Book Review: Lots of Zesty Variety
Summary: 5 Stars


Big Orange Book is an excellent resource for those who want a lot of tasty thirty-minute recipes, a la Rachael Ray. Even more than usual, she has provided spicy and interesting tastes.

Why is called a Big Orange Book? Ms. Ray says that she likes the color.

Here's the Table of Contents so you can see the distribution of subjects:

1. 30-Minute Meals (Often the recipes are grouped to make interesting meals) Page 11
2. Entree Burgers Page 113
3. Vegetarian Meals Page 139
4. Kosher Meals Page 171
5. Meals for One Page 197
6. A Little More than 30 Minutes . . . But Worth It Page 222
7. From My Family to Yours (Family Recipes Shared) Page 247
8. Starters and Snacks Page 269
9. Holiday Menus Page 301

As you can see the smaller sections are like appetizers on those subjects rather than entrees. But they will give you some nice variety. If you keep a kosher kitchen, this book won't give you what you need to feed your family. It's a little strange to find kosher recipes in a book that features so many pork-based dishes.

If you know someone who is just starting out with cooking and who likes Rachael Ray, this is probably the right book to give as a gift for that person's first cookbook by the nonstop chef.

Here are some of my favorite recipes in the book:

Quick Pork Pozole
Rock Soup
Potato Soup with the Works
Cacciatore Stoup with Turkey Sausage Meatballs

Steak House Shepherd's Pie
Sliced Steaks with Sauerbraten, Onion Hash Browns, and Spiced Red Cabbage
Indian Spiced Beef and Warm Curry Potato Salad, Tangy "Creamed" Spinach
Pork Chops in Tangy Fire-Roasted Tomato Sauce and Bacon Pea Polenta
Spicy-Sweet Watermelon and Watercress Salad with Grilled Hot and Sour Shrimp

Tilapia with Balsamic Brown Butter and Creamy Farfalle with Bacon, Tomato, and Peas
Portuguese-Style Roasted Cod with Tomatoes, Stovetop Potatoes, and Cut Green Beans
South by Southwest 7-Layer Sliders

Chipotle-Pumpkin-Black Bean Soup with Cranberry Sour Cream and Apple-Jalapeno Salsa
Black Bean Chili

Four-Layer Mediterranean Dip
Mediterranean Feta Dip

Mother's Day Pasta Sampler
Tea Party
Passover Feast

The Ultimate BBQ Burger with Chipotle Ranch Sauce
German Cheese and Beer Fondue
Turkey Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie
Orange Balsamic Cornish Hens

Get ready for some very tasty, quick meals!
