5.0 out of 5 stars Stunningly Simple, Extraordinary Food, August 22, 2000

Mara Bannard - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Blue Strawbery Cookbook (Cooking Brilliantly Without Recipes) (Paperback)

This cookbook was a total surprise to me. The style is witty and irreverent. The concept is terrific and the inspiration Chef Haller gives to cooks is brilliant! Just check out the suggestion for a chicken dinner for one -- stunningly simple and totally wonderful. This cookbook is a "must own" for anyone who cares about food. I highly recommend it. It's one of the best in my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun & adventure with food, June 13, 2001

catherine skowron (north truro, ma United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Blue Strawbery Cookbook (Cooking Brilliantly Without Recipes) (Paperback)

I bought this book after a friend cooked us a meal using the "recipes". Its fun to read and an adventure to try using his non-recipe style of cooking with unusual combinations of ingredients. My husband loved the results too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Food Memories, November 4, 2001

Gloria J. Florimbi (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Blue Strawbery Cookbook (Cooking Brilliantly Without Recipes) (Paperback)

I discovered my copy of The Blue Strawberry Cookbook which has been in my possession since 1978 and copyrighted in l976.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that James Haller and his restaurant are still giving culunary experiences, the likes of which I will never forget. It is as fabulous a book now as it was then and the pork chop recipes on p. 65 are superb. His style is casually elegant. I am so happy I will be able to revisit his recipes. I am also so impressed that James has written cookbooks for the seriously sick. Goood work.
