Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Ease of preparation and a focus on few, but fresh, ingredients mark the 250-plus recipes in this accessible, inviting collection from the Oregonian author of the What's for Dinner? series. Aimed at the family cook, these recipes are conventionally arranged, from party starters (Brandied Brie), soups (Pacific Fresh Seafood Chowder) and salads (Layered Dungeness Crab Salad) through sweets (Coconut Bars Ana). The special dressings, sauces or other accompaniments called for with many dishes are generally printed on facing pages: Cucumber Sauce to go with grilled Columbia River Salmon, Black Bean Salsa to serve with Mexican Pot Roast. Fish and seafood get their due (Sole-Spinach Bundles; baked Oysters Gourmet), and vegetables receive a substantial nod. Meats, especially grilled, receive considerable attention, while the versatility of chicken is demonstrated in a broad range of dishes (among them, fajitas, stir-fry and tandoori), as seems fitting for a fairly traditional, family-fare cookbook like this one.

Review

From Beer Beef Roast and Shrimp with Garlic and White Wine to a baked Cheese Bread, this gathers west coast recipes which are based on fresh seasonal ingredients. Simple fare is the emphasis in a cookbook of nearly 200 recipes. -- Midwest Book Review

    I have enjoyed this book for at least ten years in my kitchen on the Mainland and now that we are living on Maui for half of the year, wanted the recipes available here too. The first of Marianna's cookbooks I received, a fish cook book, was a gift from my aunt, an excellent cook, who lived in Eugene, Or. and personally knew Marianna' talent in the kitchen.

    This book surprised me. All the recipes are easy to follow, not to many ingredients. Clear easy instructions and enjoyable. It was on sale too.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    A great cookbook is a balance of recipes and color photo's of the dishes. This important component is crucial in making the reader's mouth water and actually want to try the recipes. This cookbook had none. None. Just some meaninglessness black and white sketches. I'm sure this contained good recipes but I completely lost interest in spending any time looking through it.
