5.0 out of 5 stars
Clever, practical, and great to know info,
By Lucy Stuart (Orlando, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Storm Gourmet: A Guide to Creating Extraordinary Meals Without Electricity (Paperback)
I loved this book. Of course, there are more serious situations that are apparent with deadly storms, but there is great information in this book and it is displayed in an easy to read format. I now know that with a little preparation, my family and I can be ahead of the game and eat healthy even when the power is out. I've already used some of these recipes for family gatherings and a camping trip too. I keep it with my cooking books.

Great for Florida, but--,
By fansmom (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Storm Gourmet: A Guide to Creating Extraordinary Meals Without Electricity (Paperback)
This book was written by a Floridian, and there are several recipes in this book that would only do for Floridians. My power is more likely to go out during a blizzard or ice storm than a hurricane, which means that avocados and fresh herbs are out of the question. ("Quick, run to the store for avocados and cilantro! There's a blizzard coming!")
