February 2005 Cookbook Reviews
Welcome to our cookbook reviews for February 2005 from Rainbo Electronic Reviews. Every month we find a host of great new cookbook for our reviews. A good cookbook can inspire you to expand your repetiore of recipes. You can experiment with a cookbook, too. Its always exciting to write cookbook reviws, telling you what the great chefs and restaurants are doing. A good cookbook will guide you through new techniques and introduce exotic ingredients. When we write our cookbook reviews, we look for great ideas that the home chef can use, inviting text to tempt the tastebuds, and a sense of style. There's always room for another cookbook on our kitchen bookshelf and writing reviews for each one is a pleasure. Big cookbooks, small cookbooks, spiral-bound, paperback or hardcover - We love them all and we hope you love our cookbook reviews!

Three Guys from Miami Cook Cuban The Three Guys From Miami are brothers-in-law. They are also good friends who all like to cook and party. They have a popular web site on the Internet. You might want to check it out- www.iCuban.com By 1983 the three guys had combined their passion for food and their talents and now they have created this cookbook for us. The recipes are somewhat like Mexican food, but with a Cuban twist. I requested that my family try out one of the "Picadillo" recipes (hint to the chef in our house!). There are a couple of these, which are just basically Cuban hash, but sound really good. The Cubans use green olives and cinnamon added to their recipe to make a unique flavor. I think that "Papas Brava" which is Spanish Potatoes and is a simple recipe but it sounds grand with added cloves and bacon. The book is filled with glossy pictures and minute directions. There is a helpful glossary and some sources where you might buy the ingredients online. It's a very handsome cookbook to add some food tastes to your kitchen. |

American Sandwich: Great Eats from All 50 States Making sandwiches can get pretty dull for both the cook and the family. Here is a book that is filled with mostly new ideas for you to try. The author covers sandwich ideas from across the whole country and gives the information about where a particular sandwich is available. The book is based on the PBS special about sandwiches produced by WQED in Pittsburgh. Just to give you an idea of the contents let me introduce you to a restaurant in Monument Valley, Utah. The sandwich is made with "Navajo Fried Bread" and used for the "Navajo Taco." You can also find a recipe for a "Rolled Cob Sandwich" which you can find in Westport, Connecticut. Now you can try this one in your kitchen. You can try "Rhode Island Clam Rolls" and The "French Dip" recipe with a well-earned accolade. That last one is from Los Angeles, California. What a nice addition this could make to your kitchen skills. |
