History AND Recipes 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

History and recipes all in one book! What a great combination. The photos, old and new, also greatly added to my enjoyment of this book.

This is a great cookbook, and the history of Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market is an added bonus. I have visited the market, a true gastronomic feast, many times but was never aware of its fascinating history and how it came to be. This knowledge will add greatly to my future enjoyment when I visit again.

I was delighted to find the recipes from some of my favorite vendors and plan to re-create my eating experiences by making many of them.

Editorial Review:

Quality, variety, and freshness have been hallmarks of the Reading Terminal Market for over a century. Now everyone can treat themselves to the tastes of the market in their own homes and, at the same time, learn the remarkable history of one of America's premier farmer's markets.

Each section of the book presents a different aspect of the market, and all of the merchants share special recipes that can be created easily with ingredients that are readily available at the market. This is a special cookbook that also celebrates the dedication of merchants, the loyalty of customers, and the diversity of cultures and neighborhoods that this historic market serves.

Editorial Review:

When Marion Scotto's grandmother, Elena, opened a poultry market in South Brooklyn in 1910, she didn't know she was starting a family food dynasty. A born entertainer from a long line of fabulous cooks, Marion, who says that she "never knew how to cook for two," opened Fresco by Scotto in 1993 with her son, Anthony Jr., and daughters Rosanna and Elaina.

Now, in Italian Comfort Food, the Scottos combine the delicious flavors and warmth of Italy with the neighborly atmosphere of a quintessential New York restaurant, sharing funny stories and dozens of their prized recipes. Here you'll find hearty, mouthwatering dishes that are easy to prepare and give us what we crave: satisfying, homey fare. This is food for a languid Sunday afternoon, a romantic home-cooked dinner, a festive family party:

• The famously addictive Potato and Zucchini Chips with Gorgonzola
• Marinated Seafood Salad
• Meatball Lasagna
• Risotto with Roasted Winter Vegetables
• Grandma's Stuffed Chicken (the dish that started it all)
• Chocolate Mascarpone Cream Pie

Cooking with Italian Comfort Food is the next best thing to sitting down to a warm welcome and a wonderful meal at Fresco, an oasis in the heart of Manhattan.

2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

We bought this book before heading up to the Hudson Valley and it proved to be invaluable. When we weren't visiting sites like the Roosevelt Museum and Vanderbilt Mansions, we stopped at many of the farms mentioned in the book. All of the farmers knew Jan Greenberg and treated us like old friends. We returned to New York with a hamper full of food which we enjoyed for days afterwards. A book like this is certainly different from your standard guidebooks and gave us a special dimension to our visit to the Hudson Valley.

Great resource for food lovers 5 out of 5 stars.

When my family moved to the Hudson Valley, we had heard about its agricultural resurgence but it was difficult to find out where to go and who was growing and producing what. Jan Greenberg's book has been a wonderful source for the freshest, just-picked fruits and vegetables. We now buy most of our meat and poultry locally as well. We know that we are eating food that not only tastes good but is grown and raised in a way that makes us feel good about eating it. We also like being able to tell our children the stories about the farmers who raise the food that we are eating. All in all, this is a great resource.

Editorial Review:

Travel guide, source book, and mouth-watering reading for all food-lovers.

YUCK! Don't waste your money! 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

...The problem is that the book is a cold collection of recipes, without a single comment from either the author or any of the contributors -- i.e., no hint of whether or not the author ever tasted anything, much less tried preparing them, or what the contributors thought of them (or if the contributors ever tried them ... Some could have errors that have been carried forward since no one bothered trying the dish.
Even for recipes that were tried, were they contributed because they're delicious, or because they're cheap?)...

Editorial Review:

Experience the timeless goodness of Amish cooking with simple to follow directions and basic ingredients. Treat your family to delicious Amish cooking in your own home with luscious recipes like the famous Amish date pudding, delicious cherry bars, onion patties and an assortment of easy to prepare casseroles that will be a treat for your family. This book was featured in the Cleveland Plain Dealer Newspaper as an excellent Amish cookbook. There is also a section on Amish home remedies that are interesting and helpful for simple ailments. The Amish Way Cookbook would be a treasured addition to any cookbook collection and makes a great gift for a friend. Laminated cover.

Editorial Review:

Ever wondered how your favorite restaurant makes that special dish you love? Have you tried to recreate it at home and it just wasn't the same? Vicki J. Caparulo persuaded New Jersey's favorite chefs to share their kitchen secrets in Great Dishes from New Jersey's Favorite Restaurants, so now you can make these fabulous dishes at home.

Inside you'll find more than 50 delicious pasta, meat, seafood, poultry, game meats, dessert, soup, and salad recipes from the best-loved eateries in New Jersey, along with dozens of mouthwatering color photographs by professional food photographer Steve Caparulo.

Vicki J. Caparulo, a Certified Culinary Professional, provides more than a simple list of ingredients and instructions. She shows you why the recipe works in a professional setting and how you can make it work at home. Caparulo, a recipe developer and cooking teacher, has written the recipes in an easy-to-use format, in detail and with care so anyone can be successful. Written with her offbeat and sometimes irreverent sense of humor, Caparulo's anecdotes about the restaurants, the chefs, and her own experiences in their kitchens make this book a great read, even for non-cooks. She also provides locations and contact information for every restaurant included in the book.

In addition to the actual preparation procedures and techniques, Caparulo provides instructions on everything from sanitizing your kitchen to storing herbs, roasting garlic, and debearding mussels. She defines cooking terminology in easy to understand language, recommends the tools you'll need, and tells you where to find them.

This book has a recipe for everyone--and with the author's friendly, easy-going style and expert advice, you can make them all!
