5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cookbook for High Elevations, July 7, 2000

David Vayo Hamilton (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New High Altitude Cookbook (Hardcover)

This cookbook is an excellent choice for anyone who lives in higher elevations like Denver, Santa Fe, Taos, etc. The atmosphere at those elevations makes cooking a challenge. This cookbook touches upon all of the possible pitfalls of cooking at high altitude. Two thumbs up

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading, April 13, 2006

S Saint "sks" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New High Altitude Cookbook (Hardcover)

Maybe these recipes work in Denver? I now notice the positive review is from Seattle!!!
I have had no success with the baking recipes at 6,500 ft and higher, and havent tried them at lower altitudes. The other dishes I've tried did not produce inspired cuisine.
My copy is now available at the used bookstore.

2.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment, May 10, 2006

Smart Shopper (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New High Altitude Cookbook (Hardcover)

This book was a big disappointment. I'm sorry I bought it, and I'm not keeping it. HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING (Colorado Extension Service) and PIE IN THE SKY (Susan Purdy) cookbooks are much better.

Older cookbook, from 1980, written by two residents of Denver (5280 feet). Seems to be OK for moderately high elevation, like 5500 feet where I'm at. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
If you live at high altitude (I'm at 9300 feet) this is a must-have cookbook. I've been using it since 1980 and bought a new one from Amazon as a wedding gift. Read more
