 excellent book - thoughtful author April 5, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
this is available for a ridiculous price and worth, at least, five times as much. His name is not well-known, but his friends and clients are which certainly speaks well for him.
I like the style of writing and the recipes, the few I've tried so far, have turned out very well. I also like the author's attitude. You have permission to enhance your result, if desired, without inciting his scorn. Latitude in cooking is a nice attribute.
I found his web site, asked a question, and got a PROMPT answer.
Nice photography and I like the serving suggestions that relate to other recipes in the book.
How could simple be this good? July 24, 2007

Having cooked out of this cookbook for about two months, I continue to be amazed by it. The recipes are clearly written and easy to prepare. Usually when this is the case, the authors have sacrificed flavor in an effort to entice people who don't cook to learn to cook. The strategy backfires, of course, since who would want to learn to do something whose results consistently disappoint? Roy Finamore starts from the premise that regular people who have lives outside the kitchen can make really tasty food without depending on lots of sugar, salt, or fat to equal "taste." As I have explored the book, I start almost every recipe thinking, "This doesn't sound hard, how good can it be?" and am consistently--pleasantly--amazed by the results. The food is joyful and colorful, nourishing and comforting. What a great find!

Like another reviewer here, I also checked this out at my library to preview before I took the leap to purchase (I have too many cookbooks!). It only took 10 minutes to decide there weren't even recipes worth xeroxing. Huge disappointment considering the glowing reviews it's received.
Great, Tasty Meals! March 26, 2007

This book is chock-full of delicious recipes! If you want to add some zesty sauces or spreads to these meals, try the pesto recipes in Mary El-Baz's "Simply Elegant and Easy Pesto."
