1 comments about Wisconsin's Hometown Flavors: A Cook's Tour of Butcher Shops, Bakeries, Cheese Factories & Other Specialty Markets (Trails Books Guide).

1. Wisconsin cuisine reflects rich and diverse ethnic heritages and traditions. In Wisconsin's Hometown Flavors: A Cook's Tour Of Butcher Shops, Bakeries, Cheese Factories & Other Specialty Markets, Wisconsin-based cookbook writer and food expert Terese Allen takes the reader on a descriptive survey of more than 130 shops (arranged geographically); showcases more than 125 recipes; and provides "user friendly" maps to the best of Wisconsin's bakeries, cheese factories, butcher shops, and specialty markets. From Cheddar Cheese Coins; Greek-Style Omelette with Fresh Spinach, Black Olives & Feta Cheese; Lamb, Potato & Asparagus Stew; and Pear Frangipane Tart; to Mixed Greens with Grilled Pork Tenderloin & Blueberries; Swedish Limpa Bread; Dried Cherry Waldorf Salad; and Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake, Wisconsin's Hometown Flavors is as much fun to simply browse through as it is "kitchen cook friendly" to plan a meal from!

1 comments about A Cook's Tour of Iowa (Bur Oak Book).

1. Susan Puckett brings us along to the family dinners and the local celebrations in Iowa. The stories behind the recipes are what makes the book interesting. When you meet the people and families and then get the recipes that they talk about and prepare you see what makes the food important to them. As a former resident of Iowa, I found the memories of smells and tastes returning. The food is what I remembered.

3 comments about Amish-Country Cookbook, 2nd Edition (Volume 1) (Amish-Country Cookbooks (Evangel Numbered)).

1. This book is great, has many easy recipies with ingredients you have at your home. A+++



2. Not only is this cookbook filled with lots of simple and easy to make recipes, but the anecdotes and quotes that fill it are wonderful. My grandmother didn't put it down until she had read the entire book that night!



3. This is one of the best cookbooks around! The recipes are simple and very delicious. Most of the ingredients are probably already in your cupboard. The best thing about this cookbook is that it has a large variety of recipes to choose from. This book also includes unique, yet profound sayings which are filled with wisdom and laughter. Out of all the cookbooks I own, I love this one the best! It's the one I grab when I don't feel like going grocery shopping for a hundred small items that I will never use again. If you have to choose just one cookbook for your life...choose this one!

3 comments about The Cafe Brenda Cookbook: Seafood and Vegetarian Cuisine.

1. I spent a brief time working at Cafe Brenda, and I bought the cookbook while working there. I've worked my way through just about every recipe, and 90% of them were wonderful - the recipes are full of flavor, interesting, satisfying, and a great place to begin exploring a variety of international flavors. I particularly love the soup and dessert recipes. The almond cake with chocolate ganache makes a wonderful birthday cake, the maple pot de creme is a wonderful and easy way to end a dinner party with friends, and the variety of soup recipes make use of all the seasons with wonderful results. I do have to say that the fish recipes are generally a bit more creative than the vegetarian entrees, though I've made the vegetarian and vegan croquette recipes (Brenda's signature creations) many times and received enthusiastic feedback from my family and friends. I've given this book as a gift many times with a lot of good feedback. It's also a plus that not many people know about the book, so the recipes aren't dishes that are made over and over again by people who cook primarily vegetarian and have worn out the books by Deborah Madison and Molly Katzen, great though they may be. Hope you enjoy it.



2. I have been using this cookbook on a regular basis for over 3 years. The vegetarian entrees and hot soups are to die for. Some of them are rather elaborate, involving numerous sub-steps, but the results are well worth the effort. The authors have developed flavor combinations that work with a beautiful mix of color and texture. I've personnaly given this cookbook to all my best friends. If you don't mind a little work, you won't be disappointed.



3. In this fast-paced world of fast-food and pre-packaged convenience foods, Brenda Langton and Margaret Stuart show us recipes on how delicious healthy food is and how easy it is to prepare!
   
   Brenda Langton is the chef and owner to Cafe Brenda, one of Minneapolis's favorite restaurants and an innovator of gourmet vegetarian cuisine. She currently runs her restaurant and a natural foods business with her husband. Margaret Stuart is a pastry chef, natural foods expert, as well as a horticulturalist in the Twin Cities.
   
   Using whole foods and natural ingredients, this book is filled with delicious, nutritious recipes that have been adapted from international recipes to accomodate a more healthy lifestyle. This book has been marked as the "twenty-fifth anniversary edition". People who have not frequented the restaurant, Cafe Brenda, will not understand that this means that this is the 25th year that Cafe Brenda has been in business serving these exact recipes to her customers!
   
   There are no photographs in this book, yet the recipes are easy-to-read and understand.
   
   Chapters in this book include: Appetizers & Salads; Soups; Breads; Seafood & Fish Entrees; Vegetable Entrees; and Desserts. Some of the more delicious recipes in this book are: Japanese Soba Noodle Salad With Spicy Tahini-Ginger Dressing, Roasted Potato & Garlic Soup, Blueberry-Lemon Bread, Spiced Almond Tart and Basmati Rice, Red Bean & Vegetable with Roasted Onion-Miso Sauce.
   
   If you are looking for gourmet recipes that are healthier for you, then pick up this book. Brenda Langton and Margaret Stuart have released a classy book to enjoy.

2 comments about Cafe Wisconsin Cookbook.

1. The cooperative work of Midwest folklorist Joanne Raetz Stuttgen and food columnist and cookbook author Terese Allen, "Cafe Wisconsin Cookbook" is a compilation of the history, anecdotes and recipes associated with some of Wisconsin's very best small town cafes ranging from Boscobel to Glennwood City, and from Stoughton to Sturgeon Bay. The recipes are organized around the categories of Breakfast, Baked Goods, Soups, Salads, Daily Specials, Sandwiches and Burgers, Sid Dishes and Extras, Pies and Other Desserts. Now any family cook can duplicate Wisconsin's Main Street eateries with respect to menu items ranging from pies, meatloaf and fish fries, to casseroles, burgers, and blue plate specials. "Cafe Wisconsin Cookbook" is an enthusiastically recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library regional cookbook collections!



2. Many good recipes, now we know the secrets of the cafes. Sadly, some are no longer in business but fortunately live on in the book. The Snicker salad recipe is worth the price of the book.
