great addition to ayurvedic cook's library 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This book has been a wonderful way to introduce Ayurvedic cooking into my kitchen. I love the fact that these recipes are not "indian" dishes, for variety. I've tried the Salmon Loaf, Seafood cakes, beans & rice, and some very simple side dishes to go with these....all are great. I can also serve these to others who don't care to have indian food 7 days a week ;) As a beginner, I find most recipes in other, traditional Ayurvedic cooking sources a bit too much for my full-time work week, yet as an added benefit from using this cookbook I found that I've built up the courage to try those challenging ones as well... maybe on the weekend, initially. I base this review on comparison with the more complex "Eat - Taste - Heal", "The New Whole Foods Encyclopedia" (good reference on Ayurvedic properties of single foods, but not on "mixing"), and "The Path of Practice" (although this one is not really a cookbook). Hope my experience encourages you to try the Ayurvedic diet!

Editorial Review:

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of health and healing based in the principle that each human being is unique, and has a distinct individual constitution, genetic inheritance, and predisposition to certain ailments. This is the first Ayurvedic Cooking book that allows you to easily implement Ayurvedic principles in your cooking and improve your health without devoting long hours of study to the subject or breaking your budget. Learn how to cure insomnia and indigestion, even out mood swings, and much more, just by making food choices based on your Ayurvedic constitution. The recipes include familiar favorites - such as baked apples, chicken burgers, and potato salad - making it a practical, easy-to-use addition to your kitchen and home.

Editorial Review:

Want to prepare one meal the entire family will actually eat? Get your children to finish their vegetables? Spend more quality time with your kids?

Enter The Family Kitchen, where award-winning chef and mother of three Debra Ponzek shares recipes that are simple enough to please kids, refined enough to satisfy parents, and easy enough for everyone to roll up their sleeves and help make. From Breakfast to Dinnertime, Bake Sales to Vegetables and Salads, Snow Days to Summer Supper on the Grill, chapters include 125 flavorful crowd-pleasers such as Pan-Seared Pork Chops with Green Apple–Cranberry Compote, Honey-Glazed Carrots, and Double Hot Chocolate with Homemade Marshmallows. This is food you and your kids will want to eat every day—and not a smiley-face pizza in sight!

While dinner may frequently be over all too soon—cut short by homework, practice, or bath time—preparing meals together in the kitchen can help you steal a little more time with your kids. The kitchen is warm, the pace relaxed, and the conversation easy. Children are also proud of their culinary accomplishments, exclaiming at the table: “I helped make it!” and then diving into a huge portion of those very same carrots they peeled just minutes earlier. Each recipe includes a list of exactly which steps kids can tackle. In addition, there are tips on how to incorporate healthful ingredients and new flavors into a child’s diet; how to make a kitchen safe for children; and how to pull off a kids’ cooking party. The indispensable companion to every family’s favorite gathering spot, The Family Kitchen has a place in every home.



Surely I am not the only mother who can barely recall what it was like before three kids took over the house, the car, the backyard, and my heart, and it’s precisely because of this 180-degree turnaround that I wanted to write this book. The book is for moms and dads who like to cook, who want to teach their kids proficiency in the kitchen, and who want to eat well—without pretension—when they find time to cook at home. Above all, this book is about the possibilities for connecting with your kids and enjoying your family by cooking together. —From the Introduction

I looked at almost every book on the market for pressure cookers and this was one of the books I chose. I liked the variety of the recipes, the pictures which alot do not have and the information was helpful if you are new to pressure cooking. I found it to be very thorough and covered a wide range of dishes...meat, poultry,desserts and even just vegetable and bean dishes if you are not into meat.....Highly Recommended!!!!

Burn Like A Pro 5 out of 5 stars.
20 of 20 people found this review helpful.

When I first bought a house in the Blue Ridge Mountains I found that (being built in 1810) the most efficient and economical way to heat it was with wood. So although I didn't buy this book for the cooking aspects (which proved nice anyway), it was INDISPENSABLE for a beginning wood-burner. You get the low down on maintenance, safety, and a host of other must-have information. Should be required reading with every wood burning stove/heater purchase. Two thumbs up.

A complete guide! 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 16 people found this review helpful.

We are building a house and I am considering using a wood cook stove outside on the patio, to be used during the summer months, when the inside electric stove would heat up the house, so I bought this book as an introduction to using one.

This book covers a lot of ground, including new and used stoves, various types of wood for fuel, coal stoves, how to operate the stove, recipes, and a whole host of other topics. Now I can't wait to buy a stove and get 'cookin'.

Editorial Review:

Filled with tips on buying, setting up, cleaning, and enjoying a woodstove with breakfast, dinner, and dessert recipes from Cooper's eclectic collection.

not that great 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought Bisquick II first and loved it. Gave this a look and didn't like it. Some of the recipes are in II book, making this one a waste of money. Most of the recipes have hardly nothing in them but onion, bisquick, and 1 other item sometimes.

I recommend Bisquick II instead of this one.

delicious 5 out of 5 stars.

I had a copy of the book for a couple of years, made quite a few of the recipes for family & friends. So many compliments, I had to buy some to give as gifts. Enjoyed by all.

Super-quick food that delivers on Taste! 5 out of 5 stars.
27 of 27 people found this review helpful.

I've cooked over 40 of these recipes and they have all been easy to make and most of all delicious! I've been a vegetarian for 20 years, and one thing I've often hated about many vegetarian cookbooks is that a) the recipes take forever to cook; b) they call for a million ingredients, and often just one Tablespoon of something you'll never use again c) after all that effort, the meal is simply flavorless.

Well, there's GOOD NEWS TONIGHT with "The 15-Minute Gourmet"!
- Fast prep and cooking times
- Short ingredient lists with Things You Have in Your Kitchen Right Now!
- Tasty, Delicious Results that Your Family WILL EAT!

I can say that because while I am a vegetarian, my family does eat at least some meat. This cookbook is making it easier for him to "swallow" vegetarian cooking.

Highly recommended! Good food fast!

Editorial Review:

Here is a terrific collection of easy recipes that will appeal to both busy vegetarians and meat-eaters who enjoy making vegetarian dishes because they are quick, tasty, and nutritious. This book, previously published as The 15-Minute Vegetarian Gourmet and updated for this series, proves that tasty, satisfying, and healthful meatless meals can be ready in a jiffy. Recipes include: Italian Garden Frittata, Potato Salad with Light Pesto Vinaigrette, Moroccan Chick Pea Soup, and Herbed Macaroni Parmesan.

To make your life even easier, the book has an ingredients list with mail-order sources and lists of recipes for specific needs and occasions. Best of all, there are ten foolproof menus, from an Old-Fashioned Casual Dinner for 6 to a Brunch for 16 to a Cocktail Party for 24, each with a shopping list and a two-week "countdown game plan" that will take the fear out of entertaining for even the first-time host.
