5.0 out of 5 stars You must own this book, it lives up to its name!, May 15, 2001

I got this book as a door prize and it was the best prize that I have EVER gotten. My mouth watered as I flipped through the book. The meals are simple to make and don't use a lot of hard to find ingredients but they taste magnificient! It will seem like you spent hours in the kitchen but you didn't. There is a wide assortment of interesting recipes, perfect for company and the family. It is a testament to the great food of the Pacific Northwest.

I loved it so much I bought copies for my whole family. Though, I did think twice about sharing my amazing cooking secret. This book is beautifully illustrated and worth much more than the price. It also supports a great organization (the Junior League). I am very picky when it comes to cookbooks and this is one of the best ones I have (and I have MANY). You will turn to it again and again. Treat yourself to this book, you will thank me for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Cookbook On Earth, Period., December 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Simply Classic: A New Collection of Recipes to Celebrate the Northwest (Hardcover)

An avid cookbook collector and hostess who loves to entertain, from casual get-togethers to elegant affairs, this is far and above the best cookbook that I've ever had. I've had the opportunity to try out most of the recipes in the book and haven't found even one that falls beneath "superior". If my house caught on fire and I had to run back in to grab one thing...it would be this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for entertaining and great salmon recipes!, January 26, 2001

I turn to this cookbook again and again when it comes time to entertain. I think I've tried just about every recipe in the book, and they are all terrific. Even though the focus is on ingredients generally associated with the Pacific Northwest, the recipes are truly universal and you can find most of the ingredients anywhere. The food isn't trendy or pretentious, it's simply delicious. I particularly recommend the Sesame Salmon - an elegant presentation that is surprisingly easy to prepare. It is my absolute favorite way to prepare salmon, and that means alot coming from a Seattlite.
