This book is a good compilation of the recipes from his TV show. Most of these you can download from the Food TV web site for free. This book just puts it all together, which is why I bought it. The recipes exemplify Emeril cooking pure and simple. As long as you follow the guidelines for "fresh" herbs, the recipes come out very good. Some can be time consuming and some are fairly easy. I labored through the Duck and Sausage Etouffee and am glad I did. I learned the different flavors of the rue. The flavors can't be beat - but it takes time. I think this is a good addition to anyone's cookbook library. I also have his New New Orleans cook book and Louisiana Real and Rustic. I have favorites in all of them. If you enjoy getting on that cutting edge of "gourmet cooking," I think you will enjoy this book.

This book follows the recipes from the earlier episodes of his Emeril Live series on the Food Network. So if you've been looking for the recipes from the TV show, this is the one for you. Definitely a good cross section of recipes, not just focusing on New Orleans cuisine.

After watching several of Emeril's shows, I decided to purchase the book. I am really glad that I did. Yes, you could probably print many of the recipes from the internet, but I have found it really interesting, as well as many more recipes, that I haven't seen on his shows. There are probably a few more than necessary nonscence photo's, and it should have more photo's of the different recipes that are in the book, but I love it just the same...The recipes are basically easy to follow.

I love Emeril and find his recipes easy to follow, even the ones that SOUND difficult. However, this cookbook was severely lacking in pictures. I'm not sure they had any pictures of FOOD--only Emeril, et al. I love a cookbook that entices you with pictures as well as content! Sometimes the pictures MAKE you want to make it!

Uncomplicated but delicious recipies. Even through all the status and hype Emeril remains down to earth and offers cookbooks which, like his shows, offer recipies busy people can use regularly. Very useful for everyday cooking.

Prime Time Emeril is a treat to the taste buds, and a traveling smorgasbord offering page after page of adventurous dining. What I liked best about this book is the introduction to each recipe giving some background information about the dish itself, but also reveals a part of Emeril as a man and a chef. The intros made me feel like Emeril is more real and more approachable than most chefs of his stature. It's a worthwhile book to own and it made a lovely present to me from my husband.

I just received "Emeril, Prime Time". I've looked through the table of contents and checked out several recipes. From what I have noticed, Emeril has done a wonderful job. The format is amazing, and the type of recipes are just what I expected. We've all watched these shows on prime time, and I'm thrilled to have them all in one place. I am sure that the recipes will surpass Emeril's usual..only the best.

The Haters of the reviews are not happy with emeril lagasse, but I Can tell you he really can cook with his great recipes, and wonderful pictures inside, this is one of the better books out there BAM!

As a huge Emeril fan.I got this book for easter.It is a really nice book and alot of great things to cook. I made some creole season(or essance)and had a blast going "BAM". its a must get book if you are a fan of Emeril and or his show

Some are difficult. I was hoping he would talk more about his excellent but short-lived sitcom. That is why I shorted the book one star. Lets all kick it up a notch and buy this book. Time to eat,delicisious Great recipes and also book brings the Greatest Chef to my home.
