Summary: Good Recipes and Good Cause
Review: I am a big fan of Paul Newman, the actor, and also Paul Newman the food mogul. Mr. Newman's salad dressings, sauces, popcorn and especially his lemonade are among the best products on the market. As an added bonus, all the after tax profits go to charity. This cookbook provides many of Mr. Newman's recipes as well as the type of humorous writing that appear on the labels of his products. In addition to Mr. Newman's recipes, such stars as Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick supply recipes. A fun book, the recipes are simple to follow and make and all the money goes to a good cause.

Summary: Real Food from Real People
Review: I did not originally acquire this book for the food--I did it because it was a good cause and I grew up in the vicinity of the authors--but in the end, it's about the food. While there are pictures of the celebrity authors and contributors, they are infrequent, black and white candids. Newman and Hotchner let the food take the stage and it is the stuff of fun evenings with friends. While some recipes call for Newman's Own products, it is always stated that cooks may substitute another choices. There is some originality to the dishes--consider making a custard with lemonade instead of milk or baking a cake made with pasta sauce. The directions are simple, the food pleasantly earthy. The selection is a bit idiosyncratic but carnivores and vegetarians will find suitable selections. Not bad at all.

Review: I have tried several of the recipes and have not had a single one that I did not like. Good instructions, most of the recipes do not have too many ingredients. My family has complimented everything that I have made.
