Mollie Katzen

Ten Speed Press, 2000

Good Cookbook for Beginners, Eaters, and Busy People
Unlike a lot of vegetarian books and tracts, which drown in a kind of eat-your-spinach wholesomness, Mollie Katzen's New Moosewood Cookbook has a diverse cross-section of cuisines and tasty, uncomplicated recipes that a novice cook with a day job can savvy with a ...

The River Cottage Meat Book
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

Ten Speed Press, 2007

A heartfelt ODE to Prime MEAT and good ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
This book was my first exposure to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, and it was long overdue. After having read it, I hope to eventually acquire ALL of the author's other books. I've reviewed more than my fair share of culinary offerings, but this one easily elbowed it's ...
  
  











  



  
How to Grow More Vegetables and Fruits: (And Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops) (How to Grow ...
John Jeavons

Ten Speed Press, 2006

Not a book for "casual backyard gardening"
The people who are disappointed with this book are the ones who bought it without understanding what it was. This book isn't a "gardening for the soul" book of fluff, nor is it a typical "how to get bigger tomatoes" text. What this book is is a compendium of ...

How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor
Ernie J. Zelinski

Ten Speed Press, 2004

Maybe a Blinding Glimpse into the Obvious, But....
Zelinski offers a number of BGO's but I've known too many folks who have moved on into retirement without giving much heed to the straightfoward advice he offers. We all may know how much money we have (or don't have)when we retire, but we may not "what" we're retiring ...
  
  











  



  
Cooking
James Peterson

Ten Speed Press, 2007

Excellent for the adventurous cook!
After purchasing a leg of lamb I needed to know how to cook it properly and I purchased this book based on a another customer's review, in particular on the comments made about the chapter on lamb. I certainly did not want to ruin such a nice cut of meat! Excellent ...
  
  











  



  
The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread
Peter Reinhart

Ten Speed Press, 2001

Speaking as someone that has actually read this book...
I was nearly put off of buying this book by some of the bad reviews I read. (I always read the bad reviews to get a broad picture.) If I hadn't taken the time to check the book out for myself I would have greatly missed out. Please read the following comments that ...
  
  











  



  
The Gourmet Slow Cooker: Simple and Sophisticated Meals from Around the World
Lynn Alley

Ten Speed Press, 2003

I highly recommend this book...
These are recipes to use if you're having a dinner party and want to impress your guests with great food, not potluck casserole recipes made with canned soup, salt & pepper and processed cheese, etc. for people who are absolute beginners or are afraid of a little extra ...
  
  











  



  
Cracking Creativity: The Secrets of Creative Genius
Michael Michalko

Ten Speed Press, 2001

I told you so
This book woke me up from my indifference toward creative thinking. My colleague at work recommended the book, so I bought it and read it expecting nothing much. I assumed creativity was something you were or were not. I can't believe how creative I've become since ...

Ten Speed Press, 2007

Great recipes, timely book

Bon Appetit, Y'All: Recipes and Stories from Three Generations of Southern Cooking

loved it, ya'll!
