... Show More
For all those interested in food and cooking, this book combines Rosso's concern for freshness and intense flavour with healthy low-fat eating. There are over 800 recipes, each with a nutritional analysis, divided into five seasons (the last being "holidays"). It is intended for everyday use, but should also be useful for special occasions. The book also contains amusing and helpful drawings, maginalia, tips and idiosyncrasies. Julee Rosso is co-author of "The Silver Palate Cookbook", "The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook" and "The New Basics Cookbook".

Four stars mostly for nostalgia, as this was the first cookbook I was given when I moved into my first apartment in the 1990s. I think I still have it somewhere. It seemed extremely chic and "classy" to a country girl who, up to that point, had only seen cookbooks printed by church ladies with that weird plastic spiral binding.

I bought a copy of this cookbook for our home and for my folks after my father had a massive heart attack in 1996. Mom and I both have used many recipes out of it--some have become staples in my cooking repertoire, especially the lemon roasted chicken. I love that the recipes are organized by season and that special treats are included. Fantastic addition to any cookbook library for any family trying to keep it healthy.

Ah, here's a very good cookbook that I've forgotten. It's an older book and one of the first to introduce the concept of lower fat cooking. The oven puff with fruit is as good as it's presentation. Also good were the black angus and black beans and the upside down peach cake. I better keep this in better spot.

I made a couple of things from this--some pestos that turned out quite good, and some gnocchi that were a flop. I have to take the blame for the second one, as my technique could use some help! It is on my list of things I need to work on making.

While I rarely use cookbooks anymore, this one was one of my first cookbooks and one of the most used. Everything is excellent and easily reproduced. A great good starting off point for beginning cooks.
