Book Reviews of The Northern Exposure Cookbook: A Community Cookbook from the Heart of the Alaskan Riviera
Book Review: Recipe success rate 100% so far.
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only is this book a real hoot for Northern Exposure fans, it's the only cookbook I've bought in years in which no recipe has failed (yet). Every one I've tried so far has turned out just great on the first try. Experienced cooks know just how rare that is. Ruth-Anne's Meat Loaf (dried bread crumbs are fine) and The Brick's Spaghetti and Meatballs (by all means make the meatballs, but I sometimes cheat and used canned sauce) are now part of my standard repertoire, and the recipes are frequently requested by guests. Adam's Lamb Stew is terrific, but a bit more work. Overall, one of my all-time favorite cookbooksBook Review: Kind of like playing a Northern Exposure role-playing game!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is presented as if the reader is a resident of Cicely purchasing a cook book for a community fund-raiser. Lots of fun for fans of the show, because they will feel just like "one of the gang". Ruth Anne's character "edits" the book, but each character presents his or her recipe themselves. Very well done, everybody is definitely "in-character". Adam's contributions are especially funny. A must for all true fans!
