Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar
This book is filled with recipes and techniques to improve your cooking skills. I loved this easy pound cake, especially the almond variation. Try pizza in a skillet, stuffed and grilled trout, roasted asparagus with the often-scary Hollandaise sauce, baked rice, and a New York-style cheesecake for dessert. I love this book.

This book has many lovely tea recipes: lots of fancy cakes, biskies (aka cookies), and some savory treats, including some mini sweetcorn pancakes with tomato and avocado and an enticing raspberry, lemon & mint iced tea for the dog days of summer. This week, try making the little Yorkshire puds for tea or an appetizer.

All sorts of baked sweets are in this book, with lots of tips to tweak each recipe to make the goodies gluten-free, without dairy, or vegan. Drag out the waffle iron and make turtle cookies with peanut butter frosting. Or add the perfect chocolate torte, with strawberries and coconut whipped cream, and a wonderful pretzel pie, to your repertoire. These almond cookies were easy to make and magically disappeared from my cookies jar!

This book has twenty summers’ worth of recipes for salads, grills, picnics, and cool desserts. Start with green tomato chutney, dilly beans, and a smoked salmon Niçoise salad. Throw some meat and veggies on the grill, drink some sweet iced tea and finish with an ice-cream sundae. The perfect beach day menu.

Fire up the grill and make everyone individual salads. Then start cooking your way through this delightful book. I am working on the grain and chili recipes this week. Sun-dried tomato and broccoli pasta, anyone?

The beauty and bounty of the farms in the Berkshires are the main characters in this wonderful cookbook, bringing back memories of the amazing local food from my school days there. I am currently working my way through the soup chapter, with this refreshing carrot soup my new favorite. Next: Striped bass, pies, carrot cake, and more veggie dishes than you can imagine will have you cooking all summer. Enjoy.

Ahhh. Last week, I wrote that smoked salmon is my favorite food. It’s really almost anything chocolate. This rich cake is pretty close to the top of the list. And pairing orange with chocolate is a match made in dessert heaven! I miss my old friend and teacher, Maida Heatter, but we are all so lucky to have her incredible recipes to bake over and over again. Thanks, and a tip of my hat to Connie Heatter and Nick Malgieri.
