Good starter book, but not likely to convert tradional chefs - Suzi Hough - San Jose, CA United States
I liked that this book introduced me to new ideas about the microwave. I honestly never thought about using it to cook fish or make rice; as far as I was concerned microwaves re-heat and that's about it. I am glad that the book at least opened my horizons, so if I'm stuck in a situation where all I have is a microwave, I can whip up something more interesting than prepackaged frozen dinners.

The book has a lot of information about microwaves in general, including their history and things to watch for when deciding what size will be best for your needs.

From the recipes I tried, I am not convinced that microwave cooking is any better - or even on the same level - as the more traditional methods of cooking. Often, the recipes didn't seem to save much time, and they were rather bland...but that's good, in a way. It keeps your options open for customizing flavor to your individual tastes. I was a little disappointed that there weren't photos for the many recipes, but a lot of them are so basic you don't really need to see how the food looks.

I think this is a great book for new chefs or students who don't have access to great kitchen facilities, but experienced cooks who enjoy traditional food preparation will not be impressed.

"Greenwich Village has been my home for over a decade. As I walk down Bleecker St--like a magnet--I'm hit with the intoxicating aromas of garlic, olive oil, fresh seafood, ginger, bacon, coconut curry & saffron. Braised short ribs catch my olfactory sense as I pass my favorite Korean BBQ place until I walk down Houston St to meet Italian pork shoulder roasting from the open doors of my local rustic Italian trattoria. My daily epicurean journey ends with a familiar stool at the local Spanish wine bar on MacDougal when I ask Jorge for a glass of spicy Rioja and a plate of thinly sliced Chorizo. My daily walk to the West 4th St subway station inspired me to write a new recipe every day. I hope my cookbook inspires you to enjoy the exciting flavors of Greenwich Village as much as I do." --Chad Carns, Cookbook Author, The Gourmet Bachelor: Global Flavor, Local Ingredients

The Vietnamese Cookbook (Capital Lifestyles)

Product Details

In "The Vietnamese Cookbook," Diana My Tran transforms many of her complex traditional dishes into new simpler versions, tailored to the fast pace of America and the freshest ingredients from our local supermarkets. In Vietnam, a traditional meal consists mainly of rice accompanied by a salty dish of seafood or meat, vegetables and/or a composed salad. Diana invites you to create your own memorable meals with more than 100 tantalizing recipes for authentic Vietnamese sauces, appetizers, salads, soups, main dishes, desserts, and beverages.





One page of deliciousness after another is what you'll find once you crack the cover of Diana My Tran's The Vietnamese Cookbook. Tran has a couple of qualifications above and beyond her Vietnamese heritage as underpinnings to this book: She has two impatient children and a very busy career. Time, then, is of the essence. And yet, she wants to pass on to her children the food of their culture--while living in the U.S.

So from the many dishes of her own childhood in Saigon Diana My Tran has simplified technique while making use of the available foods in an American supermarket. The results are quickly prepared, flavorful renditions of Vietnamese classics that give the cook the sense of what Vietnamese cooking is all about. As Tran points out, part of what it's all about is low-fat cooking with lots of vegetables--a veritable diet book.

Tran divides her book by rice, sauces, appetizers and salads, soups, main dishes, and desserts and beverages. She mixes lemon juice and lemon zest to create the Lemon Rice she serves with chicken and seafood. There's also a recipe for sticky rice with peanuts. Her sauces include such standards as Sweet and Sour Fish Sauce and Sweet and Sour Soy Sauce. Among the appetizers you will find spring rolls, both fried and fresh. Also, Shrimp Mung Bean Rice Cakes. There's a Papaya Shrimp Salad as well as a Lime Steak Salad. The wonderful Beef Noodle Soup (Pho Bo) is represented. Main dishes include Ginger Chicken, Honey Roasted Quail, Sesame Spareribs, Caramel Shrimp, Lemongrass Fish, and Vietnamese Crab Cakes.

The Vietnamese Cookbook is an easy way in to this wonderful culinary world. Let your palate be your guide. --Schuyler Ingle

Seems to work for weight loss; maintenance may be another story - Steven A. Peterson - Hershey, PA (Born in Kewanee, IL)
I tried the Atkins' diet once and lost twenty pounds--and promptly gained half of that back. Good for weight loss. Not so sure about maintenance. I saw a lot of friends try it and lose a lot of weight and then some time later, most of them were status quo ante. . . . Still, this volume provides a good set of Atkins' recipes and is a fine resource if one wishes to try the diet. . . .

The Preface to the 2004 edition notes that the Atkins' diet had, in essence, gone "mainstream." It also noted Dr. Robert Atkins' passing in 2003. A central part of this diet is the low carbohydrate dictum. Helpful to any reader will be the listing of acceptable foods at the end of the volume (pages 209-215).

Since this is a cookbook, though, the key question is how good the recipes are. Let's take a look at a sampling of recipes and get a sense of what is at stake here. First, an example of an Atkins' diet soup, French Onion Soup Gratinee (I love a messy French onion soup!). Ingredients: olive oil, onions, reduced sodium chicken broth, dry sherry, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and Swiss cheese grated. Begin by browning onions in olive oil; stir on chicken broth, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, and bouillon cube. Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer. Add parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and simmer a bit longer. Move to ovenproof serving bowls, put Swiss cheese on top and broil until cheese is brown and melted. This differs from the standard recipe that I use, but it is doable.

One example of a nice easy salad recipe is Greek Salad. Mix together vinegar, salt, and pepper as dressing. Add tomatoes (cut up), cucumbers, feta cheese, onion, olives, and toss well. Top with the dressing and enjoy!

A protein source? Scallops Meuniere. Heat olive oil until hot--but not smoking. Add scallops until they're golden brown. Transfer browned scallops to a dish to be kept warm. Then, add butter to the pan. Stir in lemon juice, dry white wine, parsley and shake the pan. Then, season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over scallops and eat the dish.

And so on. Again, for the most part, the recipes are quite doable. I have tried a handful and found the recipes to produce good tasting food. I have not yet committed to returning to the Atkins' diet--but I will take advantage of this volume as a cookbook, whatever the case!

Macgyver's Guide to Cooking - B. Preston - Philadelphia, PA
This is the perfect cookbook for someone who has never cracked an egg before. It gives you tips on what to do if you are lacking in supplies, the recipes are open ended so it is difficult to do a poor job with a recipe, and it includes commentary so it feels less like an instruction manual and more like a guide. It was a great gift for a friend of mine who assumed it was impossible to cook in college. This is not a good cookbook for people with a firm grasp on cooking. The wording will irritate anyone with experience.

This is probably a better book for those younger cooks out there interested in making bento or highly popularized Japanese cooking.

Gotta Love Gus the Dog, He is so Wise - Captain Katie - Long Beach, CA and the Sunny Caribbean
I've had this book for years and I go to it about once a month or so for an idea. I particularly like the comments by Gus the Dog. He is so right when he says that "People become confused when they are all cooking together and having a good time." Gus thinks it's better to stand by the door and watch, because they will feed you sooner or later. That's good advice for all you arm chair chefs.

This book is crammed full of delicious recipes from around the world and down the street. The neighborhood, Europe, Asia and more, all between the pages of one cookbook, can't ask for more than that. But you get more here, because you get Jeff Smiths delicious sense of humor and his doggone good writing. This is so much more than a cookbook, it's good old fashioned entertainment as well. It's a must for any chef.

Whether you're hosting an elaborate holiday bash or a spur-of-the-moment intimate evening for two, or you just need a quick dinner for you and your family, the SUGAR BUSTERS! Quick & Easy Cookbook will help you create the perfect meal.





The Sugar Busters! diet lets you eat just about anything except certain carbohydrates, including refined sugars, red and white potatoes, corn, white rice, highly processed grains, beets, and carrots. This cookbook offers a variety of Sugar Busters!- acceptable recipes, averaging about 40 percent "correct" carbohydrates, 30 percent protein, and 30 percent fat. These recipes won't keep you in the kitchen all day, though most aren't produced in a flash, either. Breakfasts are predominantly egg dishes. Lunches include Stir-Fried Ginger Chicken, Chesapeake Crab Cakes, Whole-Wheat Spaghetti with Olive-Tomato Sauce, Fourth of July Macaroni Salad (colorful with red onions, tomatoes, green bell peppers, and onions), and Bayou Spicy Boiled Shrimp. Dinner entrées emphasize meat, fish, and poultry, with some regional and international dishes. The collection also includes separate recipe sections for vegetables, appetizers, salad dressings, sauces, and holiday dishes.

Many recipes are high in fat, especially saturated fat, such as Green Chilies Cheese Casserole, which uses six large eggs and four cups of grated cheese to eight ounces of green chilies. No nutritional breakdown is provided, so if you're trying to keep your fat intake to 30 percent, you'll have to guess. The authors suggest finishing the meal with "dessert of a simple green salad coated with a subtle olive oil and milk herb dressing or a few bites of cheese" or "a few nuts." If those don't hit the spot, there's a choice of seven dessert recipes, including a high-saturated-fat vanilla ice cream made with six egg yolks, a quart of whole milk, a quart of cream, and a cup of artificial sweetener.

Good for beginners - LD400RN - Sebaastopol, CA, USA
I had gotten this book form my grandmother after I moved-out on my own and thought it was pretty good for my beginning cooking skills. Now, 21 years later, and after re-purchasing it after it was lost in a move, it is too basic for my much-improved cooking skills. The recipes are good and easy to do but they probably won't do much for someone with cooking experience. For the beginner, a son/daughter who has just moved-out or maybe even as a wedding present for a couple who now have to cook for each other without much experience in doing so, this would be a good gift.
