Summer Living"
Cold Soups, as its title boldly states, is a cookbook for a style of food that has somehow escaped becoming an American tradition. As Ziedrich points out, most Americans, if they had tried cold soups at all, have most likely had only gazpacho, vichyssoise, or borscht. Ziedrich's 79 recipes are all simple, designed to lead the cook through unfamiliar territory. Just read the book." Statesman-Journal --
Salem, OR"Author Ziedrich doesn't stop with the classics. Drawing on international cuisines, she offers everything from clam consomm to avocado soup with salsa to pomegranate and orange soup and pure of celery soup with caraway." --
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"If the number of delicatessens offering hot soups on steamy, hot days is any indication, this cookbook is urgently needed. It's Oregon free-lancer Ziedrich's first book, and it is well done. The 80 recipes are either drawn from America, Europe, the Middle East, India, or East Asia or are the authors original creations. The soups range from clear to thick and creamy." --
Nation's Restaurant News"Just in time for summer, this refreshing and enlightening cookbook provides versatile recipes for simple, elegant, and light and hearty meals. You will not be disappointed with this convenient cookbook." Fort Worth Stockyard Gazette --
