Giada's Family Dinners
Giada De Laurentiis

Clarkson Potter, 2006

Some truly heavenly food
I confess that my husband and I have something of a cookbook fetish. We have, however, invested in some books that didn't prove worthwhile and so before shelling out the money for Giada's books, I decided I would check them out from the library, make some recipes, and ...

Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites
Giada De Laurentiis

Clarkson Potter, 2008

An unexpected twist
I own several other of Giada's books, and by far I believe this will be my favorite. With her other books I found myself making recipes only once a month or so because the majority seemed to heavy to eat in Florida weather. This new book contains a variety of fresh ...

Barefoot Contessa Parties! Ideas and Recipes for Easy Parties That Are Really Fun
Ina Garten

Clarkson Potter, 2001

Forget the Fat
Forget the fat. Or don't think about it anyway. Every recipe I've tried in this book is not only easy to make, but delicious. I've made the pesto and the pasta salad that uses it, both with great results. I've made the oriental dressing and have used it for salads ...
  
  











  



  
Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure

Harper Perennial, 2008

Wonderful party idea
I heard this author give an interview on a radio program and was intriuged. A few weeks later I was attending a b-day party for a friend and thought this would be a wonderful gift/party game. There was something for everyone...lots of humor, seriousness, and depth. ...
  
  











  



  
People Puzzler Celebrity Extra
Editors of People Magazine

People, 2008

Not as good
I ordered this book because I enjoyed the first two puzzle books. This one contains a lot of different kinds of puzzles, and it just isn't as enjoyable as a result.

Bobby Flay, Stephanie Banyas, ...

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Grill It! Absolutely
My husband and I just LOVE Bobby Flay. I bought this for my green egg grillmaster hubby and boy have I reaped the benefits. Scallops cooked other ways will never be the same.
  
  











  



  
The Black List
Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Elvis Mitchell

Atria, 2008

A "coffee table" book that stimulates thought and converstation.
This boook is written as a series of essays about twenty-five different African-American people who are famous. All of them are written in the first person, but it is obvious the subjects didn't do the writing. The voice is uniform. This gives the book less of the ...

Knopf, 2001

Authentic Italian American!!
When I read the recipes in this book, I though my mother-in-law had written them!! She's first generation Italian American and learned everything from her mother who came to this country at the age of 16. Enjoy!!
  
  











  



  
American Eve: Evelyn Nesbit, Stanford White: The Birth of the "It" Girl and the Crime of the Century
Paula Uruburu

Riverhead Hardcover, 2008

Wow!
Like a few other reviewer's here, I'd never heard of Evelyn Nesbit, Stanford White or Harry Thaw, and only picked up this book on a fluke. What a pleasant surprise to read about one of the first "trial of the centuries" and the "girl in the red velvet swing". Paula ...
  
  











  



  
Summer (Sunrise Series-Baxter 3, Book 2)
Karen Kingsbury

Tyndale House Publishers, 2007

Summer is funner
This is a great addition to the wonderful Christian book series about Baxter and his life. Gave this to my wife who loves these series and has read just about all of Karen Kingsbury's books.
