Food or My Favorite Cookbook

Food: The Definitive Guide

Author: Jill Davies

Almost everyone has an opinion on the food they eat or don't eat. We acquire these opinions from a host of sources starting with what we ate as children. Later in life many other influences develop and change our point of view. The accuracy and nature of the information upon which our choices are based have become critical to the relationship between health and diet.

My Favorite Cookbook: A Collection of Recipes

Author: Theresa M Cross

Great cooking begins with a passion for great food! This cookbook is a "romance" novel for those who are passionate about the food they serve to those they love.

The meals are not complicated; however, the majority are somewhat exotic, flavorful, and delicious. The recipes are derived from the award-winning author's eclectic background in French, Moroccan, Italian, and Spanish cuisines.

Each of the 200 recipes is preceded by a short history or story of the recipe which entices the reader even further. Examples of recipes include: patй mousse with bacon, potato enchiladas with chipolte cream sauce, lamb tangine with prunes and almonds, pork tenderloin with rosemary cream sauce, cinnamon bread custard pudding, and three layer lemon pie, just to name a few. The book includes recipes for appetizers, beverages, soups, salads, meats, poultry, seafood, breads, rolls, pies, pastries, desserts, cakes and cookies. It also includes helpful hints, cooking tips, nutritional information, and much more.

My Favorite Cookbook is small and spiral bound, therefore, following recipes is convenient and simple. It is beautifully designed & illustrated and includes washable covers and section dividers.
