A lot of people will be drawn to this book for its beautiful cover and the celebrity status of the author. But don’t let that fool you because inside you will find loads of recipes that will make you want to get into the kitchen right away. It’s all about good food. Whether you want to feast on comfort food or try out some Thai-inspired noodles, this cookbook has it covered.

There is no official list of superfoods, as any food is both beneficial and harmful to us. While this book contains recipes, it is intended to be more of a reference book than a cookbook. It is divided into six parts. With the exception of Part 2, each part contains one or two chapters that support Part 2.

Combine culinary science, cooking and art and you come up with a book like Pasta, Pretty Please. Linda Miller Nicholson created a beautiful cookbook fit to be part of a coffee table collection. This pasta making cookbook is not for the casual cook but rather for those dedicated to homemade pasta.

If you are a beginner cook, don’t read any further–Sweet, Savory & Free is not for you. The long list of ingredients in most recipes will quickly discourage you. But if you are at least an intermediate cook and suffering from any food allergy, Debbie Adler’s cookbook is an excellent choice in your kitchen library.

This is an unusually good eBook that gives readers the pleasure of two, no three, unrelated subjects: awesome photography, many of which are impressive photos of African wildlife; a sophisticated cookbook filled with good recipes; and the reading of excellent, entertaining writing.

Here is a very cute candy-making cookbook overwhelmed with fun illustrations, looking like a comic book. Author Annie Taylor created an unusual cookbook (presumably her own artistic creation) featuring her favorites: candy making. Since she is also a vegan avoiding all animal products (including only using a vegan pastry brush) thus A Vegan Candy Cookbook is for the rather limited cooks who like to make their own candies and are vegan.

Author Erica Reid created a strange cookbook that doesn’t know which way to go. Shut Up and Cook! starts off as a vegan/vegetarian cookbook, particularly in the introduction, in which Reid praises her preferred ingredients (e.g. umeboshi vinegar, sea veg, tempeh) and describes ingredients she avoids (salt, eggs, corn).

If you read What the Health, you are not going to eat again. Our foods are filled with carcinogens, toxins, poisonous material and some even with radioactive traces. You will either starve to death or start a vegan diet, a slightly better alternative. K. Andersen and K. Kuhn, author of this large volume, have nothing but criticism on all of our non-plant origin food sources. The book is pure text of almost two-hundred pages except for recipe illustrations.

Here is a no-nonsense cookbook with no fluff, no padding, nothing but a collection of good recipes. There is a brief introduction and measuring tips but otherwise no pantry items, no equipment needed, nothing but recipes—and they are very good. Not even the name of the author’s given, a mistake, and it is in a spiral ring binder, another mistake, as this cookbook, Best of Bridge Weekday Suppers, will be frequently used and pages will likely come loose. The chapters are according to the courses of the meal and, wisely, recipes are listed in front of every chapter for your ease in selection.

Man! This is a good cookbook! It was written for singles who are unwilling to live on processed, prepared foods or whatever the slow cooker can produce. Yet if you are not single and not a cook, Anita Lo’s writing is so good, so entertaining and full of good humor that you might as well skip the recipes and read the text that comes as headnotes with every recipe in Solo It is about her adventures as a person, as a trained chef.
