Warehouse Cookbook is a beautiful work of art, and I am sure also a labor of love which all cooks can appreciate! I think that the recipes sound wonderful. In fact, I have just purchased two of the books, one to give as a gift! On the final page of the book, ideas are requested by the author. I love to cook and especially hunt for books that focus on low-cost, frugal cooking. The idea of focusing on warehouse shopping is excellent! My only suggestion, however, is that I would really love to see more day to day practical insights & how to's on a daily basis with daily type foods such as those that are hinted on pages 8 & 9, Ingredient Cooking Secrets. I would love to see a monthly menu with monthly family recipes included, like the recipe for meatloaf, and a grocery list to go along. The idea of how to utilize a box of Costco tomatoes is excellent. I would like recipes and breakdowns on many items to make cooking lowcost and affordable for families. Hope this is helpful. It is sent in not to criticize, because the book is truly a beautiful cookbook that I will treasure. But, rather, it is sent to encourage because Paula Easley obviously has alot to share with others. Also, I would love to know more about her adventures and life in Alaska. I hope Paula publishes a second book because I would surely purchase it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A guided tour for an amateur-My (social) security blanket., August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Paula Easley's Warehouse Food Cookbook (Paperback)

Being recently reestablished as a single and relocated adult I need all the help I can get in rebuilding both my social graces and enviroment. A small lakeside cabin in rural Georgia does not match the authors isolation in bush Alaska. However, similar challenges of supply and storage do exist. It's 50 miles to the nearest Sam's or Costco. Not over snow and ice covered tundra, but over even more dangerous back roads and freeways into downtown Atlanta. Ms. Easley's book has been a great help not only in planning and purchasing, but most certainly in presentation.
