5.0 out of 5 stars Really useful book, November 24, 2005
This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Roasting: Recipes and techniques for delicious oven-cooked meals (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I wanted to learn how to make those mouth watering roasted dishes one sees on TV. The book has tons of recipes sorted in different categories like starters, fish, poultry, meats, vegetables, etc. The book starts by explaining the basics of roasting and the utensils you'll need. The recipes are easy to follow and explicit enough to know how wide to cut the ingredients for example. All this without extending more than necessary. I particularly like the BIG, colorful and sharp pictures that come with every recipe. It has helped me get an idea on how the dish should look like. Not all steps have a picture, only those that are prone to confusion do.

I have made several recipes from the book and the feedback has been very positive, and I'm not an expert or anything. Based on this I'm thinking of buying more books from this author and/or publisher.

5.0 out of 5 stars What An Excellent Roasting Book, May 19, 2009

Tan Tian Sin (Kuala Lumpur, Selangor Malaysia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Roasting: Recipes and techniques for delicious oven-cooked meals (Hardcover)
Excellent book. My wife is very happy upon receiving it during her birthday because she can't find an excellent roasting book in our country's book stores. She has been looking for almost 2 years before I surprised her with this book. She now starting to try most of the recipes and I am enjoying her fruitful roasted dish, yum-yum.
