Book Review: A Long Lost Treasure Chest
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this cookbook. In typical Cook's Illustrated style all the recipes use ingredients that are easily found in any grocery store and contain directions that are detailed and easily followed along with photo illustrations for some of the more complicated steps. I can understand why some people thumb through the cookbook and don't think the recipes look good, some of them sound disgusting by the title alone (Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake - sounds very unappetizing but the sauerkraut adds moisture to the cake and a texture that is coconut like. The end result has no sauerkraut flavor. Oh and it is sinfully delicious!).
My only complaint is that some of the recipes weren't all that lost. Granted in a few cases ATK offers a twist on the recipe (Real carrot cake uses a rum glaze instead of the standard cream cheese frosting). But in a few cases the recipe seems just like the one I was already using (Gram's Doughnuts - though very good - wasn't different from the other doughnut recipes I had in any of my other cookbooks).
If you get a chance, thumb through the book before you buy it. It certainly won't be for everyone. But right now this is my favorite cookbook. The Monkey Bread and Just Chicken Pie alone are worth the price of admission.
