Incredible Cuisine With Chef Jean-Pierre

Rating:
Summary: This is my favorite cookbook.
Review: Chef Jean-Pierre's Incredible Cuisine is my favorite cookbook since it is easy to follow and the results are incredible. With over 100 pictures, you can't help but get drawn into some of the most beautifully presented suggestions for cooking seafood, appetizers, soups, meats, poultry and desserts. The sweet potato mash, pumpkin cheescake and brocolli pesto-phyllo pizza are unbelievable! I have tried many of the recipes and given this book as a gift to many of my friends. There are also many suggestions for low fat cooking. It's a winner and should be part of any cook's repertoire. The passion for cooking of the author shines through every page.

Summary: Imaginative, easy cooking
Review: I have an extensive collection of cookbooks. This has got to be one of the books that I refer to again and again in order to refresh my cooking repertoire. "Incredible Cuisine" was the first cookbook that I used to impress my boyfriend (now husband), and both my well-traveled father and father-in-law. Almost all the fish and shellfish recipes are divine and the pictures gave me ideas to turn my plates into "works of art."
Back when I was quite the novice cook, my husband brought me over to my father-in-law's home and I made a version of the swordfish with lemon-caper sauce, my father-in-law seriously thought I was a gourmet cook.
I can't thank Mr. Brehier enough!

Summary: I was expecting more.
Review: I saw Jean-Pierre on Home Matters. He owns a resturant and is a professional cook. I bought his book expecting some very good tasting dishes. I tried a mushroom and a potatoe dish, and they were ok. I also made the chicken dish I saw him cook on Home Matters. I followed the recipe to the best of my ability, but it was just an average tasting dish. I see everyone else gave him good reviews, maybe its me buying bad wine. Most of his recipies calls for wine, and I don't know anything about wine. From his website I got a pasta recipe, which I liked. I also got a rissoto<sp> rice recipe from his website which I liked.

Summary: I did not find the book all that good
Review: I tried some of the recipies, like the rice/mushroom and pasta dishes on Jean-Pierre website, they were good/average meals. I bought his book and tried the chicken in wine dish that was suppose to be the best recipe in the whole book, it was an average dish. I also baked the mushroom dish and a potatoe dish found in the book, both were average tasting. I notice he uses wine in most of his recipies and I don't know anything about wine. I tried to follow the recipies to the best of my ability, but I'm just an average home cook.

Summary: Amazing, delicious, easy low-fat food!
Review: This book is the next best thing to meeting Jean-Pierre and enjoying dinner at the Left Bank in Ft. Lauderdale. Jean-Pierre presents a review of basic techniques that can dramatically change how you cook and his recipes bring true cuisine back to family dinners. I'd recommend the book to everyone just as emphatically as I would recommend a dinner at the restaurant AND a cooking class with Jean-Pierre. It's un-beh-lev-able!

Summary: Hands down the best cookbook I own
Review: This is a fabulous, fabulous book. Every recipe I've tried is so far above good that I just love using the book. From the smoked ham and cream cheese stuffed pork chops to the seared scallops with ginger lime sauce to the butternut squash and bourbon bisque. I could go on and on. Every recipe is a winner and they're all so EASY. Jean-Pierre is my cooking hero!

Summary: Jean-Pierre created a masterpiece
Review: This is one of my favorite cookbooks, it's always the first book I reach for when I'm looking for ideas or a recipe. The best thing about the book is that all the recipes are healthy and they tast fabulous, you would never know they are low in fat. You must try the sambucca shrimp and the seared sea scallops. I highly recommend it.

Review: This is the best cookbook I have ever used. Jean-Pierre explains the techniques as well as the recipes. The pictures help to show what the dish should look like when finished.
