Organized by meal course, the book contains a multitude of creative recipes, adapted for serving at home and reflecting a quixotic, multiethnic blend of foods and ingredients. Full of insider tips on food preparation and service and delightful anecdotes, this bountiful feast of information is also a lavish treat for the eyes, with Becky Roller's wonderful drawings and calligraphy gracing each page. The Frog/Commissary Cookbook is the perfect introduction to a very special culinary world--and the ideal addition to every cook's home library.

The best, most reliable cookbook I've ever owned.

Absolutely crammed full of wonderful, flavorful recipes from beginning to end. I've owned this book since about 1988 and still use it more regularly for entertaining than any other. My favorites are the chicken satay, orzo salad, siamese chicken curry, grilled marinated swordfish, roast duck with Thai curry glaze, oatmeal sunflower seed pancakes, and pecan pie. Wait! I forgot the stir fry sauces and all those little suggestions at the end of chapters, and the broccoli and the gratin and the cookies and the ... You get the picture. Buy it.


Amazing and much loved cookbook!

As a local to Philadelphia, this came to my mother via the restaurant/ catering affiliations of Steve Poses, now of which I think there may only be Le Bus? Anyway, this has been a family staple for many years and the first book I grab for when I am serving company. Not light on calories, but guaranteed to be delicious... and I mean EVERY recipe. Awesome.

Finally!

This book is awesome. I am very pleased to see it back in print!


This will make your reputation as a cook!

This is the ideal dinner-party cookbook, and your guests will think you're a genius cook. I've been using it since the mid 1980's, and have made my reputation on dishes like Siamese Chicken Curry, Chicken Liver Paté with Brandy, Bacon, and Herbs, Vanilla Walnuts, and more. The flavorful dishes are sometimes high in fat, but who cares? This is food for special occasions, and it will be your "go-to" cookbook again and again.


I accept that the 80s will not die. And, they are delicious.

This afternoon I told my daughter we'd make oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies for her lunchbox ("No oatmeal!" "Yes oatmeal,") and went looking for a recipe online. As soon as I saw the words "Frog Commissary" come up on Google, I was happy. Why? I don't know -- maybe it was all that eastern-PA late-80s/early-90s bookselling, maybe I'd shelved the cookbook before, or maybe it was ESP cookie vibes reaching out to me from 1985. Because hot damn, these are wonderful cookies.

I must admit that reading the reviews makes me wince just that tiny bit -- all those terribly fashionable foods of the time. Reminds me of the year my dad added Belgian endive to my mom's shopping list every week just to annoy. You know, I could live without the raspberry puree brulee spinach asparagus crepe hazelnut big-puffy-sleeve dance again. But so what? I'm looking forward to cooking from this book, and I bet I'll wake up some pleasant memories in doing it.
