Book Reviews of The Bon Appetit Cookbook: Fast Easy Fresh

Book Review: Makes dinner a pleasure and not a burden
Summary: 5 Stars

I love cooking, but my dinner routine was becoming ho-hum: some sort of meat, some sort of vegetable, some sort of starch. Boring!

Enter Bon Appetit Fast Easy Fresh. I was always a fan of the magazine, but was a little intimidated by the size of the book. Once I looked inside, though, I was intrigued, and once I bought it and took it home, I was hooked.

Macaroni and cheese made more healthy with the addition of whole wheat bread, and more interesting with Wisconsin cheddar? Jerk pork with yellow rice and beans? Halibut with capers and olives? I haven't been able to find a dud in the book. Best of all, it mostly uses pantry staples and supermarket basics, and pretty much everything takes less than an hour. The author doesn't shy away from using things like dried spices, but always throws in something to make it interesting and, well, fresh.

This book is a monster of organization, too. Each chapter has a list of recipes contained in the beginning of the chapter, helpful when you have, say, a flank steak, and are wondering what to do with it. (Flank Steak Salad with Roasted Shallots and Goat Cheese, in case you were curious.) There are two indexes, one organized by serving size and one by recipe name. Also, those terrific photos I love are there too, in the form of 4 color inserts.

I haven't started working through the desserts yet, but prospects like the Banana Cake with Sour Cream Frosting and Frozen Meyer Lemon Cream with Blackberry Sauce make me excited for the prospect.
