL use this book!
