Review for Think With Your Taste Buds!

Below is a new Amazon review on our our new cookbook Think With Your Taste Buds - Desserts.  I had to share!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy does it!, September 30, 2011
By myristica "myristica" (The Swamp, USA)
This review is from: Think With Your Taste Buds (Perfect Paperback)
Recipes are quick & easy but yummy. Many of these recipes would be ideal to introduce children to the world of cooking. You don't need a kitchen full of fancy appliances or gadgets to prepare any of them. Some recipes are old family favorites with a twist and others are refreshingly new. Both authors offer suggestions or experiences for every recipe, so it's like hands-on cooking with Mama gently guiding you. Enjoy results suitable for daily desserts, church suppers or that special event but know you won't be spending all day in the kitchen preparing any of these goodies.

This book would be a great gift for a first time cook, an experienced cook who is looking for variations on tried and true desserts or anyone who needs something tasty without the fuss.

Enjoy!

Newest Review for Stir, Laugh, Repeat

 
I was checking my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat on Amazon and found this new review posted.  This one is GREAT!!!! 
I had to share.
 
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Cookbook!, June 23, 2011
I found myself going through this entire cookbook, taking notes in between. I've always struggled making gravy and just gave up and brought packets of gravy from the store. Thanks to Martha I went into the kitchen and followed her recipe and my gravy was perfect.

I loved the stories she shared and the tips such as keeping lemons and lime fresh,making your own breadcrumbs, peeling tomatoes and many more are lifesavers. I found so many receipes that I wanted to try for the longest such as Monkeybread, chicken Pot Pie, and many others.

I really enjoyed the stories and tips. They were lifesavers.

Stir, Laugh, and Repeat by Martha A Cheves is the BEST cookbook I have read. You get more than just receipes; You get tips and stories.

Get this cookbook. You will Enjoy it.

Another Wonderful Review for Stir, Laugh, Repeat Cookbook

Cheves cookbook

I do a lot of cooking and consequently, I read a lot of cookbooks. All of them have many complicated recipes calling for a lot for ingredients. I always assumed that was the way of the cook. Until I got a copy of Martha Cheves' cook book Stir, Laugh, Repeat.

This cookbook specializes in simple recipes that should find favor with working couples who haven't the time or energy to cook complicated recipes. Martha's recipes call for pre-packaged ingredients that could be stocked in advance and used as the need arises.

As an example, Martha has a chicken and rice recipe that has similarities to the Spanish classic Arroz con Pollo, one that I make a lot. I use chicken, rice, onions, peppers, tomatoes, broth, saffron and other spices. It takes twenty minutes of prep work and an hour of stovetop cooking; adding ingredients, stirring etc. Martha's recipes calls for chicken and a prepackaged box of saffron rice and a few other ingredients with almost no preparation time and less than a half-hour in the oven.

All in all, this cookbook should find favor with many busy families and others who aren't thrilled by cooking but like to eat.

Another Great Review for Stir, Laugh, Repeat

Review for Martha Cheves book, Stir, laugh, repeat.

Martha A. Cheves has a wonderful sense of family, and it shows through this compilation of her tasty selection of recipes and quotes. As you read and study the delicious recipes, you’ll love the way she adds a personal touch of family and friends to make it more inviting and fun.
I have not seen a recipe quite the likes of this. My mouth waters and I chuckle as I read through the quips and quotes of her fun and catchy stories. Indeed a collection of recipes worth tasting and sharing! I have already tasted two of her recipes and you must own this book. Its worth every chuckle and morsel it contains!! She has many great tips as well, which we cooks always love to know, so if you like to eat as well as cook, this lovely cook-book is a must have!
