Simply Splendid
30 Nov 2005
Format:Hardcover
Susan Spungen has penned a wonderful and clever collection of recipes in her new solo book effort. Her inventive way of catagorizing the recipes along with the beautiful photography makes this a useful and very inspiring book.
Her professional pedigree is clearly excellent, but it is her creative and artistic eye, her user friendly directions and clear discriptions that make this one a keeper. I look forward to her next book!

It's a keeper, but ...get out your magnifying glass!
26 Jan 2006
Format:Hardcover
This book has received quite a bit of high praise (NY Times gave it a glowing review) and it's easy to understand why: the book itself is beautiful and the recipes are fresh, really delicious and not too complicated. It is readily apparent that Ms Spungen was once an employee of Martha Stewart, as aside from Martha penning the book's forward, you can see the "MS Esthetic" throughout the book. This unfortunately includes a typeface that is really too small and it makes the book a tough read. I assume that I'm like most people in that I read a recipe carefully (OK, sort of carefully) before cooking and then refer back to it a dozen times on the fly while in the kitchen. (And no, I'm not yet of an age where I need reading glasses!) But having to stop and fumble around until I can read detracts from all the book has to offer. That said, this is one of those cookbooks that makes a terrific wedding shower gift or housewarming gift to someone in their first apartment: the recipes will become workhorses in anyone's repertoire, but while you're at it buy them a magnifying glass too.

Great "recipes", ignore boring title!
1 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover
So... I didn't have any interest in this book for a long time because the title "Recipes" seemed boring and a quick skim through didn't make it look like it would add much to my collection. Well, then I found it used in great condition cheap and gave it a try lately. I have made several things and all have been very good/excellent. The Thai cole slaw is rediculously good/addictive, for example. The one that frankly surprised me the most was her rosemary foccaccia version. The dough is really sticky/loose. Doesn't seem like it would come out. Usually my instincts are pretty right on stuff like that and I make adjustments and end up with something that works. This time I didn't, I just stuck with her instructions, figuring I'd get a bit of a mess. WOW, it was delicious, great texture, great taste, even looked good enough to photograph. These recipes are really well tested - trust them. Highly recommended, even if you've got a pretty serious collection.
