Editorial Reviews:
|
Writer and NPR commentator Frank Browning draws upon the apple's rich culinary tradition and the folk cooking of his Appalachian heritage to present, with food writer Sharon Silva, an engaging, lavishly illustrated companion to apple and cider cookery. Woven throughout are the authors' spirited recollections of their childhoods spent on apple orchards in the hills of Kentucky and the Northern California coast, respectively.

Summary: Enjoyable, but somewhat shallow
Comment: I bought this book having already tried one of the recipes (sausage stuffed apples) that I found on the internet. The recipe was yummy, and I love apples, so I bought the book. This book has a small dose of apple history, a small dose of descriptions of different apple varieties, and a dose of recipes. I was a little disappointed by the recipes, mostly because many of them were just thrown-together by the authors based on what they found at the farmer's market or in their kitchen. There's nothing wrong with this approach, of course. I cook that way all the time and it's very enjoyable. But at the same time, I don't really need a recipe book for that. I had bought the book hoping for traditional apple recipes (perhaps from many cultures). That's not what this book has. But "bottom line", I did enjoy the book. It all depends on what you expect...

Summary: Well done
Comment: This book is very much about apples for apples sake. Beautifully done. I was looking more for a "everything you can do with apples" rather than a history and genus of apples. Still worth having.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Appealling photos, excellent recipies, new apple lore.
Comment: We just finished Frank Browning's Apple and Country Ham Risotto. Improbable as it seems, the flavors blend beautifully. My husband declared it the best risotto he's ever had--and risotto is his favorite food.
