From one of America’s most prolific and beloved cookbook authors comes a compendium of unique recipes for a universally appealing subject. This broad collection of soups, broths, bisques, and chowders ranges from summer coolers and hearty, warming stews to smooth, creamy soups and fiery broths. Marked by their straightforward preparation, accessible ingredients, and original pairings, Ojakangas’s collection not only taps into her Scandinavian heritage but into flavorful soups from around the world—there’s Swedish Pea, Morroccan Vegetable, Borscht, and Chicken and Dumplings to Feijoida, French Onion, Italian Meatball, and Asian Lemon Ginger.
My Thoughts
I love to make soup, usually without using a recipe...just throw some stuff in a pot and call it good and then there is the bread, I have a bread machine and I use it constantly. I can not tolerate eating regular bread from the store so I am always on the lookout for a great bread recipe. It doesn't matter if it is for a bread machine or not, I can usually just use the ingredient list and modify it for the machine.
This awesome cookbook has wonderful pictures, easy to follow recipes and is separated into five sections, the basics which include tips on how to make stocks, broths and basic breads, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. There are also recipes on sandwiches, pretzels and bread sticks.. a recipe that will appeal to everyone.
As I was looking through this cookbook, I found a lot of great sounding recipes for bread and soup that I will definitely be making, with fall on its way I think that this book will be used a lot.
I received a copy of this book on Netgalley and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
Sounds like a good one. I'm a sucker for recipe books. I've picked up some really good ones for free off Amazon for my Kindle. I made "Meatloaf Muffins" from one of them the other night and man were they delicious. I will make meatloaf that way from now on.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a bread machine. Is it expensive to make your own in one? Maybe I'll get one some day.
I'm reviewing a book called The Old Rectory in a couple of weeks. It has some great traditional English recipes in it.
