3 comments about The New York Times Bread & Soup Cookbook.

1. I have had this book as my companion over the past decade and have few cookbooks as genuinely valuable in my collection. It is a treasure of wonderful instruction, education, history, and the all-around pleasures of making these most elemental of foods. The New York Times Bread and Soup Cookbook brings into my home the abiltiy to artfully present many forms of breads and a wonderful array of soups as mainstays of heartwarming family traditions, ethnic and regional explorations, and gourmet elements for entertaining specialties.



2. This soup cookbook was a pretty big disappointment to me, since I thought the New York Times moniker indicated one of the best. Lots of recipes, to be sure, but not nearly as helpful or useful in expanding my soup-cooking repertoir as, say, "Is It Soup Yet?".



3. This is a wonderful reference cookbook for breads and soups. The author begins with chapters on basic broth and stock recipes and basic bread and biscuit recipes. Then come chapters organized by ethnicity and culture, from New World recipes to Mediterranean to North European recipes, from Eastern European to Asian. The book closes with a chapter on fancy breads, restaurant soups, quick and easy soups, and health and diet soups.

   The book is great for suggesting creative ideas to use ordinary ingredients- -one of my favorite recipes that I learned from this book is a Mexican garlic tomato soup with oats. Tasty, but I never would have thought of doing that! The book is also a great reference when questions come up like "What's in buttermilk biscuits anyway?" "How can I make my own chicken stock?" This isn't a picture or coffee table cookbook- -it's for people who enjoy cooking from scratch with real ingredients.

1. First, there is a variety of healthy soups included. However, most of the soups include some ingredients that are not raw vegan... like steamed potatoes, milk or soy milk, chicken bouillon and more. If you're looking for raw recipes... this isn't a good choice. If you're interested in soup recipes that have more healthy enzymes than traditional soups... this may be a good choice for you.

1. Tasty food that is easy to prepare. Minimum of prep time, easy to follow instructions. I am getting another copy of this to give to my friend who can barely boil water. Even my husband (who had a hard time making mac and cheese) can cook with this book. A great book for someone with a minimum of time and effort that still wants home cooked meals.



2. I am very impressed with this book. The wide variety of recipes and types of food that you can make with boiling is fascinating. I never expected to be able to cook so much with just a pot (or two) and a stove top. Very few of the recipes require anything exotic so most of the ingredients are on hand when you are ready to whip up something good. The directions are clear and easy to follow. The meals are fairly easy to make and come out tasting great!

   If you are looking for a cookbook that has easy to make meals with a minimum of fuss, this is a good cookbook to consider. I'm not sorry it's on my shelves.
