| The
Newlywed Cookbook | by Robin Vitetta-Miller |
OUR
REVIEW:
The
Newlywed Cookbook is filled with over
200 original recipes and includes a common
guide to cookware as well as terminology used
in the kitchen. (ex. What is a roux? ans.
An equal mixture of flour and fat (butter
or oil) used to thicken liquids). Plus, every
type of herb and spice is listed with what
dishes they're used for. Robin also provides
insight into the recipes (what it pairs well
with and substitutions). Each recipe provides
a 'needed items' list, prep time, cooking
time and how many servings.
While the dishes may tend to take a little
more time to prepare than most cookbooks,
it is well worth it. You will feel like a
gourmet chef when your dish is complete. I've
made the stuffed pork chops twice so far,
once when my parents came over and the dish
received raves. So far, every recipe I've
made has been delicious.
Another bonus with this cookbook
- Robin makes complete meal suggestions for
the "special occasion", including
a one-year anniversary dinner and when in-laws
come to visit. Highly Recommended! |
