ooseberry Patch has done it again per their usual unique, and fun-filled cookbook style, which inspires from beginning to end. This cookbook is incredible, and worth every penny in price. The authors once again present a variety of delicious recipes, from people all over the world, contributing to this cookbook edition, which is added to my growing collection. There is so much that this book offers, I'm still amazed, and just looking at some of these recipes, makes you hungry.
The recipes given include: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner; Snacks; Appetizers; Soups; Desserts; Dips & Spreads; Refreshing Drinks; Sauces; And more. The Salad recipes caught our attention as we are already in Summer for AZ, so my daughter has been selecting different salad recipes, for different days of the week. The Appetizers are a sensation, and the Desserts make your mouth water. We tried the Yummy Banana Boat, and will be making it again, there's no way you can pass up this recipe. My daughter wants to try the Roasted Apple & Ice Cream, who wouldn't? At the end of this cookbook, the authors also include Questions & Answers readers may have, and there's a long index of delicious recipes.
Most of the recipes are simple, and many are great for the Budget. Each recipe includes the number of servings, directions, and helpful tips. I am anxious to make the Homemade Ice Cream, and the Homemade Burger Buns, and both recipes are easy-to-prepare. We made the Grilled Chicken Marinade, and The Georgia Peach Smoked Chops, absolutely divine! In addition: Recipes include: Pot Roast; Spare-ribs; Fish; Sandwiches; Homemade Relish; Parmesan Bread; Pan-Fried Corn Fritters; And More.
We made the Pork And Peach Kabobs, and the Blackberry Skillet Pancakes, both were very tasty, and satisfying. Recipes also include: Vegetables; Pasta; Stew; Tunamelt; Seasonings And Dips; Different Spreads; Meatloaf; Soup; Different Types Of Burgers; Chili; And more.
I selected the Sizzling Bacon Asparagus, and the Jalapeno Poppers for my weekend choices, and my daughter selected the Butter And Herb Grilled Shrimp, and the Garlic Cilantro Chicken as her choices. We will leave Updates with new recipes we select, and there will be many more. What a fantastic cookbook, and where we live, we can use it all year long! I will indeed be gifting this cookbook to friends and family on special occasions. Highly recommended! |
