Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Any of the dishes in this book can serve as the inspiration for a meal and set off a creative chain of delicious possibilities. Fresh Green Pea Soup with Minted Yogurt Cheese is the perfect partner for Spiral Herb Bread with Chive Butter. Chicken Salad with Caper Dressing begs for a quick accompaniment like tender Big Buttermilk Biscuits. Cornmeal Popovers pair up with a savory bowl of Curried Tomato Soup. Lisa Cowden provides more than two hundred recipes for soup, salad, breads, and spreads, creating a nearly limitless set of meals for every season. Her intricate cut-paper illustrations are as artful as the food, and her meditations on art, cooking, and the seasons make this cookbook as pleasurable as it is practical.

About the Author
Lisa Cowden is coauthor of SWEETNESS AND LIGHT. Her cut-paper illustrations have appeared in many publications, including the NEW YORK TIMES. She resides in New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just another cookbook, October 30, 2000
By A Customer
This is not just another cookbook. Not only are the recipes divine, but the author's own illustrations are charming and sophisticated.

The Lemon Quick Bread recipe is worth the price of the bookÐ- Light, chewy and delicious, with a zingy lemon flavor coming from both lemon rind, and fresh lemon juice. With sweet pecans and non-fat buttermilk, this recipe was inspired by the angel of Flavor and Texture who also cares about your health! It is low-fat, low-sugar!

For anyone who really loves good food, and wants a sure thing, don't miss this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not a cookbook that will collect dust on a shelf!, February 9, 2004
By A Customer
This book is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the stomach. Beneath the pages of beautiful art, this cookbook has innovative, delicious and health conscious recipes. The Potato green chili soup has the perfect amount of spice creating rich and zesty soup that will revitalize any cold winters day. I could make comments on each and every soup, salad, bread and spread recipe in the book but you really have to try it. This cookbook is filled with luscious recipes appropriate for guests, your family or just yourself. It is great for the most novices of chefs all the way up to the experts. It is practical in that you can actually find the ingredients and it doesn't hours of preparation to make a scrumptious out of the ordinary meal. The work has really been done for you. Ladle, Leaf and Loaf is true science that compiles ingredients in the most interesting ways to create delicious meals perfect for any season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bell Tones of Taste!, December 9, 2002
By "koswan2" (PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This is an amazing book -- recipes! writing! Art! If you understand the idea & experience of "Bell Tones" in music, you will know what I mean when I say that these recipes deliver the Bell Tones of taste! Still my best gift "offering" to friends, new and old, who have not seen it yet!
