5.0 out of 5 stars Real recipes that really work!, July 19, 1999

By A Customer

Every recipe I have tried has worked beautifully. Despite the appearances that this is just a novelty book, the ideas and combinations really create tasty foods. The dishes are fun and creative. Delicious!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great book for the Frasier fan or occasional Chef, January 2, 2007

By	Wayne Beckham (Fontana, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Something that just arrived in the mail is "Cafe' Nervosa: The Connoisseur's Cookbook," an eclectic collection of recipes ostensibly from Frasier, Daphne, and the entire crew. I love to cook and I'm always on the outlook for new recipes and this is a fine collection of some really interesting ones. The picture I've uploaded is one of my favorites, Mocha Nervosa Walnut Bread.

The book is divided into four sections, Man Can Live by Bread Alone (breads and desserts); Let's do Lunch (small, relatively simply meals); Just Bring Two Forks (ornate, you-better-think-about-it meals); and Some Like it Hot (coffees and drinks). Sprinkled throughout the book are quotes and bits from the show. The book also has an index for quick lookup. At 108 pages, it's not a huge book, but well written and just quirky enough to keep your interest. And the recipes are easy enough that almost anyone (that is, me) can do them without getting lost or having to travel to Trader Joe's for some obscure ingredient.

By	Shelley Brosnan (Kent, WA) - See all my reviews

If you are a fan of Frasier, the book alone is worth it! If you enjoy good food that anyone can make, this book is for you. I wouldn't miss the chance to own it.
