Love This Beautiful Cookbook
Apples for Jam is one of the best cookbooks I own. Not only is it gorgeous but the recipes are wonderful. Hit's with our family have been the Chicken Cutlets with Tomatoes and Capers, Sausage and Potato Goulash, Scallopini with Ham and Cheese and Chicken Sauteed with Cheese and Milk. My favorite though so far is Penne with Shrimp, Cream and Tomato, which is simply fabulous. The recipes while interesting and delicious are easy to prepare. It brings meals with a gourmet flair to my table without a lot of fuss or time, which I appreciate. The cookbook is beautiful as well and is uniquely organized by color of the dishes which adds appeal as well. A good cookbook to own or to give to as a gift. I highly recommended it.

Lovely cook book
Apples for Jam is a lovely cook book, with beautiful photos and little stories about the recipes. I'm yet to cook anything, but I'm very happy with my purchase.

IF I COULD ONLY READ
Once the cookbook is in good light, it is a delight and pleasure to browse through it, but boy......someone needs to change the print or the book will disappear in its entirty. It would be a great shame, because the recipes are lovely and really easy to work with.
