Fresh and Healthy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I, like many other readers, bought this cookbook after watching Joanne Weir prepare most of these recipes on PBS. Her ingredients are fresh, healthy and simple and they seemed to result in delicious meals. I also loved the fact that as a chef she seemed very at ease and therefore her recipes must reflect her basic approach. (That woman can use a butcher's knife in practically any situation!) I'm not very fond of long, involved recipes and have not yet encountered a problem with anything I have made, my only regret being that I wish that I had ingredients that look as ripe and fresh as Joanne's! I plan on ordering her next book as soon as possible.
Recipes that Work!

I've tried many of the recipes in this book and they have been terrific. They all have great flavor and have been big hits. Great soup recipes are not easy to come by but Joanne has succeeded -- the Asparagus Soup with Lemon Creme Fraiche and the Roasted Acorn Squash Soup with Toasted Walnut Butter are two of the best!
Beautiful Book & Simplicity at its best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is the first book I have ever been moved to buy from a PBS television show. I was skeptical - but it has turned out to be my favorite cookbook. The recipes emphasize fresh ingredients and simple preparation. There are no recipes in this book that the uninitiated cook would not succeed with. I love it so much I am giving it as a gift this Christmas. Best of all, it highlights the fact that good, simple food is best shared with family and friends. A winner!
"Recipes from the wine country" is the best I've seen!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The best recipes come from cooks with hands on teaching experience. I recently attended a cooking class taught by joanne and i can tell you her strengths come out the classroom. Her book not only displays beautiful images of culinary delight but the recipes are easy to construct. i just ordered 6 books for holiday giving. "Thank you Joanne for sharing your heart, your craft and creative soul"
