3.0 out of 5 stars Book on Avocadoes, January 3, 2007

This review is from: Cook West Absolutely Avocado (Paperback)

The book had less pages than I thought it would and was much smaller in width and heighth. It was illustrated beautifully and had some great recipes. It was a gift for a woman in the office who has several avocado trees on her property. Over the years, she has kept me and others where I work supplied with avocadoes when they are in season. It's also a great book for anyone who loves avocadoes. There is even a recipe for making avocado ice cream! My co-worker really appreciated receiving the book. I just wish it had twice the number of recipes in it. I guess there is just so much you can do with avocadoes.

I recently discovered how tasty avocado is in and of itself. However, I was interested in trying something different and so I bought this book for my husband for Father's Day. So far we have tried one of the recipes, The California Omelette, and it was quite tasty. I look forward to trying the Avocado Crab Puffs, the Thai Avocado Seafood Soup and the Avocado Cheddar Biscuits.
