When the people at Diamond of California, the world's leading marketer of nuts, decided to create a cookbook, they scoured their archives, developed dozens of new recipes, and turned to some of America's best loved chefs, cooking teachers, and food writers for more. The result is NUTS: SWEET AND SAVORY RECIPES FROM DIAMOND OF CALIFORNIA, a collection of more than 100 recipes complemented by lavish color photography and hints and tips to help make the dishes easier and more fun to prepare. You'll find classic comfort food, like Farmhouse Chicken Stew with Buttermilk-Walnut Dumplings; no-stress show-stoppers for entertaining, like Seared Scallop Salad with Grapefruit, Endive, and Walnuts; and, of course, plenty of cookies, cakes, desserts, breads, and quickbreads, from an inventive Macaroon Nut Tart to sumptuous Blueberry-Almond Bread Pudding. Ready to make the foods you cook a little more special? Head for the kitchen . . . and go nuts!• Includes recipes from top chefs (and nut aficionados!) like Charlie Trotter, Jacques Pépin, Mollie Katzen, Gary Danko, and Emily Luchetti.• Features an introduction by Gene Spiller, Ph.D., CNS, a renowned authority on nuts and nutrition.

Nuts: Sweet and Savory Recipes from Diamond of California,
By Mary O'Meara (Upper Lake, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nuts: Sweet and Savory Recipes from Diamond of California (Hardcover)
I have been using the new Diamond cookbook for a few weeks and want to say that the recipes are very usable. Most ingredients are on my shelf, the directions are simple, effective, and the results so far for all the recipes I have tried have been just perfect. I have been surprised at how easy the preparations are. With some cookbooks, I feel it necessary to try the recipes out before cooking for company but with this book that has not been necessary. I enjoy the many different types of recipes as well as the beautiful pictures. Lovely cover photo also!
