Summary: First cookbook I turn to when I want something new!
Review: For variety and interesting dishes, this is one of the best cookbooks I've ever seen. The flavor mixtures are creative, the recipes simple and the ingredients are common enough that they are usually in my frig or cupboard. My husband (a bit of a gourmand) and my 6 year old daughter have loved everything that I've made from the book. I bought a used copy for $10, which turned out to be autographed by the two authors. My only wish is that 1) it was printed in a spiral-bound version, and 2) the authors produce a second book soon.

Summary: This cook book has great recipes and is a great read.
Review: I love this cook book. I love reading it. I love cooking from it. If you are looking for something different to read or to cook, this is the book for you. The Black Bean soup is the best I have found. The layered meat loaf is wonderful. The authors' commitment to good food and good community is inspiring, and reminds me of the role food - its preparation and its consumption - can play in making the world a better place.

Summary: very sloppily edited
Review: Mistakes galore-i.e. in one recipe 5 ounces of sliced wild mushrooms makes 2 cups and in another 1/4 pounds(sic) makes 8 cups. The recipe for veal glace is given as page 000, indicates that the vein can be pulled from a cooked shrimp and so it goes.

Review: The book allows a person to prepare a special meal for two or a formal dinner for twelve. It can accomodate both kids and adults alike. Also, with its multi-cultural recipes you can enjoy different meals and never get bored with the food you are preparing. In addition to good food and easy to follow directions, you get a story behind some of the influences that have shaped the both the restaurant and the cook book. I would highly recommend this cook book to anyone. It would make a fine addition to anyone's cooking reference collection.
