Customer Review: This is an "okay" cookbook if you're a chef, but not for the average cook. She advertises it as if it is normal everyday items in your pantry: IT'S NOT. I didn't know at least one thing in every single recipe and returned it the day after I recieved it. I don't reccommend unless you have goat cheese... more info
Customer Review: Well, we expected to see more of the fantastic items Guy presents to us on his tv show. While there are recipes from some of the shows, the recipe's in the book we found to be kinda' "ho-hum".
Customer Review: I've recommended this book to my friends, meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans, and those who are into the "organic" food craze.

Customer Review: I was unsure if to purchase yet another cookbook, but glad I did. This one has recipes I can make without going out and buying ever little item. So far the ones I have tried have turned out pretty good and I will continue to make more of them.
Customer Review: Although I've enjoyed baking for years, I always found baking bread to be intimidating, until I bought this book. I dove right in, and using their recipes had great results almost immediately. But I think one has to keep it in perspective. Their technique will not enable you to produce the same... more info
Customer Review: I listened to the audio version of this book--read by the author. It is wonderful. Barbara Kingsolver has a lovely voice and a charming sense of humor, and...her book is very well-written. She and her husband and daughter give a very intelligent, impactful rendering of the subject of growing one's... more info
Customer Review: I really hated to cook. My idea of cooking was grabbing my laminated folder of takeout menus and ordering a variety of fast food and Chinese takeout. But after doing that for the past five years I am three sizes larger and my stretch pants are about to split the seams. Even worse, the money I spent... more info
