Editorial Reviews

Review

Fresh ingredients are the first consideration in this collection of recipes from the Bakery Lane Soup Bowl restaurant. Invitingly written, and illustrated with drawings from 15th through 18th-century herbals and late 19th- and early 20th-century seed catalogs. Bakery Lane Soup Bowl Cookbook describes preparation of the delicious soups, salads, breads, desserts, and drinks that helped make this restaurant so successful. There are useful hints, including, for example, the key to making the best soup stocks, and how to sidestep the messy job of scalding milk when baking bread. This is an easily mastered, informative, and handsome addition to the cookbook shelf. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars This wonderful book is one of my cooking secrets!, September 15, 1999

This review is from: The Bakery Lane Soup Bowl Cook Book (Paperback)

I love this book, and am happy to see it is still available. The soups in here are delicious and foolproof, and the cakes and desserts are the sort that people will think are made from Grandma's old family recipe. The flourless chocolate cake is superb and amazingly easy. (I can't believe I'm recommending this book and giving away my secret source!)

This review is from: The Bakery Lane Soup Bowl Cook Book (Paperback)

Visited this little restaurant in Middlebury, Vermont many times, many years ago. This cookbook captures the quality and creativity of the Soup Bowl's menu and has been a perennial in my kitchen for close to 25 years. Don't be disappointed by what seems like a small number of recipes, they are all terrific.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for a novice cook, December 22, 1999

This review is from: The Bakery Lane Soup Bowl Cook Book (Paperback)

I bought this book about 20 years ago, and it has a 1970's appeal to it. The foods remind me of little restaurant you might stumble across and be delighted to find that they serve decent, wholesome food. I especially like the Cheddar Cheese Soup, and they offer some basic salad recipes that one can follow verbatim or use as a springboard for your own creations. This would make a good gift for a novice cook because it offers many familiar recipes that are easy to make.
