A Classic Must-Have 5 out of 5 stars.
16 of 16 people found this review helpful.

This classic is a must-have for the true chili lover and chili historian. It's the book that revived interest in chili.

An Early Manifesto in the American Food Revolution 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Frank Tolbert's A Bowl of Red started out as a series of columns in the Dallas News but it's hard to define exactly what this book is in terms of form. It's not really a cookbook but I've made terrific chilis from his suggested recipes. It's not even completely about chili, although it starts out with that classic American (not Mexican) dish. Tolbert starts with a rambling history of the origins of chili in Texas cuisine and uses that as a base for wandering around through southwestern cuisine, famous Texas and southern cooks, ghost towns, European immigrants in Texas, the science of chili, chuck wagon chefs and too many other topics to list. His descriptions of the first several World Series of Chili Cookoffs in Terlingua, Texas read like a combination of the Marx Brothers and P.J.O'Rourke.

It may be hard to believe but this book is hard to put down. It's one of a kind.

I love this book! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I love this book so much, I've purchased one for the camper, the boat, home, and have even given it as gifts. Of all the recipes in it that I've tried, 99% of them are delicious, and need very few (if any) adjustments. The salad section is great for those rough summer days when you're so hot you can't even think, let alone come up with interesting meals. Each dish is simple, and most are colorful and nice enough for guests.

Editorial Review:

Soups that simmer for minutes, not hours, and salads that know no season: 75 inviting recipes revolutionize this familiar hot-and-cold combo. “Soup’s on!” will become everyone’s favorite words when you serve up luscious Creamy Asparagus with Mushrooms and Gruyere Croûtes; a coconut-flavored and substantial Brazilian Shrimp Soup; Chicken Avogolemo (a Greek specialty), and Mexican Pozole. For winning salads that aren’t just lettuce, try an amazing Grilled Scallops over Mixed Green and Herb Salad; Chicken with Cucumber and Red Pepper, tossed in Honey Mustard Dressing; and Mixed Greens with Smoked Ham, Black-Eyed Peas, and Roasted Red Pepper Dressing.

A cookbook for the kitchen and the soul! 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

If you like the Chicken Soup For the Soul books, you will want to have the cookbook as well. This is your chance to really experience the stories as you read them and then try your hand at the rceipes. I can almost smell the aroma of fresh bread or pies as they are cooking. I have tried several already and have gotten rave reviews for the food, but it is even more fun to tell the story to the family as they enjoyed the dish. I am already thinking of one recipe that I would like to share myself and I know as you read and try the recipes, you'll have one to share also.

Editorial Review:

The kitchen is the heart of the home. So much of life is lived around the family table: we tell stories, review the day, pass on traditions, grieve our losses, resolve differences, introduce new loves and celebrate holidays. In the preparing and sharing of meals we create deep memories that we carry with us forever.

In the flavor of Chicken Soup for the Soul, here is a joyful collection of heartwarming stories accompanied by mouthwatering recipes. Seasoned with heartfelt blessings, this marvelous book will help you revisit time-honored values and foster the sharing of meaningful conversation--and new recipes--at mealtime.

Editorial Review:

Few foods rival the feel-good factor of soup, whether a hearty minestrone on a chilly evening, a cooling gazpacho in the heat of summer, or the comforting tomato soup of childhood memory. This rich collection brings together 100 soup recipes from some of Britain's leading chefs and food writers. From Jamie Oliver's Chickpea, Leak and Parmesan Soup, to Rick Stein's Classic Fish Soup with Rouille and Croutons, here are recipes for every mood and meal. And as every culture embraces soup of some kind, the influences at work here are wonderfully varied—Ken Hom's Tomato Ginger Soup, Terence Conran's Borscht, Nobu's Seafood Miso with Chorizo, and Sam and Sam Clark's Chestnut and Chorizo Soup, to name but a few. Soup is surely the ultimate seasonal food, and, reflecting this, the book is organized by time of year, so that ingredients are easy to find and at their full-flavored best.

Don't judge this book by the cover !!!!!!!!!! 1 out of 5 stars.
23 of 23 people found this review helpful.

I had thought this was a great book for learning how to use Dutch Ovens for cooking. Lots of good general info and many nice pics. But, when it comes to the recipes I just don't get how the author can get them so screwed up. As I am new to Dutch Oven cooking I followed the recipes and cooking times precisely. I just wish the author had taken the time to take each recipe and follow it as per the directions to re-test the directions. Many of the cooking times are just plan screwed up and incorrect. As an example, there is no way in this world that the 1 hr cooking time for the sausage and sauerkraut recipe is anywhere near close to correct. Being new, I followed this literally and found that 1 hr is totally inadequate to get the dish to cook thoroughly. Tonite, I am trying the Big Woods Chichen recipe. One hour is completely inadequate for cooking. I am now trying to get the recipe to cook at 2 hrs. I'm sure my rice will be completely overcooked when the chicken is finally done. I am using a Viking professional stove which has been tested and calibrated and am also using a Lodge Dutch oven. Please don't waste your money on this book. It looks good but when you follow the recipes to the letter the results are poor and very disappointing!!!!!!!1

Editorial Review:

The Dutch Oven Cookbook introduces you to outdoor cooking's "Magic Pot" - the one cooking pot that does it all -- bakes bread, steams vegetables, boils seafood, fries eggs, stews wild game, and broils meat. Author Wayne Fears brings this ancient cooking tool into the 21st century describing the ins and outs of Dutch oven cookery and provides a selection of tasty traditional recipes. Whether you're cooking for a party on the patio, baking biscuits on a camping trip, or cooking slow in a bean pit, Dutch ovens produce great tasting food with a small amount of effort and a great deal of fun.

This is one GREAT soup cookbook!!!!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I've had this cookbook for a while now and have used it to make soups over the past two winters. Many of the recipes within it have become family favorites that we make over and over. The split pea soup with ham and French onion soup gratinee can't be beat! Other favorites include: black bean soup with sausage, avgolemono and lamb and chickpea soup. Overall a great cookbook that will bring many hours of cooking and eating pleasure!

Great Cookbook 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is a great collection of different soups for different moods. They also all incorporate several similar ingrediants, but stick to a great variety. My only complaint is the lack of calorie, fat, protein and carb counts. That would be helpful.

French home cooking 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I first fell in love with this kind of food on a trip to the New Hebrides Islands (the island of Espiritu Santo) in the 60's. Upon returning home I immediately purchased the only book of French cooking around--Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and put on 20 pounds. This book is wonderful! It's fun to read, easy to work with, and the food is really, really good. I loved the Split Pea soup and the Hunter chicken. Fortuneately, since the paradigm shift in French cooking during the 1970's, there's not a lot of high-fat food here--just good, solid, nourishing comfort food. Enjoy...

Editorial Review:

Bistro cooking made easy with mouth-watering recipes for the famous La Bonne Soupe bistro on West 55th Street. Interesting recipe intros and stories. Each recipe offers complete meal menus, including what bread and wine to serve. Award-winning onion soup, and other delectables—cheese fondue, stews, cassoulet, quiches, and omelettes, poisson and poulet! Great tips on techniques, cookware and ingredients. The best chocolate mousse, crêpes suzette and fondues!

Editorial Review:

Bernard Clayton, Jr.'s, first book, The Complete Book of Breads, won the coveted Tastemaker cookbook award and was praised by Craig Claiborne as perhaps the best book on the subject in the English language. Of Clayton's The Complete Book of Pastry, which also received a Tastemaker award, Claiborne said: "One of the most important cookbooks of this year if not this decade." Now this highly respected author turns his attention to soups and stews.

From his travels around the world, Clayton has put together an eclectic collection of 250 soup recipes and 50 stew recipes, adding to the clear instructions personal anecdotes and historical background throughout. He covers a wide range of soups, from Asparagus-and-Crab to Peach-Buttermilk. American classics such as New England Chowder, Burgoo and U.S. Senate Bean Soup share the spotlight with such international gems as Japanese Shabu-Shabu, Nigerian Peanut Soup and Scottish Cock-a-Leekie Soup. After a thorough discussion of the many kinds of stocks, from Brown Stock to Vegetable Stock, Mr. Clayton includes, for those of us who are lazy, the pros and cons of homemade versus storebought stock, along with tricks and tips to improve the later.

With recipes that are well written and easy to follow, Clayton shows that soup-making is neither time-consuming nor difficult, and in any case is well worth the effort.
