4.0 out of 5 starsA night of Memorable Recipes...
By Hawkeyes on June 11, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Having spent many happy hours shopping in Sur la Table over the years, Renee Behnke's credentials intrigued me into selecting this book. After reading "Memorable Recipes," I took her subtitle "to share with family and friends" to heart. I invited 2 of my closest friends to "cook" through some of the recipes! We started with Prosciutto Pinwheels, Pickled Shrimp with Capers and the Radish and Fennel Salad (it's spring and the radishes at our Farmer's market look like exquisite Easter eggs!) The pinwheels were the hands down winners. The recipe makes quite a lot which is perfect for a cocktail party but one of the other perks Renee gives the cook in each recipe is instruction to make each dish ahead. We didn't need all the pinwheels for our dinner party but the second half baked up perfectly the following night for a family hors d'oervres Sunday supper! We then prepared the Salmon with Wild Mushroom Sauce and again thanks to our savvy author opted for the Orzo with Sugar Snap Peas. Renee gives menu options based on seasonability of the ingredients! Our fall choices were Tiny Potatoes with Hot Bacon Dressing or Roasted Pepper and Corn Spoon Bread. My favorite farmer had sweet and crisp peas and my girlfriend declared the orzo her favorite dish of the entire evening! That is saying something when you read about dessert! We included our whole families for this meal and no one can go wrong with chocolate so the Sunken Chocolate Cupcakes were served warm from the oven with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. The three of us had a "summit meeting" over coffee and cocktails and all agreed this is a cookbook worth having in anyone's kitchen!Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsMemorable Recipes for Memorable Parties or Meals
By Victoria Eiland on May 19, 2009
Format: Hardcover
I love cookbooks. I'm in the process of collecting more, so receiving Memorable Recipes was a very pleasant surprise. Even better, the book shows the evidence of an author who loves food and a food stylist who knows how to present it well (seriously, some of the pictures had a very artistic quality to them). The recipes are all items that could be easily prepared at home with a little planning and forethought. The authors have included a "how to" section in the back that includes directions for several techniques used in the various recipes in the event that the user is not familiar with the process.

Renee Behnke is the President Emeritus of Sur la Table. In her career she has had the pleasure of dining at some of the world's best restaurant and chatting with the best chefs. She has also had the joy of working for Sur la Table, a Seattle institution. Sur la Table is known for their quality ingredients and, more importantly, for the cooking classes that they offer within the store. This experience gives Ms. Behnke a unique vantage point to write a cookbook about how to cook lovely meals for family and friends.

One of the things I like about this cookbook is the fact that it contains items that are a little fancier than what most people bang out every night, but it's still accessible. There's a feeling that the authors wanted to give the reader thumbing through something to aspire to. This is a cookbook that can be used when throwing a dinner party and when making a nice weekday/weekend meal.

As an eager home chef, I'm looking forward to putting some of these recipes to the test, but with the Sur la Table name backing it, I'm expecting success. If you are looking to give this as a gift, it would make a nice housewarming or wedding gift.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful Cookbook, it will make your mouth water just looking at the photos
By NatalieBurl on September 18, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a great cookbook that features some representative dishes from different countries i.e. paella from Spain, Tagine from Morocco, etc. I've always enjoyed reading cookbooks with recipes from different countries and ethnicities and feel that I've done some traveling in that part of the world while I'm reading. This cookbook entails some international travel experiences as well as Pacific NW dishes and family remembrances.
Side dishes and other accompaniments are covered and wine suggestions as well.
It is delightfully and personably communicated with the history behind various dishes, and easy to follow instructions.

5.0 out of 5 starsA cookbook you can actually use!
By MM on June 28, 2015
Format: Hardcover
I love this cookbook and every time I make something from one of these recipes, be it Prosciutto pinwheels, caramelized onion tart, salad Nicoise, , goat cheese stuffed tomato on linguine, paella, osso bucco, chili relleno...it always turns out perfect! Easy to follow, great flavors, and presentations.People always ask me for the recipe and I am tempted to send them the entire cookbook, it is THAT good! I am not a huge cookbook fan, looking many thing up online, but there are about 10 "go to" cookbooks I keep on a shelf and this is one of the 10!
