I was not familiar with Lisa Fain before receiving this cookbook, but I am now a fan! The recipes in this cookbook aren't lofty or overly ambitious, but are instead completely manageable and appealing. I received the Kindle version of this cookbook and it was easy to navigate and the picture quality is wonderful. Cookbooks on an eReader will probably never be my favorite, but this one is done very well.
Each section of the cookbook is well laid out and organized and I particularly like the glossary of the different types of peppers with their attributes and uses. Nicely done Lisa! In the breakfast section she has a recipe for homemade Buttermilk Bacon Fat Flour Tortillas. SHUT UP! This cookbook is not for those of us who would like to loose a pound or two, but when you are ready for a little indulgence this is the cookbook to go to. My husband is a big fan of brisket so I had to give the brisket tacos a try and they were a huge success! Another recipe that I want to give a go is the Balsamic-tarragon Glazed Ham which may end up being my Easter ham this year. I'd also like to make her version of Lemon pie which looks very easy to make with clear and precise instructions so that maybe I will have a chance of a non-runny pie!
If you are looking for a good cookbook with lots of beautifully photographed food as well a drool inducing recipes, give this one a try when it comes out on April 1st, You won't be disappointed!
