Review by: tucker (Karl)
Dated: 10th of December, 2006
I LOVE food books... especially ones with a variety of foods to try. Books that focus on one particular theme tend to leave me cold, so it was witrh great pleasure that I flicked through this one.
Of all the recipes, the one that caught my attention the most would have to have been the "Super Duper Louise Cake" on page 130... I have always enjoyed this delightful slice, despite my lack of enjoyment of most berries. Yeah, strange I agree, but theat's the way it goes. However, one recipe that caught my eye for a different reason was the Kaffir lime chicken kebabs. I have never managed to make a decent kebab mix that survives cooking, and this one look divine, and is on the menu for the next time I feel experimental... IF we ever get any decent BBQ weather!
Overall, I would say this would be an excellent addition to any culinary wannabe's library. Even experienced cooks would probably find something new in here... a new twist on a classic dish (the 4-Cheese Baked Maccaroni on page 70 for example) so it's worth a read through if nothing else.
Random listing from 'Books'...
Angry and defiant, thirteen year old Devlin believes he's unwanted. He's fed up with changing schools and foster homes, and decides to run away from his foster-uncle's farm. But then he meets a horse about to become dog tucker and a deception unravels....
This is a story about making choices, and of discovering how hope can lie in unlikely places.
