Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook

My book arrived promptly. It’s in great condition. I’m happy.

I received this book

Great recipes. Was expecting illustrations like the Chez Panisse Cafe cookbook, but was disappointed.

As an accomplished cook I have a fairly good knowledge of food however many of the recipes require expensive and/ or hard to find ingredients. I doubt I will use this often.

This is an excellent cookbook to add to your gourmet collection. There are quite a few recipes in here that one would consider to be more fine dining than an average home cook might want, but for the serious cook it is an excellent book to stretch the culinary imagination.

Having heard about Chez Panisse and my sister finally having the opportunity to dine at the restaurant, I gave the book to my sister as a gift. She seems quite happy to have the cookbook (she is a fabulous cook!) and says she has plans to try a number of Alice Water's wonderful recipes!

I admire Alice Waters & am thrilled to find some of he books.

Buyer beware. You can't highlight or copy text in this book as you do in other Kindle books. In some parts of the book it will only let you select a single word at a time. In other parts you can select whole blocks of text as in any other Kindle book. That's not the way I wanted to read the book and it doesn't meet my expectations of a Kindle book as a result.As for content it's very useful and informative, but alas not useful because of this defect.I'm now getting a used hard copy and a yellow highlighter and doing it the old-fashioned way.Beyond this issue, this is a great book for learning and expanding for the weekend cook. This is not and was never meant to be a cookbook for people who are looking for quick and simple meals. It's for people who want to enjoy meals at their best, in season and with freshest quality ingredients.Like so many things Alice Waters-related, the recipes are a bit slapdash and mercurial and not very well written. Take the cassoulet recipe for instance, and reading through it you realize you're making duck confit, stock from the same duck after AGING the duck, that the duck confit can be made much in advance and the flavor will improve (the stock can apparently be frozen), and then you're moving on to all the other steps, which, reading through you will reorder logically.I don't mind though, because I learn the recipe that way and improve my skills and techniques and knowledge, which is why I like cooking this way (plus we get to eat well).If you enjoy cooking and trying new things, this is a great book for you. It's not for the cook who wants things on the table cheap, easy, and fast, and who complains about the difficulty of having to search out ingredients (which I love, since it's a great way to learn and improve as a cook).

Ottimo libro.

Interesting narrative, wonderful photographs and fantastic recipes. Delicious food produced. Not for the faint hearted chef tho'. My son loves this book and uses it whenever he has time to indulge his taste buds. Excellent service.

Wonderfully inspirational, the kind of cookbook you read in bed.

received on time and as described

Brilliant! Book arrived in great condition super quickly. I'm really happy to recommend
