Cook What You Love: Simple, Flavorful Recipes to Make Again and Again Hardcover – October 18, 2005

A friend gave me this book, and I absolutely love it. The recipes depart refreshingly from standard fare and yet remain very accessible, often by providing a twist on old favorites. Just as the title says, these are wonderful, simple recipes you'll want to make many times.The style of the writing is warm and welcoming, a friendly reminder to slow down and savor the moment. And whose life wouldn't be improved by a little more savoring? :)

Book was pleasing and interesting to read with nice pictures. Most Recipes are good . Some recipes were not so special but I would still recommend it.

After eating at Blanchard's in Anguilla, I bought one of their cookbooks. The recipes were the same ones they serve at their restaurant. I liked that cookbook so much and wanted more so I ordered this one. It includes more great simple yet delicious recipes. Love this book.

Simple, useful and tasty dishes. And, I love the encouragement of the title: cook what you love. Good advice.The Ballard's other cookbook, from their restaurant, is inspiring and delicious.

wonderful ideas for fresh ingredients, simple and yummy.

Blanchard has very interesting recipes that are very simple and comforting to eat. I have another cook book which is very different. JJ

Wonderful book from one of my favorite restaurants

I did not find the recipes in this book very original or very useful. Most can be found elsewhere including (surprise!) garlic bread, for example, pasta with butter, egg salad sandwich, ham sandwich, and chocolate chip cookies; many other recipes fit in this category. Anyway, except for "over-rated," based on reviews here, it is more difficult to say what it is than what it is not, so I will briefly attempt the latter: it is not a carribean cookbook; it is not a gourmet cookbook; it is not a "comfort food" cookbook; it is not an "ecclectic" cookbook; it is not a travel cookbook; it is not a local "history" cookbook. For me, it all boils down to the recipes, and I cannot give a high review on that basis, nor (as noted above) on any other basis.
