5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Cookbook I have!, November 9, 1999

By

This review is from: Beyond Parsley: Beautiful Food (Hardcover)

I bought this cookbook when it first came out and have always recommended it to friends who like to cook. I have confidence in the recipes because I know that each was tested by the KCJL cookbook committee, which is probably one reason they include such great notes. Among my favorite recipes: Cheddar Carousel, Hearts of Palm Salad with Herb Dressing, Szechwan Chicken, Sesame Asparagus, Creamy Lemon Rice, and Coffee Toffee Pie. Makes me hungry just thinking about them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious recipes, beautifully presented, December 5, 2000

This review is from: Beyond Parsley: Beautiful Food (Hardcover)

This is probably my all-time favorite cookbook (and I have many, many cookbooks). The recipes range from simple to prepare meals for a busy weeknight to elegant meals for entertaining guests or clients. My family's favorites are the Chicken Romano (very easy, very elegant) and the Mizzou Barbecue Sauce. I whipped up an extra-large batch of the BBQ sauce last year and gave it with my grandma's brisket recipe to our friends and neighbors. They raved about how good it was (and well it should be given that Kansas City is famous for having some of the world's finest barbecue). The cookbook also has inventive and tasty vegetable, dessert and pasta recipes, as well as a brunch section which I use every year for a Christmas brunch. I highly recommend this book. If you love to cook, you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite cook book!!!, February 15, 1999

This review is from: Beyond Parsley: Beautiful Food (Hardcover)

I have made almost everything in this book, and it comes out great! There is a lot of variety and you don't need exotic, hard to find ingredients. This is a first class cookbook that should be on every cook's shelf.
