This is a very nice Junior League Collection of Recipes in this 135 Page Hardback book! I love it when reviewers take the time to list several of the various recipes that I will find in a book, after all isn't this what we all want to know? So this is what I'm going to do, some of the many recipes you will find in "From Raindrops To Roses" are:
Newport Shrimp with Roasted Pepper and Horseradish Dip, Hawthorne Avenue Black Bean Soup, Reedsport Wild Rice, Cauliflower with Prosciutto and Swiss Cheese, Couch Street Scallops with Saffron Sauce, Filet Mignon with Balsamic Glaze and Goat Cheese, Blueberry French Toast, Crab and Artichoke Frittata, Northwest's Best Oatmeal Cookies, Heavenly Ginger Creme Brulee, Mrs. Stolee's Rum Cake, Fiesta Bowl Chicken Soup, Tarragon Roasted Potato Wedges, Fish Tacos with Guacamole and Corn Salsa, Sellwood Black Bean Lasagna, Double Chocolate Cherry Drops, Baked Brie Quesadillas with Mango and Avacado Salsa, Crater Lake Coleslaw, Marinated Artichoke and Potato Salad, Sun Kissed Potatoes with Saffron, Columbia River Grilled Salmon with Blueberry Salsa, Herbed Grilled Halibut, Cannon Beach Beer Can Chicken, Burnside Baby Backs, Apricot and Blueberry Chicken, Penne Pasta with Summer Asparagus and Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Almond Cake with Strawberry Sauce, Blackberry Ice Cream Pie, Oregon Blackberry Vodka Lemonade, Sauvie Island Tomato Soup with Basil Cream, Mixed Greens with Apples Pears Pecans and Poppy Seed Dressing, Belmont Couscous, Farmer's Market Chanterelle Fettuccine, Rogue River Cedar Planked Salmon in Sweet and Sour Dill Sauce, Apple Stuffed Pork Loin with Raspberry Sauce, Oven Roasted Halibut with Fennel Tomatoes and Basil, Waterfront Smoked Salmon Quiche, Golden Pumpkin Pancakes, Pumpkin and White Chocolate Drops, Umatilla Apple Cake, Fireside Shrimp Dip, Spinach and Pomegranate Salad, Toasted Hazelnut Sweet Potatoes, Herbed Potato Souffle, Roasted Acorn Squash with Harvest Apples and Currants, Black Cherry Tea Truffles with Hazelnuts, Tiramisu Delicioso, First Night Chocolate Torte, Pear Tart, Crab and Chanterelle Chowder, Hazelnut and Gorgonzola Salad, Crab Cakes with Red Pepper Cream Sauce, Chinese Gate Pork Wraps, Vegetable Panini, Duniway Chocolate Sheet Cake, Sweet Home Cookies, Oatmeal Spice Cake with Caramel Pecan Glaze and Stumptown Mocha Cheesecake, just to name a few! This should give you a very good idea of what you can find in this lovely cookbook! Enjoy!

I bought this book a few days ago. It is already a very favorite cookbook (and I have quite a collection). It is one of those rare cookbooks where you want to try almost every recipe. Many of the recipes are native Northwest cuisine (yes, we do have our own cuisine in this neck of the woods) but it also includes recipes that span foods from the the Southwest to Europe.

Well worth the money. Highly recommended.

Raindrops to Roses is a nice book. It shares lovely recipes and photos. I was expected a book of greater size. It would make a fine gift.

THE BOOK WAS JUST WHAT THE SELLER SAID IT WAS AND ARRIVED IN EXCELLANT SHAPE
