Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2010

Join premier chefs Anna and Michael Olson as they entertain at home

Anna and Michael Olson Cook at Home invites readers into the home kitchen of Ontario's premier chefs Anna and Michael Olson where they offer practical and often humorous advice on cooking and entertaining, and share their culinary inspirations and handy techniques.

More than a collection of inspired recipes, this book is a useful, down-to-earth guide that relates food to the everyday details of life. With over 200 recipes divided into sections such as people, necessity, adventures, and occasions, Anna and Michael Olson Cook at Home examines food for all of life's events, routine and special, from an intimate dinner for four to a party of 60, and from a child's birthday party to dinner with the boss.

Accompanied by playful and insightful comments from both Anna and Michael, the recipes are as delightful to read as they are to make.

This review is from: Anna and Michael Olson Cook at Home (Paperback)

Anna Olson has done a lot within a relatively short media career. I bought this book for my wife. And she has not put it down since.

Great work.
