For those of us in love with pears, this is it! Beautifully photographed and essayed work on the variety and use of this fruit.

For the different, try the Asian Pear rounds with Smoked SalmonCream Cheese or the Wine-Poached Salmon with Pears and Shallots.

If you're a pear afficanado as I am, try and find yourself this little gem!

When I first unwrapped this book, my mouth dropped open in amazement! The first thing that strikes you about it is how gorgeous the photographs are....but as you read the recipes, you realize that there is no let-down here. They sound just as delectable as the photos are beautiful.
A delight for those who love to cook, an inspiration for those who want to cook, and even if you don't cook at all, this is a beautiful book to have!!

This review is from: Pears: A Country Garden Cookbook (Hardcover)

I own this and all the Country Garden series of cookbooks. They are all visually gorgeous, and all written by professional chefs. Each book surrounds a featured ingredient which is seasonal. I must admit that many of the recipes could be considered "chi-chi," but for cookbook collectors, this series is really wonderful. I'm sorry they stopped adding to these books, and very sorry that they are going out of print.
