2.0 out of 5 stars Pass this one to someone else....
After reading some of the description and raves about this cookbook, I expected some nifty new recipes, and was excited to get it for Christmas. Instead, I found trite, one-special-ingredient differences from Betty Crocker, or recipes based on something from the Pillsbury section of the grocery store. Examples - onion rolls made from a can of biscuits plus minced onion,...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great history, great recipes, October 11, 2006
This review is from: Passed Down Through 4 Generations: Victoria Taylor Murray's Favorite Family Recipes: How it all Began (Paperback)
In his quarterly newsletter, Robert Stanek, author of "The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches" and many other books for young people, regularly features the books of new and upcoming authors as well as his favorite established authors. He's done this for the past four years. In his October/Fall newsletter, Mr. Stanek features three upcoming authors and one was Victoria Taylor Murray.

While I wasn't sure if Ms. Murray's Lambert series was right for me (her other ones are mystery/romance), I knew at once "Passed Down Through 4 Generations: Victoria Taylor Murray's Favorite Family Recipes: How it all Began" was my kind of book, and equally as important, it was a book my wife would enjoy as well.

As the name implies ""Passed Down Through 4 Generations," has great history behind the recipes. Ms. Murray wrote this book with her brother Joseph. Having tried the recipes, I can say there are many great ones, and more than a few that have become new favorites. I enjoy cooking, and I enjoyed this book. Recommended for any chef or chef to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Help In The Kitchen,, March 29, 2006
This review is from: Passed Down Through 4 Generations: Victoria Taylor Murray's Favorite Family Recipes: How it all Began (Paperback)
Passed Down Through 4 Generations: Has been a great help to me in the kitchen. I love to cook but creating new and exciting dishes for my family doesn't come easily. That is why I count on books like this one to keep both me and my family members satisfied and happy.

The Taylor Family of Men Chefs from Kentucky are a huge hit with my family. Their tasty foods and helpful suggestions make cooking fun for me.

It's hard to find books you can count on to help out. This book is heaven sent. Thank you Taylor Chefs for making my life in the kitchen a lot more easy!

I'm happy to recommend this book to anyone who needs a little help in the kitchen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun In THe Kitchen Again!, March 1, 2006
This review is from: Passed Down Through 4 Generations: Victoria Taylor Murray's Favorite Family Recipes: How it all Began (Paperback)
It's been awhile since I have had fun in the kitchen. Thanks to the men chefs in the Taylor family I am enjoying myself again. With such fun entree names who wouldn't have fun? Cooking is sort of a hobby with me and anytime I can create a fun meal for myself or my friends I feel as though I've accomplished something. Even the drinks (both alcohol and non) have catchy names. And the section that tells (we) non-chefs how we can substitue one ingredient for another was a life savor for me a few times. I recommend this fun cookbook to anyone that wants to have fun cooking in the kitchen again. Thank you, Chef Tell.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book shines! Wonderful for any cook!, May 21, 2006
By 
Billie Jean "Miss Glitz" (Reno,Nv, by way of Monaco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Passed Down Through 4 Generations: Victoria Taylor Murray's Favorite Family Recipes: How it all Began (Paperback)
I'm a kind of glitzy girl who loves to dress up and be glamourous, so it's a surprise to people who first meet me that I really know my way around a kitchen. As my hubby always says, "That girl can cook anything ... from gourmet to Southern." And I'm proud to admit that I truly enjoy cooking. Always have ...

Another thing I dearly love is my family and I'm very sentimental about family connections. The title of this cookbook intrigued me because of the family involvement, but then when I read that the author's brother is a chef who joined her in this venture, I just HAD to buy it.

I'm glad I did. I've already prepared some of the fine dishes and they smelled so good, my hubby couldn't wait to sit down to dinner. He's raving to all the neighbors about this cookbook too.

Thanks to both Taylors for the fine dining experiences. We look forward to many more, and I'm baking several of the yummy pastries for our church brunch on Father's Day.
