Summary: Terrific, innovative recipes - my "most used book"
Review: This is a very unique cookbook filled with great recipes -- plus fun stories of the restaurants -- The Frog and The Commissary and their owners.My copy of this book if literally falling apart from years of hard use -- of 35 cookbooks, I probably use this one 20% of the time!

Summary: Fabulous cookbook!
Review: To be honest, I almost hate recommending this book because my understanding it it's going out of print, and I can always think of one more person I want to buy it for, and I will hate when it's not available. It's in my top five cookbooks. Try the Siamese Chicken Curry with Broccoli and Peanuts and wait for the accolades. The changes I make are: (1) I do not use half-and-half, I use skim milk. (Never substitute coconut milk). (2) Blanch a pound of carrots and add it to the recipe. I have never made a bad recipe out of this book yet. I have two copies, and they are BOTH falling apart! Enjoy.

Summary: Fabulous food and fun to read
Review: Well, it's true that this is not the book you want to cook from on a routine basis. Most recipes use butter, oil, cream. But the tastes are simply outstanding and many of the recipes will become your favorite "special occasion" standbys. Particularly good are the pistachio-encrusted, boursin-filled chicken breasts, the thai beef salad, the two curry recipes (one chicken and one beef), and the chocolate-coffee-walnut chip muffins.

Summary: yes, this is really the BEST cookbook ever
Review: When we lived in Philly, Frog, the Commisary, and Eden were definitely on our top 10 list. The recipes in this book bring that back for us every time. These recipes cannot be beat. My friends have been BEGGING for the recipes for years: eggplant capponata, carrot cake, chocolate killer cake-just to name a few. I am so glad to see this in print again so that we don't have to be tempted to photocopy.
