When the people at Diamond of California, the world’s leading marketer of nuts, decided to create a cookbook, they scoured their archives, developed dozens of new recipes, and turned to some of America’s best loved chefs, cooking teachers, and food writers for more.

Nuts: Sweet and Savory Recipes from Diamond of California
I have been using the new Diamond cookbook for a few weeks and want to say that the recipes are very usable. Most ingredients are on my shelf, the directions are simple, effective, and the results so far for all the recipes I have tried have been just perfect. I have been surprised at how easy the preparations are. With some cookbooks, I feel it necessary to try the recipes out before cooking for company but with this book that has not been necessary. I enjoy the many different types of recipes as well as the beautiful pictures. Lovely cover photo also!

a must have
one of my top 5 favorite cookbooks- many accessible yet impressive recipes with a good variety of appetizers, entrees, sides, desserts. I'm giving them to everyone I know as wedding gifts. a good way to incorporate nuts into your diet.
