Gourmet the Simple Way Paperback – March 8, 2013

This book is so easy to follow and learn from. I think of it as cooking classes with recipes here from soups and salads to entrees and desserts and even how to make basic stocks. There are also sections that deal with purchasing proper kitchen equipment and cutlery. This is for anyone like me who is on the go and wants to make and enjoy gourmet food, but doesn't always have the time to break out the heavy daunting cookbooks.

This book is a good introduction to gourmet cooking but not for those looking for lots of recipes or in depth instruction.

Loved the book and meeting the cook!!! Guacamole is outstanding and the puree mix stores well and is a delightful spread on all sorts of other foods :-) like my morning scrambled eggs. Trying the dry rub recipe on leg of lamb next.....yum!

Cooking doesn't interest me much, but this book may just make a convert out of me. The instructions are clear and simple, the ingredients not too many, and the general thoughts on various procedures are particularly helpful.Betsey

I picked up the book again and realized how wonderful it is. Who said a Norwegian girl from the mid-west can't make mole'? I did and it was amazing. Thank you Dolores.

A short and simple book with careful instructions and excellent recipes! Davis is an experienced cook who has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Try the cole slaw recipe with her tip on poaching salmon. Makes a delicious meal!

Too many cookbooks concentrate on recipes, which I have always thought shackled more people than it helps. These recipes and especially the techniques can be adapted to your own style. You actually will learn how to cook better on your own after reading this book! It's a must if you like to cook and not be constantly beholden to a recipe. Bravo!

Love this book! The recipes are easy to follow and best of all they taste amazing! The recipes offer a decadent dish in an easy to follow step by step process, my friends were amazed with the root salad sandwich. And the author is a such a dear person who truly puts her heart into all she does!
