Product Description
Product Description
Apples and pears are two of our best-loved fruits. Grown in seemingly endless varieties, they are as versatile and delicious to cook with as they are beautiful to look at. For a light meal or snack try something from Savouries. Recipes include Apple, Parsnip and Thyme Soup or Pear and Parmesan Salad with Endive and Walnuts. A chapter devoted to Bakes features tasty teatime treats. Try Apple Sauce Cookies, Pear and Chocolate Muffins or Apple and Carrot Spice Bread. Apples and pears are the perfect ingredient for a range of Tarts and Pies. Fool-proof recipes include Classic Apple Pie, Tarte Tatin, Pear and Almond Tart and Praline Apple Strudel. More tempting Desserts include classics such as Apple and Blackberry Crumble, Pear Cobbler and Apple Brown Betty with Cranberries, or the wickedly indulgent and boozy Spiced Pear Trifle. Looking for ways to make use of windfall fruit? Preserves and Sauces includes recipes for perfect accompaniments to cheese and cold meats, such as Apple, Pear and Ginger Chutney.

Format:Hardcover
This is a great cook book: easy to follow instructions, everyday ingredients so nothing exotic to have to buy which you don't normally have in stock anyways. Perfect for when you have a bumper crop of apples or pears from the garden to have to find recipes for. Each recipe has its own colour photo, so no doubt about what the finished product should look like. I've now tried several recipes, all very successful! Good book to give as a gift as well, nice size and v presentable.

Meager Collection of Uninspired Recipes
4 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover
This cookbook should have been a pamphlet with a lower price. It features only 33 recipes and many, if not all, are easily found elsewhere.
The first chapter, Savories, includes four recipes:
-Pear and Parmesan Salad with Endive and Walnuts
-Apple, Beet, and Fennel Salad with Roquefort
-Apple Cole Slaw
-Apple, Parsnip, and Thyme Soup
The next chapter, Bakes, includes seven recipes:
-Pear and Chocolate Muffins
-Apple Spice Muffins
-Apple Dappy
-Applesauce Cookies
-Apple, Fig, and Nut Bars
-Spiced Apple Cake
-Apple and Carrot Bread with Walnuts
The third chapter, Tarts and Pies, contains seven recipes:
-Sweet Pastry Dough
-Apple Tart
-Tarte Tatin
-Pear and Almond Tart
-Dutch Apple Pie
-Classic Apple Pie
-Praline Apple Strudel
The next chapter, Desserts, contains seven recipes:
-Apple and Blackberry Crumble
-Apple Brown Betty with Dried Cranberries
-Pear Cobbler
-Pear and Fig Clafoutis with Almonds
-Baked Apples and Pears with Dried Fruit, Honey, and Hazelnuts
-Poached Pears

The final chapter, Chutneys and Jellies, includes eight recipes including:
-Apple, Pear, and Ginger Chutney
-Apple, Red Onion, and Cherry Chutney
-Roasted Pear Relish
-Apple Jelly
-Apple and Cranberry Sauce
-Apple Pumpkin Jelly
-Apple Blackberry Jelly
-Apple Butter
The one selling point of the book is the color photos. There is a full-page color photo of every recipe in the first four chapters. Not all of the chutneys and jellies are pictured.
Instead, I highly recommend Rustic Fruit Desserts: Crumbles, Buckles, Cobblers, Pandowdies, and More. This book includes a stunning 14 apple recipes such as Apple Blackberry Pie, Caramel Apple Steamed Pudding with Ginger, and Mimi's German Apple Cake. There are seven pear recipes including Caramelized Pear Bread Pudding, Pear Cobbler with Shingled Hazelnut Biscuits, and Upside-Down Pear Chocolate Cake. The recipes are organized by season and has many photos. It was chosen for the Gourmet magazine Cookbook Club.
Cobblers & Crumbles has several apple recipes including Apple, Prune, and Armagnac Phyllo Crumble; Caramel Apple Crisp; Classic Apple and Blackberry Crumble; and Cranberry and Apple Cobbler. Pear recipes include Caramelized Pear and Bourbon Crumbles; Pear, Maple, and Pecan Cobblers; and Pear and Chocolate Crumble. Each recipe in the book is accompanied by a full-page color photo and it is a steal with a list price of $12.95.
