Product Description

Feastivals Cooks at Home (published by Feastivals, Jersey City, NJ 07302, $19.95 Hardcover, Concealed Wire) provides everything you need for easy elegant entertaining and everyday meals. 128 mouthwatering recipes from the Feastivals files that have been savored by students and clients for more than 18 years are included in this collection.

Contemporary Americans express interest in eating more healthfully. Feastivals Cooks at Home emphasizes (in the chapter entitled "Think Fish!") how effortlessly and deliciously fish can be prepared, (in "Fresh and (not Always) Green") that everyone can become a salad wizard. With appetizing recipes like Millet Risotto with Wild Mushrooms, and Rice, Garbanzo and Artichoke Salad, June shows you that meatless main dishes can be easily incorporated into your family’s menus – and that you can entertain lavishly and stay healthy at the same time.

Two unusual features of Feastivals Cooks at Home are the Wine Tips that accompany every recipe, and the chapter entitled "Wine Wisdom," a primer of sorts describing the basics of wine selection and consumption.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's almost like having Chef June in the kitchen with you!, June 17, 2003

By	David Nelson, Chef2Chef.net (Steamboat Springs, Co United States) - See all my reviews

It's a "Keeper" and you should just leave it in your kitchen so you won't have to go to and from the book shelf. The "Teachers Tips are amazing! It's like she is in the kitchen with you and can read your mind. Try the Mussel Soup aith Aioli and Saffron. Wonderful!

By A Customer

If you could have only one cookbook, this would be an exceptional choice for beginning cooks. Feastivals Cooks At Home is filled with over 120 superbly written recipes that are easy to follow. The author includes variations of many recipes which encourages your own creativity. There are simple preparation ideas and each recipe denotes whether you may make it ahead and what kitchen tools are required. You also get to know the author with some anecdotes about her friendships and the origin of recipes.
