The Kentucky Fresh Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have an entire shelf of cookbooks, but most rarely get used. Maggie's cookbook is totally different. The day I got my copy, I spent a couple of hours just reading. Maggie weaves personal stories, cooking tips, and interesting Kentucky information all together in a way that has gotten me excited about cooking again. The format allows me to move through an entire year month by month focusing on fresh produce. I really like the way recipes are divided up seasonally. Maggie makes it easy to put together a great meal. I have already fixed three recipes successfully. You don't have to be Julia Child to fix great meals! This is also a great book to get the whole family involved in the kitchen. The tradition of the family dinner needs to be rekindled and this cookbook is a good start!

Simply in Season Expanded Edition (World Community Cookbook) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this book in so many ways. The recipes are not only organized by season, but the outside page boarder color matches the index color of the section (green - spring, red - summer, etc). If I want a recipe for something that just came out of my garden in July, I can flip the red edged pages and be pretty sure that my veggie in in there. The first page in each section contains a listing of all the recipes, and the side border of the pages has all of the produce listed that may be in that section with the items for the recipe page listed in black and the others (not on that page) grayed out. I think the thing I love most about this book's format is that each ingredient is listed with the directions for that item immediately following. The next item (or set of items) is then listed with those directions following, etc... I don't have to look up and down several times while making my dish to get the job done. Oh, and the recipes are wonderful! I highly recommend this book.
