Canal House Cooks Every Day Hardcover – 25 Oct. 2012

To begin with, this is a gorgeous book, and when you open it up, we find beautiful photos and even better recipes. These are recipes that can be made everyday. The recipes are organized by month and day, with remarks on how the recipe was developed. Sometimes it feels like the authors are old friends, and we are in the middle of conversations.One big warning, do not start to read this cookbook if you are hungry. Yes, I said read the cookbook, which is how any good cookbook should be looked at. I start at the beginning where most authors give us theirreasons for writing the book. This opens their world for us to see their personality and gives us warnings on how to read the cookbook. Organization is important to me, and I liked that the recipes here are organized by month and day. I went directly to the winter section to ascertain my first recipe. These are the kinds of recipes that excite me, foods that I might have handy and would not have to run to the market.I had not read the authors blog, in fact did not know the authors at all. This book was recommended to me. I will follow the authors, and peruse this cookbook at a more leisurely pace.Recommended. prisrob 01-07-18

When first available, I checked this book out many times from the public library. I adore the photographic art in this volume, and it is well printed too. No out of focus cheap production here. The recipes are approachable from within the skill sets of new cooks, as well as those of us with years of practice. While the gorgeous simplicity of these recipes may not always appeal to the snobbish foodie, they shine well for those of us not wishing to wait weeks obtaining exotic ingredients, in order to produce a gourmet eating experience.

Es un placer de tocarlo con una tapa de terciopelo, papel de calidad y fotos preciosos. Está escrito en ingles. Volveré de comprar de esa editorial (Andrews McMeel); desde luego tengo dos libros mas de esa editorial ambos son de nom nom paleo.

Absolutely beautiful, seasonal recipes that you will want to make. Recipes for all different levels of cooks. Try the Pork Salmoriglio, I literally had people in tears at my dinner party.

Just when I thought that nothing can be better or equal to after Ottolenghi, I have to say that this is it.Great cook book with easy to follow recipes, no unnecessary complicated ingredients, filed with new ideas. Made a few dishes already and will go back and back. I love that it's not fussy and pretentious. Highly recommend. If it's too expensive, look for the used one. You will not regret.

I got my daughter a copy of  Canal House Cooks Every Day . What the heck - she had it on her wish list.I read through the table of contents, and checked a few recipes. I'm getting one for me.This book is a collection drawn from the 6 smaller Canal House books. Recipes are clustered around seasonal themes and fresh ingredients. Nice illustrations. (A hardbound cookbook looks nice, but will it last?)My daughter really likes the book. She's made a few meals from it already. Her comments are that the instructions are pretty well complete - no advanced skills needed - and the prep/cook times are very accurate. Canal House Cooks Every Day
