graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated New Vegetarian in Books
Feb 15, 2019
I don't consider these recipes simple when:
1) Ingredients aren't normally on hand
2) They can't be purchased locally or
3) They must be purchased online, therefore having to wait to even try most recipes. Not to mention the extra money spent on them.
I thought simple means easy! This was the deciding factor that made me choose to get this book.
The book is attractive enough, although the font is small, but had I known the recipes were more for someone that is either a chef or has enough time and energy to cook for a while, I would never have gotten it. Had I picked this up when I first became a vegetarian twelve years ago, it might just have turned me off the whole thing. Also, it would have been nice to include a glossary for the unusual ingredients and a substitute chart for more easily found items to replace them. I shouldn't have to go online to research so much just for a cookbook. I do appreciate having vegan desserts included, as I am trying to eat less dairy.
I'd advise anyone interested in buying this cookbook to either get it from the library first or browse through it at a bookstore. I have a feeling this will be one that gathers dust more often than not.

Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated Queso!: Regional Recipes for the World's Favorite Chile-Cheese Dip in Books
Jun 14, 2018
The book explains the modern origin of Chile Con Queso, and tracks the history and regional differences of the dish. The recipes provided range from early appearances in magazines and Woman's clubs cooking publications, to restaurant versions that popularized the dish, and ending with modern vegan varieties.
It is a fun cookbook. Queso is incredibly comforting, delicious, and easy to make. Each recipe is presented with an explanation of the geographical origin of the version, and / or some tips on how to incorporate it into a meal. The recipes are straightforward, and easy to follow. The delicious entrees included prove that Queso is not merely a side or dip. I did not know that I needed a book completely about Chile Con Queso until I read this book.
I received this ARC from Ten Speed Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
