At Sunday's Cookbook Club meeting members reviewed recipes they tried out from The Chew: Food, Life, Fun. While, many enjoy watching the show on ABC, this was not a favorite among the cookbooks selected. All the foods came out tasting good, but many found that times were longer (in some cases much longer) than times estimated in the book and there were quite a few recipes listed at the easy level, however several of them were a bit more complicated than easy. Another issue some had was a lack of pictures in the book; it can be nice to know what your final product should look like. On the other hand each host gave a little opening to their recipes, which added some fun personality to each one.
From this book the group enjoyed:
Fresh Frozen Fruit Sorbet - The book called for honey instead of agave and a mix of frozen mangoes, strawberries and peaches were used.
Whoopie Pies - 2 different cooks
Skillet Irish Soda Bread
Coconut Pound Cake - We tried a less sweetened version with powdered sugar on top rather than glaze.
Warrior Salad
Holiday Mac & Cheese Casserole
Wine-Stained Pasta
Next Month's Book: Bake it, Don't Fake it! by Heather Bertinelli
Copies can be picked up at the reference desk.
