Editorial Reviews

Review

"Lovely and practical: That's the rare standard met in Jeanne Kelley's "Blue Eggs and Yellow Tomatoes: Recipes From a Modern Kitchen Garden," The dishes pictured do look good enough to eat. Stare hard enough at the Fig and Blue Cheese Crostini for Two Seasons, and you appreciate the smart thinking of an appetizer that can work with whichever type of that fruit is available. A side dish of Brussels Sprouts With Marjoram and Pine Nuts, containing shallots and a little cream, shows a depth of creativity. And Blood Orange Granita With Vanilla Ice Cream -- which can also be made with Valencia oranges -- couldn't be simpler or more stunning."--""Washington Post," "February 27, 2008 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

“Lovely and practical: That's the rare standard met in Jeanne Kelley's Blue Eggs and Yellow Tomatoes: Recipes From a Modern Kitchen Garden. The dishes pictured do look good enough to eat. Stare hard enough at the Fig and Blue Cheese Crostini for Two Seasons, and you appreciate the smart thinking of an appetizer that can work with whichever type of that fruit is available. A side dish of Brussels Sprouts With Marjoram and Pine Nuts, containing shallots and a little cream, shows a depth of creativity. And Blood Orange Granita With Vanilla Ice Cream — which can also be made with Valencia oranges — couldn't be simpler or more stunning.”Washington Post, February 27, 2008


“Kelley (offers advice) on raising backyard hens and cultivating green garlic. Apartment dwellers with no prospect of planting pole beans and suburbanites whose tidy plots aren’t zoned for livestock will feel at a disadvantage reading these books. Even so, many of the recipes are worthwhile and most can be created with ingredients available for sale, if not in Aisle 1 at the supermarket.”The New York Time Style Magazine, Spring 2008


“The only problem with "Blue Eggs and Yellow Tomatoes," the new cookbook from Jeanne Kelley, is that you won't want to spill anything on it. That's because this beautifully designed compilation, replete with mouthwatering color photographs, looks and feels more like a coffee-table book than a recipe collection. Still, if you lug Ms. Kelley's offering into the kitchen, you won't be disappointed.”The Christian Science Monitor, April 2008


“A smart and sensible guide to cooking, in all its colors … Lovely and practical.”The Washington Post, February 2008

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicous, sophisticated, easy international food, May 31, 2008
By Brunie Feliciano (Oceanside New York) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   


I just purchased this book and I'm in love......it is a beautiful book with emphasis on simplicty, flavor, and sophisication. I love the idea of home grown foods....the full-page photography and artistic text are fabulous...we just made the chocolate chip cookies and it was fabulously delicious. I have collected many chocolate chip cookie recipes and this is the best one....although I must confess that I used good bittersweet chopped chocolate instead of the milk chocolate chips. Another great aspect of this book is that it utilizes exotic flavors and incorporates world cuisines, such as Cuban, Morocco, Greece, Middle Eastern, Mexican...the results are delicious, elegant, and contemporary. For any serious cook, this is a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Book, May 3, 2008
By Kirstie Rothauge (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a book of great recipes, tips and beautiful photographs. Whenever I look at the recipes, I can't wait to make them.
Her flavors are fresh, clean and global. I, also, appreciate that the ingredients are accessible...no searching of specialty markets for a teaspoon of an expensive ingredient. Likewise, the recipes are accurate and well thought out. If you follow her recipe, you will have a great meal.
Thank you Jeanne Kelley.
