Summary: The New England Cookbook Takes You Home
Comment: Brooke Dojny has written a sensational book with personal anecdotes and insights that are both heart-warming and mouth watering. Literally, I began salivating just at the descriptions of some of the recipes. As former managing editor of The Cook's Magazine and other national food magazines, I've read a few recipes in my time. These are tempting without being daunting. Try the North End Veal Piccata and you'll never make it any other way again. If you think New England cooking is always plain or boring, think again. Brooke has discovered some exotic items with such divers origins as Portugal and Poland. And she found them all in New England. So, even if the recipe sounds unusual, it's still home cookin' at its best. This is a cook's cookbook--no fancy, flossy photos--just recipes that work without too much work from the cook. And some really nice stories to set the mood for the meal. You will love this book no matter where you're from.

Summary: A "must have" for every kitchen!
Comment: Not only is this book filled with the classic chowder, lobster and other Yankee fish recipies one would expect from a New England Cookbook, the book is filled with ethnic flavors and modern twists. Using these recipes, Thanksgiving dinner was the best I've ever had (No-Cook Cranberry Kumquat Relish is unbelievable). I've been using the book at least once a week (Maple-Mustard Pork Medallions were a big hit as were the Mini-Crab Cakes with Lime Pepper Sauce). The anecdotes are informative and entertaining and the recipies are easy to follow. I like the fact that most of them use ingredients that are easy to find. Additionally, for cooks who read cookbooks for inspiration, this is as good as it gets. I can't say enough about it, and for the price it's an absolute steal.

Summary: Bring New England home
Comment: I bought this book after my trip to New England, and I was not disappointed. I love to cook, and I prefer cookbooks written by professionals who know the difference between restaurant cooking and home cooking, know history of cuisine they present, and share personal stories. All of the above I found in the Brooke Dojny's book. I have tried 15 recipes over the past 6 weeks, and all of the results came out terrific and tasting very much like what I ate in Connecticut, Maine, and Massachusetts. I also find the recipes that I have tried to be very easy to follow. Following the recipe for Italian veal piccata, I produced the dish that tastes better than in most Italian restaurants in California and other parts of the States. The recipe for meat loaf is simply the best available! I also appreciate all the forewords and notes for recipes.
