Kitchen Solutions: Substitutions, Basic Formulas and Essential References

Summary: Convenient Reference for the Kitchen
Review: After reading the other reviews for this book I was cautious about buying it but went ahead anyway. I'm glad I did! I've used the book 4 times in the past week. While none of the information is necessarily new and you probably already have the information in your general cookbook, what make this book great is that it is well organized and easy to use. I bought it primarily for the substitution section. Last night I ran out of sour cream for a baking recipe and I referred to it for a substitution (sour milk). I also used it to find out how many teaspoons equal a tablespoon so I could accurately add half a tablespoon (1 1/2 teaspoons). It also has instructions to make seasame oil, which I could have used a couple of weeks ago. I find this to be a handy cooking book that I expect to referred to again and again.

Review: I liked this book so much that I shared it with several friends and coworkers. They were also impressed by the formulas and shortcuts. I made the barbque sauce recipe and intend to copy the spice mixtures. The substitutions would be especially helpful for someone with food allergies, health problems, or wanting a creative substitution in a pinch. It is a little pricey but the spiral binding and hard cover make it an easy book to use because it lays flat while you are using it.

Review: Is she kidding? Ms. Newens should specialize in writing for infants and toddlers, rather than cookbooks for adults. It does have one use: Your children will enjoy coloring all over its pages.
