Summary: Prime Time Emeril...Power of Cable TV
Review: Speaking only for myself, I find the book to have too much of the author's TV persona. It's not as much a cookbook as it is a platform for the author's personality and presentation style. It's tiring. When I read a book or watch TV shows dealing with food, I do not want to hear BAM! each time a spice is added or a dish is completed.The book has recipes with trendy twists (sauces, sprinkling of nuts or shaved citrus). Strip off the BAM component and recipes are traditional. He should be ashamed. It's the era of marketing and he has used it to the n-th degree. For this, he has my cadoo! As a cookbook, don't waste your money.

Summary: Still a mystery to me ...
Review: This book follows the recipes from the earlier episodes of his Emeril Live series on the Food Network. So if you've been looking for the recipes from the TV show, this is the one for you. Definitely a good cross section of recipes, not just focusing on New Orleans cuisine.

Summary: Emeril is Emeril
Review: This book is a good compilation of the recipes from his TV show. Most of these you can download from the Food TV web site for free. This book just puts it all together, which is why I bought it. The recipes exemplify Emeril cooking pure and simple. As long as you follow the guidelines for "fresh" herbs, the recipes come out very good. Some can be time consuming and some are fairly easy. I labored through the Duck and Sausage Etouffee and am glad I did. I learned the different flavors of the rue. The flavors can't be beat - but it takes time. I think this is a good addition to anyone's cookbook library. I also have his New New Orleans cook book and Louisiana Real and Rustic. I have favorites in all of them. If you enjoy getting on that cutting edge of "gourmet cooking," I think you will enjoy this book.

Summary: One of the most useful cookbooks ever
Review: Uncomplicated but delicious recipies. Even through all the status and hype Emeril remains down to earth and offers cookbooks which, like his shows, offer recipies busy people can use regularly. Very useful for everyday cooking.
