Customer Review:
I know I would have enjoyed this book(s) if I had ever gotten them. 1 look books never sent me anything: not my books, not an answer to my e-mails(plural), but of course they billed my credit card the day I sent the order. That was 24 Nov. and it is now Dec.27, 2008. My review: I truely liked the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book
from Workman Publishing Company
Price: $9.95
Customer Review:
I was really looking forward to this book based on the reputation of Ben and Jerry's Ice Creams. I was VERY disappointed that this book, published in the 1980's, features many recipes that call for whole raw eggs that don't get cooked !! Was there no problem with salmonella back then? I would have... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I borrowed this book from a friend and loved it so much that I'm going to buy it from Amazon, but I noticed that many people have left reviews saying that some recipes leave lingering aromas in their cookers.

Allow me to be brief: this is the best instructional manual available for those who wish to make cheese from home, as I have for years.

Customer Review:
This recipe book is full of interesting recipes, comprehensive from dinner through dessert, and because I recently purchased my husband his first smoker, it will, no doubt, come in handy. He's already using some of the recipes, and to great success. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Bobby Flay's Grill It!
from Clarkson Potter
Price: $23.10
Customer Review:
The book was well written and good color photos. My complaint is that for the average cook, this is way too fancy and not basic enough for my needs. If you like to be a gourmet cook it would serve your needs. | 4.5 / 5.0

I am glad I chose this book on the basis of previous high reviews.

I don't eat pork and so it is best that I make my own beef sausage, not turkey but THE BEEF. I did mix up some of the recipes using the beef and it was very good. This book is reasonably priced and delivered to me what I was looking for... | 4.0 / 5.0

| 9. |  | The River Cottage Meat Book
from Ten Speed Press
Price: $26.40
Customer Review:
This book has two focuses: to teach the reader how to procure and prepare the best meat and to emphasize the importance of good husbandry.

from Clarkson Potter
Price: $21.45
Customer Review:
I bought this book about a year ago, and have browsed through it and used it so much that the book is literally falling apart. Giada's Italian recipes are by far the best of any Italian cookbook I've ever had. Most are fairly practical, and almost all are delicious. I highly recommend "Everyday... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
