The Best Cookbook We've Ever Used!

3 years ago

We LOVE this cookbook. Everything, absolutely everything we've made from this cookbook has been phenomenal. Yes, there are tons of ingredients to assemble, BUT the end results are amazing. This cookbook got my 13 year old son turned on to cooking, and getting a 13-year-old who is addicted to video games interested is something that isn't electronic is no mean feat.

For those of you out there thinking, "I couldn't possibly need yet ANOTHER cookbook," think again!!

We made the wild rice/smoked salmon cakes with the recommended salsa and also the baked yams with lime and honey, Excellent. The drink recipes look fabulous and I enjoy reading the health benefits of each concoction. I do find that quite a few recipes need special ingredients that I do not have regularly in my cupboards. Rebar is my favorite restaurant in Victoria and it is nice to bring a little bit of it home. Diana Madsen + read more
