| BOOK REVIEW |
Reviewed by Cindy Sanchez When looking for a cookbook to review for PracticalKitchen.com, I very much try to keep to those that allow for easy and quick recipes to follow. The title of Hooffinfeathers: Easy Fool Proof Cooking was enough to lure me to take a peek inside. By beginning with The Fundamentals, author Chef Linda Wandensten sets up a perfectly laid out cookbook for beginner cooks or for those more experienced but still need a reminder now and again. Discussed are Standard Pan Capacities, Substituting Equipment, A Few Basic Cooking Terms, and Cooking Techniques. The book then continues onto its 150 contained recipes. The recipes are organized by course from Appetizers through Desserts with an easy read layout to follow. Each recipe not only lists the ingredients and instructions but also a clock icon tells the cook how long it will take to prepare. There are also untensil icons to quickly tell you which you'll need for the recipe. Don't forget to take a peek at the many helpful charts at the end of the book! Sample Recipe: Copyrighted by Favorite Recipes Press (FRP) 1997. Roasted Red Bliss Potatoes 5 cups red bliss potatoes, quartered (do not peel) 1/4 cup olive oil 3/4 cup sliced onions 1 tablespoon rosemary 1 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon garlic 1 teaspoon oregano Mix all the ingredients together.
