My Thoughts…
I am not a fan
of “celebrity” cookbooks as I find they usually call for ingredients that are
not easily found or affordable for the “normal” person yet with Jane Green’s Good
Taste Cookbook I found myself wanting and being able to cook every recipe. My family, especially my children, are very
picky and there were so many recipes that they enjoyed or would enjoy when I
finally tried them out.
While checking
out the recipes I felt like I was getting a glimpse into Jane Green’s
life. The stories between the recipes shared the
why’s of the recipes. The reasoning
behind why she is sharing the recipes that she is.
The step by
step directions showed how meticulous she is.
They were easy to follow and made total sense. Even the non-cooker/baker will find recipes
in this book that will temp them to try their hand at a new meal idea. This book is perfect for the experienced
chef/baker or the stay at home cooking for the family cook.
Check out Good
Taste. There is a recipe in here for
everyone.

I just enjoyed a lunch with Jane Green and the caterers prepared all dishes from GOOD TASTE for the meal. Reading With Robin puts on the best author events - we're lucky to have her in RI.
