Summary: Emeril's Cult will love this book; others may be bummed.
Comment: Cool b&w pix (look a bit like a Calvin Klein ad) and good coverage of basic cooking techniques, along w/ Emeril's trademark of de-mystifying 'fancy cooking terms' make this book a great read (and a small window into his life) for his many fans. There's a wide variety of recipes, mostly basic, simple to do but heavy on the 'wow' factor for novice cooks. Emeril's great strengths include his strong, accessible personality and his ability to instill confidence, and both of these come through strongly. But if you're looking for fancy dishes or nifty new techniques with really innovative presentations, this is not the book for you. Buy this book for 2 reasons: either you are into the Cult of Emeril and just can't get enough of the guy on TV, or you are new to cooking (or never learned the basics) and want an easy & painless way to learn them. Overall, it was light entertainment, with the (out-of-focus) pictures of Emeril & Co. overwhelming the recipes.

Summary: Entertaining, Welcoming, Good eatin'!
Comment: I have been a fan of Emeril Legasse for quite a while. Bottom line... I like this book. I feel that Emeril breaks down the barriers that keep people out of the kitchen. It's NOT rocket science. It shouldn't be. I don't care how "technical" chefs do it. I am not skilled in the culinary arts! I don't need to know the theory behind putting certain foods together. I want it to be simple, and above all tasty. I don't want to have to worry about having a pinch too much of this or that. Who cares if a little extra onion gets in there! Emeril's new book "Emeril's TV Dinners" is fun. I enjoy his relaxed approach to cooking. Sure the recipes might not suggest the healthiest lifestyle... But hey, if it tastes good eat it! This aint no tofu cook book! If you want to eat food that tastes good and doesn't require a twelve step program to prepare, then "Emiril's TV Dinners" is an excellent choice. After all I am sure Emeril is not writing a cookbook for professional chefs... His readers and TV fans want to feel like they have the ability to cook "fancy" dishes in their own homes. "Emeril's TV Dinners" delivers! BAM!

Summary: TV Dinners
Comment: The idea behind this book is a nice commercial packaging ofEMERIl, a
fan book, and recipes. It's not a culinary institution textbook with
rigid rules and exact measurements, it's just like the TV SHOW, get
it? If you don't like the show, don't buy the book.
I bought the
book because I'm an OK cook, but I want to get better, I love Emeril's
approach to cooking, his personality on TV and the personable nature
of his restaurants. The book is designed to be a collection of the
better tapings from his show and the recipes that made the shows
click. How can you present a book about a TV SHOW and not have
pictures? .... Emeril is
correct on one thing, "It ain't rocket science" but he
forgot to remind people to use common sense in the kitchen. I highly
recommend this book if you are a fan of the show and want some recipes
and some background information on Emeril. Remember the title of the
book, it is designed to be just like any of the PBS companion books to
the shows with the same titles. It is a fun book, the recipes do work,
they do allow for improv work, modification, embellishments and they
will make you happy! END
