100 Bucks Point Patterns. Many from the lace dealer's pattern book. All with color diagrams. Excellent Value.

I have all of Nigel Slater's books and they are my most used cookery books out of a collection of hundreds. He is really funny (if your sense of humour understands Two Fat Ladies) and I enjoy browsing through them for light entertainment. The food is fresh, tasty, fast and easy. His pudding book is a revelation if you need to make something fast and are a nonpudding maker who usually relies on fruit! Suitable for anyone - amateur to professional.

I am a cookbook JUNKIE and own about 4 cookbooks just on Pasta. This one has more recipes that I absolutely adore than any other I have in my collection. I have my own pasta maker and combining that with the many varieties of recipes for sauces and combinations, our meals at home are becoming more and more varied and colorful, not to mention healthy and delicious. I highly recommend this cookbook to people. The only thing I would like more of is a few photos but the recipes are easy to follow with common ingredients. Just pull out the book and whip up dinner in just a few minutes. Great!

This plan title belies the fact that this book gives accurate descriptions for the perfect spicing of nearly every basic italian dish. The linguini con Calamari is unparalleled. Plus its fun hearing how Alan Alda's parents came upon these dishes.

The book teaches you everything you need to know from how to hard-boil an egg to stir frying broccoli. It makes are great gift of any beginning cook.

Recipes include breakfast foods, eggs, breads, soups, sandwiches, salads, main dishes, vegetables, desserts, & appetizers. There is no gourmet fare here, just the delicious uncomplicated meals for everyday people.

Some of my favorite desserts are the apple dumplings & easy lemon chiffon pie. I enjoyed the oven pot-roast, meatballs, chili, & pork chops as well. I know I will never get bored with 8 different potato recipes.

I also loved the one-step lasagna. It's great because you don't have to cook the noodles before baking, making it quick & easy to make. The never-fail cheese soufflé & salmon pate will impress dinner guests without hours of frustration.

I purchased this handy cookbook for my daughter's 12th birthday. The author has a clever sense of humor and an ability to break cooking vocabulary down into easy to understand words for those previously uninitiated in the kitchen. Now at age 22 and married for a year, my daugther said that she can't find her copy since moving several times and wants another for some of her favorite recipes. The book is not a children's cookbook, but for anyone new at cooking. I'd love to see a repeat printing.

I love this cookbook! I've tried almost all the recipies and they are all really good! Especially the shortbread wich I have made more times than I can even remember. I love to bake and cook, and this book is one of my favrite books to cook from, thanks Jodi Evert! Keep up the good work!

Just received the book today, and read through it. The book is quite easy to read. I've been looking at several clay and masonry books, and really like this one. It even gives directions on building an adobe oven, which I really would like to do (but, in the middle of winter, in Wisconsin, that isn't going to happen). I'm planning on making it a school project with my homeschooled daughters this next summer. I was hoping there would be a few more pictures on showing how to put the oven together, but, I think I can figure it out. The recipes really have got my attention and can't wait to try them out, too.

This is by far, one of the best books available that covers the
Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) protocol and other "leading-edge" developments of the integration of data communications and internet connectivity with HF radios and HF radio network design.

This book is densely-packed with technicial information that is useful to the communications hobbyist, and the professional who is involved with HF radio.

For any member of the Amateur Radio Community that may be interested in using ALE techniques in the Amateur Radio Service,

My son and I loved this book. For people who want something more than
the bland products of children's book publishing in the Corporate
Age---*this is it*. It's a leap into history (London of the
mid-nineteenth century, the Crimean War, the Irish potato
famine---even a glimpse of Florence Nightingale...) through one of the
great kitchens of all time: that of the Reform Club in London. There's
a sumptuous two-page spread of this amazing kitchen, which was full of
Soyer's ideas and inventions, and was something of a tourist attraction
in its time. The illustrations are irresistible in beautifully
detailed and luminous watercolors. And the landscapes---scenes of
London, of Balaclava harbor---and period costumes are just as
gorgeously depicted as the spectacular feasts and banquets! A *must
have* for anyone who loves children's picture books...
