BOOKS I HAVE READ

This is gonna be another good cookbook.  I can not wait to start cooking out of it.  I give this cookbook five stars. I would recommend this cook book to every one that cooks and likes coconuts.  It has a guide to making coconut ingredients.

It is divided by breakfast dishes, main dishes, salads and side dishes, snacks, drinks, and desserts. I like the pictures, that way I can see what the food is suppose to look like.

Both me and my husband like coconuts, so this will be used very regular.

This is another new author in my collection of cookbooks.  I give this cook book 4 stars. I would recommend this to anyone that likes to cook. 

I like the pictures that show what the recipes are suppose to look like when finished. This is good for me because I don't really like to cook, and the recipes are not really time consuming. The Healthy Mind is full of pages of recipes. This includes soups, desserts, main dishes snacks, vegetables, meat and seafood, dollops, sweet bites, and anytime foods.

The book starts out explaining how different foods can help and then goes into a list of what these foods are.  This is a great guide to eating healthy.   Rebecca Katz  gives some science on the foods and how they effect the body.

"I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review."

This is another new author.  The book is beautifull put together. I give this cookbook five stars. I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

The cook book has four sections,  braising, roasting, grilling, and foundations and finishes. I love the pictures of the dishes that is cooked. There are quiet a few recipes that look complicated.  I look forward to trying some of the recipes.

I like that he goes into detail with his recipes.  There are alot of recipe ingredients that I have never heard of. So it will be interesting to try these dishes.

I received this cookbook from Blogging for Books, for my honest opinion.

This is another cookbook author I have.  The cookbook is very pretty on the outside, and the pictures are great.  I give this cookbook 4 stars. I would highly recommend this cookbook for everyone that loves to cook.

There are recipes for gluten-free GF, vegetarians V, and vegans V. The last V has a dot in between the top of it. I love collecting cook books, especially with pictures to go with it.. I love having pictures of what I cook so I know what the dish is suppose to look like.  This cookbook is divided into diferrent sections: Breakfast, snacks and small plates, salads and seasons, soups and stews, pastas and rissottos, vegetables and sides, weekends and holidays.

The only thing that I dislike about the cookbook, is the small size lettering. It could stand to be a little bigger. Not everyone can see the small text.

This is another new author, I can't wait to try some of his recipes. I love that he also has pictures of the dishes. I give this cookbook five stars. I would highly recommend this cookbook for any one that loves chili.

He has recipes for beans and no beans. He many recipes using all different kinds of meat. The book is divided into four sections: Chili's Family Tree, Tex-Mex Traditions, Chili Road Trip and Modern and Vegetarian Chilies.

There is also a guide to peppers and chili powders. I love chili with either conbread or grill cheese sandwiches, or maybe just saltine crackers.

I like this cookbook .   It has beautiful photos. The recipes are well written and simple to follow . The ingredients are easy to find  and the results are spectacular. I highly recommend this cookbook. I give this cookbook 5 stars. 

This cookbook is divided into seven groups, breakfast goods,cookies and bars,fruit desserts, custardy cakes and puddings, everyday cakes, special occasion cakes, and savory baked goods.

Some of the recipe names and some of the ingredients names is hard to pronounce, and I don't know what they are.

This is another new author cookbook.  I love all my new author cookbooks.  I rate this cookbook a five, from the front cover to the back cover. I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone that loves to cook.

I like that they arranged the cookbook into sections, one pot meals, mains and sides, sunrise eats, sweet treats, beverages, and all things smooth and crunchy.  I like that they have fun with the recipes.  I like the section on the special mention foods.  Some of them I had never heard of. 

I will probably use the one pot meal section the most.  I am not one to want to spend all night in the kitchen cooking.  I love that pictures of the recipes.  They look absolutely delicous.  I can't wait to get started on these recipes.

This is a first for this author, and hopefully not the last.  I an't wait to start using some of these recipes.  If I can make a meal and use five ingredients, I am all for it.  I can not stand for to long at a time, so this might be a life saver for me.  I give it five stars. I would recommend this book to any one.

I am glad that he organized the cook book by season.  That will help alot.

This is another new author. I give this book four stars. I would recommend it to anyone. She starts off with her baking tips, and what epuipment she uses. She has each chapter named after a spice and all recipes in that chapter will have that spice in all of them.

She says that all her recipes will tell a story, most about her family. She lists most of the ingredients and what they are and what they are made of. Most of them, I have not heard of, so I will have to check out the grocery store to see if they have those particular items. I would never have even thought of mixing of these ingredients together.

I look forward to trying some of these recipes. It is a good thing my husband will eat anything.

This is another new author for me.  I give this book 5 stars. I would highly recommend this cookbook.  It has beautiful pictures in it.

The cook book has only three chapters, skillet fried, deep fried, and combination fried, but they are loaded with recipes.  She goes into detail about picking a chicken and size. She also shows step by step how to cut up a whole chicken.  That is something I have never been able to do and get it right. 

I can not wait to try some of these recipes.  My husband is not fond of chicken, but I bet if I try some of these he will like them.
