What could be better than standing on top of a mountain, snow sparkling, the slopes calling? Not much, except perhaps skiing down to a warm, home-cooked meal that comes together effortlessly.
The Ski House Cookbook makes it all possible with 125 recipes that will keep you on the slopes or winding down with friends afterward, not stuck at the stove. Here are easy and delicious meals designed with minimum prep times for often limited home-away-from-home kitchens, from quick-cooking roasts, sautés, and other fast meals to slow-cooker dishes and recipes that can be made in advance and frozen. And, to get you in the right frame of mind, each recipe is coded with a difficulty rating that corresponds to the familiar green dots, blue squares, and black diamonds of the slopes.
Start the day with ’Twas the Night Before French Toast (assembled in advance and baked in the morning) to keep you going until lunchtime, when a Colorado Cubano (made in a flash from readily available deli meats) will refuel you for the afternoon. An entire chapter of après-ski snacks, including Green Mountain Fondue and Spicy Roasted Chickpeas, helps tide you over until dinner, which includes tempting options such as Roasted Pork Loin with Cherry Balsamic Pan Sauce, Mogul Beef Chili, and Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. Hearty soups and pastas and indulgent desserts round out this collection of recipes that will warm you up from the inside out.
In addition to the irresistible recipes, The Ski House Cookbook offers practical information on cooking at high altitudes, a section on getting the most out of your slow cooker, and 50 beautiful full-color photographs of the great dishes and snowy landscapes that skiers love. So whether you’re hitting the slopes or just dreaming of days in the lodge, a double diamond pro or struggling down the bunny hill for the first time, here is your go-to guide to making easy, satisfying, and comforting winter meals.

Summary: Check the serving amounts...
Comment: The photos in the book are gorgeous and the descriptions are written very well - I breezed through the whole book in no time. I LOVE to buy cookbooks and bought this one as a gift for someone that recently acquired a "Ski House"....so it seemed perfect. I have only tried one recipe - a slow cooker spicy pork recipe. I made up two batches of the rub to give one with the book as a gift. The recipe said it served 4-6 - this was WAY off - it cold easily feed a crowd (and I like BIG servings)...so this concerned me about the rest of the book. It certainly didn't have the heat in the recipe that I like when something is supposed to be spicy. I will try other recipes, but am always concerned about first-time cookbook authors - that the recipes aren't tested as well as they could be.

Summary: great for skiing condo
Comment: This is a very attractive cookbook and should sit out on the counter and add to the kitchen as an accessory as well as a good cookbook - the recipes are not difficult and is a great gift at a reasonable price. Anyone who has a condo or home in ski country would really like this item.
It was a real hit to my friend for her birthday.

Summary: GREAT WINTER RECIPES
Comment: I found this cookbook to have recipes that are easy to read with ingredients that are available in the supermarkets. There is a variety of dishes to fill the entire day. However, the Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake recipe has me a bit perplexed. The ingredience list for the Cake begins with "Unsalted Butter" and does not state if that is to butter the pan or if a certain amount is to be included in the batter. The amount is not stated. Other than that, the cookbook makes you want to gather up your skis and head for the slopes. They have even rated each recipe with ski trail ratings as to difficulty. This is a great book to add to your collection.

Summary: The best cookbook EVER!
Comment: I have a whole bookcase full of cookbooks, in case someday I suddenly turn into a cook. The ONLY cookbook I use on a regular basis is this one. This book enables someone with very little skill in the kitchen to whip out a fantastic meal that A) tastes great, B) looks beautiful, C) didn't mess up the whole kitchen making it, and D) was fairly easy to accomplish. I hope to see more from these authors in the future...
