5.0 out of 5 starsSo you have a fig tree...
By J. A Magill VINE VOICE on September 21, 2006
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
After buying a house with a large fig tree in the winter, my wife and I were astounded to see the size of the crop that appeared come the summer. So what do you do after you've begged all of your friends to come over and take bags of figs home, made fig-strawberry jam, eaten figs with cheese until you can't any more, and still have piles on the tree and higher piles on the ground? You run out and buy the Fig Heaven cookbook of course! With 70 excellent recipes, you will surely find many an excellent idea, from fig pinenut pasta to fig,green tomato, purple onion salad. Of course, you will still have enough figs so that your friends can take home all they want, but you will also fill your summer table with delectable dishes!

5.0 out of 5 starsFabulous Figs
By Jessica Ferguson VINE VOICE on July 6, 2004
Format: Hardcover
An absolutely incredible book on figs - from the mythical and biblical history to the botany and cultivation to the recipes, Fig Heaven is the definitive fig cookbook. For those of us without access to fresh figs on a regular (if ever) basis, Simmons supplies recipes that utilize a number of dried figs that are available year round in most larger grocery and specialty stores. Recipes are easy to follow and very good! From simple salads, desserts and even preserves to my favorite dinner (chicken, couscous, and dried fig salad with toasted almonds)Simmons covers a range of tastes and styles.
A fabulous gift book, especially if you can give it along with a young fig tree! Perfect for a new home owner or newlywed!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Book, Great Author
By Rebecca on August 5, 2009
Format: Hardcover
I attended a class taught by the author of this book that included 6 different fig recipes. All were delicious, and Marie Simmons clearly knows her stuff. We were served tasting portions of 6 different recipes, and I ate every bite (which is rare for me, because I am fairly picky about food). I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves figs (or even those who, like me, find them too sweet and oddly textured when fresh). The savory, cooked fig recipes were amazing. We had pork tenderloin with a fig marsala sauce, and I could have eaten that all day. If you have a fig tree, this book is a must-have for your kitchen!

By L. Brooks on May 29, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
What a wonderful book to add to my cookbook collection. Frest figs are not plentiful where I live but I love them! Now, thanks to this great book, I now have many inventive and delicious ways to prepare this fruit, dried or fresh-all year round! Kudos to Marie Sommons!

5.0 out of 5 starsI think I died and went to Fig Heaven!
By Patricia Tolbert on October 13, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Marie Simmons has a hit on her hands. Anyone who likes figs should own this book. Anyone who loves figs needs this book. Anyone who says they hate or don't like figs hasn't really given them a fair chance. My spouse was an anti fig person until I made the Fresh Fig Tart. Now she knows that figs can be so heavenly.

We have a fig tree and I wasn't too sure what I would do with all of those figs, especially if I was the only one eating them. From super sweet to super savory this book has something for every palate. Easy, straight forward recipes. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful recipes for fantastic figs!
By Steven Beckendorf on September 19, 2009
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This focused book provides clear, easy-to-follow recipes that really show off the wonderful flavor of figs. There's a variety of recipes - appetizers, salads, savory entrees, sweet desserts. Everything we've tried so far has been great! There is also an interesting introduction about the history, botany and cultivation of figs and a list of the many varieties. If, like me you love figs, I strongly recommend this book. We recently purchased a second copy for a friend who has a fig tree and never knew how to use all the fruit. Now she does!

3.0 out of 5 starsMediocre recipes divided between dried and fresh figs
By I Do The Speed Limit TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on January 23, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I'll bet this author does not own a fig tree.....

If you are just buying some figs at the grocery store once in a while, this book will be adequate for you. But then, you could do an internet search and come up with at least the same amount of recipes--probably more actually...Then, when you consider the author includes loads of recipes for dried figs (really a different fruit entirely), then this book's value decreases even more.

If you have a fig tree or two, or three, like we do, you will probably be disappointed with the 70 recipes in this book, especially if you have been collecting fresh fig recipes for while and are looking for something refreshing, new and exciting. These are fairly average recipes, and 70 recipes is really not that many. I was hoping for inspiration and helpful tips and facts; I did not find any of that in this cook book.

The pictures are pretty, though. I'm sorry I spent money on this book. I should have borrowed it from the library first, then I would have known. But I got carried away and excited by all the baby figs on our trees. Anticipation did me in...

And, the price of a new book is quite steep for a small book with only 70 recipes. You might want to take a look at the used books, as they are going quite cheaply. You might also want to consider why there are so many used copies available for such a low price.....

And, yes, I'm seeing all these other reviews and a lot of five-star ratings. I am an experienced cook, with three fig trees, so I just can't get excited by this book. And, yes, I will go out on a limb and give this book an average, three-star rating!
