From Library Journal

Here are three new cookbooks from popular restaurant chef-owners. Peel and Silverton are the husband-and-wife team behind Campanile, the popular Los Angeles restaurant, and its adjunct, the La Brea Bakery. Peel is the chef, Silverton is the baker, well known for her desserts and delicious breads (Breads from the La Brea Bakery, LJ 5/15/96). They've already written about the simple food they like to cook with their kids (Mark Peel and Nancy Silverton at Home, LJ 2/15/94); now they present their favorite dishes from the restaurant, including earthy, flavorful, often Mediterranean-inspired food that is more sophisticated but not pretentious: Roasted Chanterelle Salad, Crisp Flattened Chicken with Wilted Parsley Salad, Rustic Cherry Pie. Although some of the recipes take time, they are clearly written and thoroughly accessible to the home cook. Recommended for most collections. [BOMC Good Cook Selection.] New York City's three-star Gotham Bar & Grill is known for Portale's flavorful, often visually stunning food; his elaborate, tiered, stacked dishes are often described as "architectural food," and the color photographs in his cookbook show why. This is elegant food to be sure?Roast Lobster with Beet Couscous and Baby Bok Choy, Duck and Foie Gras?and some of it is probably better enjoyed at the restaurant, but not all the recipes are complicated or extravagant, and the instructions are clear and often include advance prep suggestions. The headnotes, however, are rather stiff and pedantic, sometimes sounding more like a publicity release than anything else. For area libraries and other collections where chefs' books are popular. Lagasse (Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking, LJ 3/15/93) is the exuberant chef at Emeril's and two other New Orleans restaurants and one of the TV Food Network's most popular personalities. With Bienvenu, he presents four festive menus for the holidays, from Christmas Eve Dinner for Ten, featuring Truffle Risotto and Beef Tenderloin with Fresh Horseradish, to New Year's Day Supper Family Style, with Jiffy Pop Firecracker Shrimp, Roasted Skillet Duck, and Chocolate Bread Pudding. There is also a selection of his other favorite holiday dishes as well as Stocking Stuffers, gifts from the kitchen. Recommended for most collections.

Disappointing book 14. Juni 2000

Von Roger Cotrall

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe

Emeril's book "Creole Cristmas" is a big dissapointment. His recipes aren't anything like the ones he does on TV. They are hard to follow, and are missing steps. I had troubles trying to make some of the dishes. I wasn't happy with this book.

Christmas Book 7. Juni 2000

Von Hank Johnson

Emeril's Christmas cookbook is loaded with all sorts of interesting recipes. So many of them look really good. I love watching Emeril on FoodTV. He always cooks with such enthusiasm and flair. He also has a way of making the cooking look really easy. I have all of his books in my collection. I like to read his recipes, but I must admit that I am really disappointed with the inconsistencies in the recipes. In some cases, Emeril will call for a certain amount of one ingredient, but it will never be called for in the instructions, or he vice versa, he will call for something that wasn't listed in the ingredients. Sometimes the recipe appears to skip entire steps. I have really been disappointed with this, because as a professional Emeril should have been far more accurate and thorough.

Von Ein Kunde

I did not like this book at all. I did not like the recipes. They were terrible. Emeril is not the cook that the TV makes him out to be. This was a dissapointment.

Not easy to follow

My mother gave me this book for Christmas a year ago. The recipes are not that easy to follow, and they call for soooo many ingredients. Lesen Sie weiter...

Emeril's gagathon continues

Oh my gosh, I can't believe what I just ate! Emeril Lagasse has put together another fine collection of stomach turning fare. What was he thinking? Lesen Sie weiter...

Not worth the money

There are much better holiday books out there than this. Emeril tries too hard to 'Emerilize' virtually every old time favorite Christmas dish. I've seen a lot better elsewhere.

What's Missing?

To be fair I'll let you know that I only made one recipe from this book...Banana Cream Pie. So I base the 2 Star review on that recipe alone. Lesen Sie weiter...

Poor excuse for a book

This was a pathetic attempt at a cookbook. Looks like Emerilis sticking it to his fanatical fans one more time by cranking outsuch a cheap book like this. Lesen Sie weiter...

Bad bad bad

The recipes in this book made me sick. I tried them exactly the way they were written. It was bad. Watching Emeril on TV is painful enough, but I thought I'd give him the benefit... Lesen Sie weiter...

really bad

This was really bad. The recipes are inconsistent in their measures, and difficult to follow. Emeril's overdone imagination has gone a little far with this one. Lesen Sie weiter...

I hold Emeril personally responsible for ruining our Christmas last year. The recipes in this book were so bad, and the directions were so misleading that we didn't get to have... Lesen Sie weiter...
