5.0 out of 5 starsGetting Into The Soul of Big Dinners
By rodboomboom HALL OF FAME on February 10, 2004
Format: Hardcover
This is neat concept, that of "big dinner." Tom and his wife both knew what this was all about, everyone has their own job. Now, for Tom it means that everybody contributes something to the meal. What a great idea!
He starts it with helping us home chefs to "Basics" that is making stuff in advance and saving it, e.g. stocks,dough, etc. so that it comes in handy in putting together spectacular dinners.
Additionally cool about this are the some thirteen feats that are Tom's big dinner gang's favs. There is the rarified Wine Cellar Dinner with Chocolate Crepes for the finale, or the inviting "Merlot Release Picnic." This has as its continuous theme, you guessed it, "merlot." Included is yummy "Lamb Chop T-bones in crushed cherry marinade with tarragon mustard," with merlot in the marinade. This is great picnic or barbie fare.
The book is warmly written with great color photography and source info and wine & drink suggestions galore. Big dinners will be advanced significantly and funnier with this aid.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Great Cookbook for Ambitious Chefs
By Elizabeth Hendry VINE VOICE on February 29, 2004
Format: Hardcover
Tom's Big Dinners is a big ambitious cookbook, which will be perfect for all ambitious chefs out there who have plenty of friends and kitchen space. Tom Douglas has planned 10 wonderful dinners, complete with the wine and mixed drinks. The dinners are all fabulously planned and wonderfully varied. You could please vegetarians and carnivores at each of these feasts. These recipes, however, are not really for the kitchen novice, but certainly are something to set your sights on if you are one. Douglas provides some helpful "prepare ahead" tips, but not too many shortcuts. He tells wonderful stories about all of these meals--they certainly have worked for him.

5.0 out of 5 starsGorgeous book with great recipes for the ambitious chef
By Lulu on November 24, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I love this book. Tom's a legend in the Seattle area. You'll see his first book reviewed by many Northwesterners. I prefer this book to his first. It's beautiful, well laid out and has a wealth of information for those who seriously love to cook...or beginners who are at least willing to get put some effort into a few spectacular dishes. I find the variety of recipes accessible to people with varying skills in the kitchen. I have had about a dozen dishes from this book (made by me and friends) and each has been fabulous. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 starsTimeless recipes with Northwest ingredients
By Stefohnee on August 1, 2009
Format: Hardcover
I've had this book for years and had only made desserts until now because the recipes were less intimidating than the multi-page "big dinners" that take hours of preparation and 85 different ingredients. The blueberry cornmeal tart is a favorite in my house. But this week I've made a few different things from the book and they've all been REALLY delicious. Tom Douglas has a knack for Greek cooking, as his Greek restaurant here in Seattle (Lola) is delish. So I tried his Greek-themed dinner the other night and it was a hit in my house. The yogurt sauce is delicious (make sure you get some good Greek yogurt for it - I tried it with regular yogurt before and it's not as good) and the grilled shrimp and garlic-stuffed black olives skewers are great. grilled lamb skewers with red wine and honey glaze was also really delicious even after marinating only for a couple of hours (as opposed to overnight as the recipe calls for). Oh, and the smashed Greek potatoes ARE SO GOOD! Holy cow, I never want to eat a different potato. They're even better homemade than the ones you can get at his Greek restaurant, Lola. Yum!

I also made the fresh corn crepes with goat cheese and roasted peppers, ancho chile sauce (YUM), avocado-tomatillo salsa, and fresh corn salsa. I'm not a huge pepper fan, and roasting/peeling the peppers can be very time-consuming, but the people I made this for LOVED IT. And I must say, it was really delicious. The ancho chile sauce is SO good, kind of sweet and spicy thanks to the orange juice it's made with. The crepes are easy and tasty, and can be made ahead, the fresh corn salsa is yummy, and the avocado-tomatillo salsa is fresh and a perfect complement to all the other parts of the meal. Definitely read through all the recipes before you make them, though. It took me about 1.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsFresh Corn Crepes (drool)
By JP on November 17, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I have Tom's Big Dinners cookbook checked out from the library, but tonight after making the entire fresh corn crepes dinner (with goat cheese & roasted peppers, ancho chile sauce, avocado-tomatillo salsa, & fresh corn salsa), I want my own copy of the book to try out some other recipes. The crepes are so good that it's hard to not just eat them up and skip the rest of the meal. ' Judging from the one dinner I've made, these recipes definitely take some time; but, for me, they also infused some much-needed enthusiasm into meal-prep time as I stepped outside my normal box and made something new that was also exceptionally delicious.

I have way too many cookbooks---it's time to thin them out. Tom's big dinners has a special spot on the book shelf. It's one of the best, I can't wait to try many of the recipes--only trouble is I can't decide which one to try first. EXCELLENT !!!!
