Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
This follow-up to Fast Food My Way (the companion volume to Pépin's long-running PBS series of the same name) offers dozens of new recipes that are easy to prepare but elegant enough for company. The first chapter, "Minute Recipes," is devoted to quick appetizers and hors d'oeuvres that often can be made from pantry staples (Pépin thinks of the supermarket as his prep cook). The recipes in the other chapters range from Bay Scallops in Mignonnette Sauce, a sort of French seviche, to Risotto with Broccoli Stems to old-fashioned Peach Melba. For most collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars A culinary grand slam, November 8, 2008
One typically encounters a diminution of quality in "follow-up" cookbooks, but that's not at all true in this instance. I'm convinced at this point that Jacques Pépin could cook an appetizing groundhog if he set his mind to do so.

Perhaps the most important facet of this cookbook is that it's a companion volume to Jacques' terrific PBS Cooking Show. The DVDs are available too: Jacques Pepin: More Fast Food My Way. While the video is both fascinating and entertaining, it's really not essential to carrying out the details of these superb recipes. The directions in the cookbook are plenty clear.

While this work is not really a foundational or general cookbook, the dishes herein will help you pull off supper when you're stumped. The book is also invaluable for those who entertain as there are some really magnificent appetizers and desserts in here.

In summary, I highly recommend this one, as I do Jacques' earlier companion volume: Fast Food My Way.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic for someone who loves flavorful food and busy career, November 1, 2008
By Genevieve Tondi Bos (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a very busy professional woman - time is a premium commodity - so cooking has in the past not been a top priority. I love excellent tasting French and Italian food and for years, like many of us, simply gave up cooking most evenings because of the time required to do the shopping, prepping and then cooking and cleaning. Yikes - it was simply more cost effective to go to restaurants - even if it meant taking it home and eating it. As many of us start to learn more about nutrition and the incredible importance of organic vegetables, fruit and meat - if we want longevity and health - we naturally realize we need to make a time investment in preparing good, healthy food. So then came how to do it without getting frustrated about the time and making sure we truly enjoy our sense of taste. As someone who has travelled so much in Europe the bar is high. So imagine my delight when I found Jacque Pepin's book - Fast Food My Way - I could not get enough - so thrilled now to have this new cook book as well. I have already hosted multiple dinner parties with real "foodies" who could not believe how easy and delicious everything tasted. So, I have probably been a major cookbook distribution channel for Jacque! I also bought the accompanying DVD's - why Because as a business person, you certainly get the importance of not just taste but presentation - so watching his preparation and presentation really made a giant difference in both my skill and confidence. On my last business trip, my airplane seatmate delivered a very quirky expression when he saw me in my biz suit - switching from updating an Excel spreadsheet to watching a DVD on how to cut and prepare smoked salmon...pretty funny. "Cooking dinner for an important client..." was my response. He smiled and nodded in sympathetic understanding. If you like butternut squash - try the soup - its is a fantastic, delicious and actually cost effective starter - as many are looking to cut costs but still want to entertain - you dont have to cut taste or quality or feel exhausted at the end of the day. Get these books and you will feel and look like a star chef! Strongly suggest practicing on dishes beffore you serve them to company however....

5.0 out of 5 stars I think like this, October 21, 2008
Jacques is my absolute favorite american chef. His recipes, with the shadows of France and Italy, entice me the way few other chefs do.

This book is beyond good, it's a continual declaration of Jacques' dedication to his art. His production quality is high, like always, and when you sit back and *read* the book, well, it hits the mark.

Which mark? How to make great food on a Tuesday night, in no time at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Bound, Falls Apart
I spilled some white wine while following a recipe, and all the surrounding pages fell out. For a cookbook to use glue that dissolves when wet for its binding is disgraceful!
