5.0 out of 5 stars The first cookbook I ever bought , and still one of the best, February 17, 2002

This review is from: Annemarie's personal cook book

I discovered this cookbook as a teenager, bought it, and have used it ever since. It is a beautiful book, with numerous colored photos, and anecdotes preceding each recipe (each in a different colored text, adding great visual appeal). And some of my all-time favorite and best recipes come from this book -- the strawberry meringue torte (the world's best dacquoise), pecan roll (I usually use toasted filberts), Spanish omelet, ratatouille (better than any other I've tried), broiled stuffed tomatoes, etc. The only caveat is that the author is a professional chef (former chef to Jacqueline Kennedy), so she's not always nit-picking about absolute precision in recipes. Although the baked goods seem fail-safe, I had to double the amount of lentils to get a thick lentil soup. This book is as good for reading (e.g., what the Kennedy children enjoyed from her kitchen, Billy Rose's favorite cheesecake, how the German-born author discovered that even Americans who hate turkey demand it for Thanksgiving, etc.) as for cooking. When it was in print, I gave copies to almost all of my friends; now that it is available used on Amazon, I will have to see who missed out. Everyone, without fail, has loved this book. If you like to cook or read about cooking, this book is definitely for you.

Annemarie Huste was the chef for Jacqueline Kennedy while she lived in New York. This is a gem of a cookbook since it has both recipes for everyday favorites as well as some nice recipes for entertaining.

This review is from: Annemarie's Personal Cook Book (Hardcover)

This is a book that I have used for years. I knew it was out of print and wanted a copy for my daughter so she could make some of her favorite recipes from her childhood for her own family. I brought it to her on our last visit and we couldn't wait to try the fabulous and foolproof blender chocolate mousse recipe. As always, it came out perfect! All the recipes are easy to follow and delicious!
