My favorite cookbook!,
By Larisa Blum (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Colorado Collage (Hardcover)
I bought this cookbook over five years ago, at the suggestion of a friend from Colorado (I live in Virginia). And although I have bought many more cookbooks since, I keep returning to the Colorado Collage. I have enjoyed and received many compliments on all the recipes I have tried from this book. The book has many positive points. First, the recipes are not difficult and the ingredients are not obscure. So, if you want to use this book to challenge yourself to see if you are the next Julia Child, then I would not bother. These are as close as you can get to no-fail/delicious recipes. Second, the book is very diverse and incorporates the fusion style. It presents standard fare with international flare. All the recipes are modern and exciting--no tuna molds from the 70's. Third, the book is great for entertaining because many recipes are easily doubled and tripled. Great appetizer section (alltime favorite ap, handsdown,--prosciutto wagonwheels). Fourth, the book gives generally healthy recipes--a few cream dishes, but not many. Fifth, the book has given me courage to explore and diverge from the strict letter of the recipe. The recipes are so good and basic, that even my occasional digressions have not ruined them. As stated by another reader, it's a great book for everyday and for special occasions. If I had to pick only one cookbook to own, this would be it.

Best cookbook ever!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colorado Collage (Hardcover)
I am not sure I can add much to reviews already written. But I too, have been using the book for years and it is my all time favorite cookbook. Everything in here is absolutely incredible! And really unique. My favorites: Salmon w/ Phyllo and Ginger cream shallot sauce and sun-dried tomato brie. My husband's favorite: Peak-to_Peak pancakes. This is a must own, for anyone who likes to cook or entertain.

Colorado Calling Good Food- Good Fun,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Colorado Collage (Hardcover)
Junior Leagues around the country are reputed to have the best cook books available. Colorado Collage more than lives up to this reputation. The book itself is lovely to look at- the photography is superb and professional. One look at the recipes and you make a direct path to the kitchen. I saw this cookbook at my daughter's sig. other's home, after I had tasted the most delicious chocolate chip muffins known to man. The recipes for Mexican food is what also sold me on this cookbook. Real Mexican food that has been taste tested by the leaguers and their families. You cannot go wrong buying any Junior League cookbook, and I would grab this before they are all sold out.
