Rating:  Summary: Our standard wedding gift Review: If we know you and you're married, we've probably sent you a copy of this book. It's a great wedding present--because it offers so many easy, yet creative and satisfying recipes. It's the best Junior League cookbook that this "foodie" has seen--even better than the other Junior League of Denver offerings. My personal favorites are the Szechwan Cashew Chicken, the Marinated Chicken Breasts in Pepper Sauce and the Angel Hair with Basil and Crab. I would note that the book is light on seafood recipes (it's from land-locked Colorado--duh!), but more than makes up for it with excellent poultry, pasta and salad offerings.
Rating:  Summary: Cut Above Other Recipe Collections! Review: Likely you too have scanned or even invested in those recipe collections to fund a worthy effort, either not expecting to use the recipes or had to search through to find those that one even would want to attempt. Not the case with this collection of the Jr. League of Denver! And over half-a-million in print to date! You'll want one before it goes out of print!This is large, rich colleciton that is well thought out, organized and bursts forth with uniqueness, creativity and breadth. Some unique features are its individual sections on Colorado Wild, Mexican and HealthMark Modifications. For example, the game section using Colorado abundance of wildlife is buy a doctor who is in to this, who gives recommendations on preparing to remove gaminess and to improve flavor and maintain health. How about Wild Pheasant Stroganoff! Indicative of the stuff you'll love finding here and trying. Also a plus to this delight is notes which accompany most all of the recipes that tell about alternatives, serving suggestions, history where the dish came from, etc. Adds zest for us foodphiles! One can easily see why so many other reviewers have raved about this -- it enticed me to try it. I think you will enjoy using this collection too!

Rating:  Summary: Excellent book full of great ideas and recepies from A to Z Review: Was a Christmas gift that has kept on giving year after year. Alway something new to try, I have not done one item from the book without great results and rave reviews from my guests. The Colorado Wild is great for game and you can even use domestic equivalents. The Mexican section is great and the Chocolate section is a Choc-a-holics dream. Comming up with an new and interesting idea for brunch with the Brunch section, is now fun and several are worth repeating. It is really everything from Soup to Dessert!
