Best Salad Cooking
The creator of the immensely popular Salad for President blog presents a visually rich collection of more than 75 salad recipes, with contributions and interviews by artists/creative professionals like William Wegman, Tauba Auerbach, Laurie Anderson, and Alice Waters. This compendium of savory recipes will tempt readers in search of diverse offerings from light to hearty: Collard Chiffonade Salad with Roasted Garlic Dressing and Crouton Crumble, Heirloom Tomatoes with Crunchy Polenta Croutons, or Flank Steak and Bean Sprouts with Miso-Kimchi Dressing. "Part relational art, part self-discovery, Salad for President turns our notion of "salad" on its head in a funny, beautiful, and most personal way." (Alex Grossman Bon Appétit ). “ Salad For President makes even the most unrepentant meat eater consider their leafy greens; it was a decidedly bitter, yet delicious, pill to swallow.”.

"I used the bookmark feature to highlight the recipes most likely to please my family and guests, and am happy to report that there are LOTS of them!"
"The cook book which came with my Crock Pot Express was nice but I wanted to do more with it."
"Christmas is near and I'm planning to try and prepare some crockpot recipes and create different meals at the same time with the help of the multicooker guide inside this book."
"The primary deficiency is an absence of an index of the recipes and the ability to go directly to a chosen recipe when using on a smartphone."
"For example, there are two recipes named, "Express Apple Pie.""
"One review remarked about how great the book is because of all the the nutritional information offered. I'm already convinced, just by the ingredients, that I will enjoy many of the meals I'll make using this book's recipes. On the other hand, I'm honestly a bit uncomfortable as to how my meals will turn out as there are so many blatant errors. I found some of the recipes lacking in specifics such as when to add some of the ingredients. I watch every penny of my hard earned money and can't afford to toss out my food. If spelling, grammar, sentence structure etc are not your thing and you're 12 or more years old, you know these are weaknesses."
"There are some very delicious recipes."

And that’s the beauty of being a waffle iron chef—waffling food other than waffles is not just a novelty but an innovation that leads to a great end product, all while giving the cook the bonus pleasure of doing something cool, fun, and vaguely nerdy (or giving a reluctant eater—your child, say—a great reason to dig in). Waffled Sweet Potato Gnocchi, Pressed Potato and Cheese Pierogi, and Waffled Meatballs all end up with dimples just right for trapping their delicious sauces. Cooking everything in a waffle iron turns out to be fun." "Pair this book with that waffle iron you never use and some lazy mornings or afternoons for some simple fun in the kitchen." -- Gale Gand, pastry chef, author, restaurateur, and TV personality.

It took one try for the waffled felafel to get inscribed in the regular rotation: delicious, crispy, ridiculously easy, and it barely changed the temperature of the kitchen."
"While I'll probably never scramble eggs in my waffle iron, I came away with a number of great recipes (you MUST try the brioche - it's SO easy and a delicious component of several items) and inspiration. For example, Shumski's idea to make a grilled cheese sandwich in the waffle iron is sheer brilliance by itself, but particularly so if you like to layer it with bacon or tomato. Double bonus: If you're using a Belgian waffle maker, your sandwich (if you center it, albeit against Shumski's advice - he suggests placing it as far away from the hinge as possible so as to get better leverage for closing it in, but my waffle iron, the Oster CKSTWFBF21, closes very nicely with the sandwich in the middle) will be cut into four sections, perfect for sharing right out of the waffle iron. and our new waffle iron."
"I already had a standard waffle iron, but after flipping through the cookbook I couldn't wait to use the new belgian waffle iron!"
"Awesome book, each recipe has easy instructions and pictures."
"Love it ... tons of ideas for making not only waffles but other dishes as well."
"Lots of good ideas to uses my waffle maker and very interesting recipes."
"What a fun cookbook!!!"
"Love this fun book, you think that sky is the limit with a wafle maker."

Fix-It and Forget-It BIG COOKBOOK , with its 1,400 best slow-cooker recipes, is another winner! “[Phyllis Good] is basically one of the queens of slow cooker recipes .”. –Booking Mama. For example, take time to get acquainted with a new slow cooker, fill it two-thirds full for best results, and try out recipes for the first time when at home for the day. With good recipes and good vibes , the latest Fix-It and Forget-It cookbook is bound to be a best-seller . Let's face it, most slow cookers come with instructions and a few recipes, but the recipes can't possibly be as good as the ones the Phyllis Pellman Good has included in 10 cookbooks she has penned. The book may certainly spur interest in buying a slow cooker if you haven't cooked with this method before!”. –Good Cooking. For instance, if you're looking for a beef stew recipe, the book gives you five or six recipe options, all in a row. The Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook has been my go to resource since I first bought my slow cooker as a newlywed back in 2002… This book really gave me a feel for how recipes come together… If you’re a novice with the slow cooker this is a book that I highly recommend .”. –Frankly Entertaining. “Recipes here are perfect for every season and occasion, and feature more than just the usual soup, stews, and casseroles… After looking through the recipe book, which consists of hundreds of recipes contributed by cooks throughout North America, I realized I really underestimated the practicality of a slow cooker . The Fix-It and Forget-It Slow Cooker Magic recipe book [is] very practical, and I can't wait to try out more recipes!”. –Hawaii Mom Blog. The recipes give easy, step-by-step instructions , as well as a complete list of ingredients–including a list of necessary cooking equipment–conveniently printed in the sidebar of each recipe page.”. –The Pioneer Woman.

Nothing more inconvenient than using a can of green beans as a page weight while trying to hold your cookbook open. If one doesn't turn out how I like there is plenty more to choose from :) I think its very well organized and so happy I finally bought this book. The only tiny issue for me is I wish there were a couple pages at the end of the book for "NOTES" so that I could write down my favorite recipes."

Ina Garten and The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook provide the perfect recipe for hosting parties that are easy and fun for everyone--including the cook. For more than twenty years Ina Garten's, Barefoot Contessa, the acclaimed specialty food store, has been turning out extraordinary dishes for enthusiastic customers in the Hamptons. Finally, the energy and style that make Barefoot Contessa such a special place are shown here, with dozens of recipes and more than 160 breathtaking photographs, in The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. Her experience at Barefoot Contessa has given her hundreds of ideas for creating wonderful parties in a few hours. Lauren Bacall gets cranky when Barefoot Contessa, an East Hampton specialty food store/institution for more than 20 years, is sold out of Indonesian Ginger Chicken. Aimed at the cook who intends to entertain, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook draws on Garten's experience as a caterer, as well as her knowledge of what customers really want to eat when they arrive at her shop. Starting with appetizers, Ina Garten isn't afraid to include such basics as hummus and guacamole: she knows from experience that her versions make a profound impact. There are French Onion Soup and Corn Cheddar Chowder, Baked Virginia Ham and Salmon with Fennel, Roasted Carrots and Caramelized Butternut Squash--and then one killer dessert after another.

"I was impressed with the ease of most of them - and I quickly realized after trying a couple of the recipes that they could be easily tweaked to mimic dishes I have made before - the long way."
"Updating my review below, now that we've been using this cookbook for much longer: We really LOVE this cookbook and regularly use it (about three times per week). We make small adjustments for our taste, to add a bit more of the seasoning/spices or leave out an ingredient we don't like, but as written they are usually good to great. Some of our favorite go-to's include Slow Cooked Mac n' Cheese (p. 210), French Beef Stew (p. 201), Pizza in a Pot (p. 171), Spaghetti Sauce (p. 171), Chipotle Beef Sandwiches (p.39) and Lime Chicken Tacos (p. 135)."

"I am new to bread making so this is why I wish it was a little more specific to bread machines."
"I have had it for about a month, bought it at the same time as I bought my very first bread-making machine, and so far every recipe I've made has turned out great!"
"Very simple recipes for our bread machine."
"I've tried multiple recipes from this book with tasty results and look forward to trying more of them."
"Using the exact (measured by scale) measurements of ingredients resulted in a dough that was like thick pancake batter, rather than the dough ball I usually have. So, always check your dough while it is mixing/kneeding to make sure you aren't too wet or too dry."
"One thing I don't like about the book is that many of the recipes in the Whole Grain chapter aren't 100% whole grain - a few of them even contain only a small amount of whole grain flour. Despite the few things I don't like about this book, I feel that the information is so helpful that once I've tried a few more recipes and experimented a bit, I'll be able to adjust recipes successfully and maybe create my own."
"Looks to be a great book, hopefully my wife will love it as a Christmas gift."
