I can't wait for it to snow! This cookbook has me
pining for chilly nights and hot chocolate! The
recipes are straightforward and delicious. I've never
had such an easy time with fondue--and the Green
Mountain version is great. I highly recommend the
Pan-roasted steaks. This is the best way I've ever
tried for making perfect steak at home. (I tried the
15 minute mac & cheese for fun and I wish I made more)
There are lots of quick dessert recipes, but if
you've got the time make the Sticky toffee pudding!
Ah, if only it were January...

I bought this book about 3 weeks ago and have already made at least 10 items from it... some of them two or three times. All of the recipes I've tried so far are great. Some of my favorites are the beef stew, Vermont risotto, sour cream muffins and Rustic Apple-Pear pie. All of the recipes are very easy to follow as well. I am planning to give this book as a gift many times over!

I love skiing and food, so what could be better than a cookbook that combines both passions? The recipes are simple and delicious. I made the chicken with tarragon cream sauce and the apple crisp for a dinner party and they were huge hits. Can't wait to try the others. Next up: Pulled pork, one of my favorites. I will definitely give this book as a Christmas present to friends who love to cook.

I picked this book up and saw the the authors ski at Okemo Mt,Vermont where our family skis every weekend, so I had to check it out!! I have already made many of the recipes with great success--finally I can make an excellent calzone--at home!! authors Tina Anderson and Sarah Pinneo have put together a practical guide book including what to stock in your pantry and high altitude cooking instructions plus a wide array of easy, quick foods from appetizers to desserts. Great job, girls!!

This lovely book has absolutely gorgeous photos that will make you want to buy a ski house just to have an excuse to make them! For those without a ski house however, this book is full of wonderful, practical recipes that will warm you on a cold day and make any winter meal festive.

It's always tough to figure out meals for a weekend place - this book is an invaluable aid, full of great recipes.

I have a whole bookcase full of cookbooks, in case someday I suddenly turn into a cook. The ONLY cookbook I use on a regular basis is this one. This book enables someone with very little skill in the kitchen to whip out a fantastic meal that A) tastes great, B) looks beautiful, C) didn't mess up the whole kitchen making it, and D) was fairly easy to accomplish. I hope to see more from these authors in the future...

Wonderfully easy recipes with ingredients you'll have in your cupboards. The recipes we've tried so far have been great.

This cookbook is the first one I reach for when I head into the kitchen. The recipes are extremely easy to follow (and fun to read!), and most importantly, super yummy! The book is also beautiful to look at - I've already stocked up on copies for holiday gifts :-) Enjoy - you won't be disappointed.

Since I live in Norway, I hesitated for only a second when I decided to use this cookbook in August to try some recipes. I loved almost all the recipes I tried: ham and cheddar breakfast strata, golden granola bars (amazing!!), black bean quesadillas (also amazing!), kettle corn, black bean dip, hearty lasagne, chili-spiced salmon, cider-maple pork shoulder, roasted sweet potato fries, vermont risotto, fabulously fudgy cocoa brownies (too easy to be so good!), chocolate chip pan cookies, peanut butter cookies, gingerbread, and hot cocoa.
The other recipes I tried and liked (but not loved) were: spaghetti carbonara, penne alla vodka, sauce bolognese, roasted pork loin with cherry balsamic pan sauce, roasted brussels sprouts with bacon.
Besides the desserts being absolutely amazing, they were easy to mix together with just a wooden spoon - not usually an easy feat for cookie recipes, but with these recipes, it was perfect.
There were also a few "alternate" recipes along with the main recipes. For instance, the sweet kettle corn recipe had an alternate "peppery" recipe - so it wasn't just changing one little ingredient. This simple alternate had me inspired to try my own variations too and I ended up falling in love with kettle corn because of this book!
