If I can skip or simplify a step and get the same result, I will." She believes that preparing and sharing simple but delicious food is the cornerstone of a good life. "In a world that places so many demands on our lives, taking a few minutes to prepare a meal and enjoy the ritual of eating together provides a rhythm to daily life and gives us a sense of belonging and connection," she says.Inspired by daily harvests from her vegetable garden and orchard on the shores of Lake Wanaka in New Zealand's scenic Southern Alps, Annabel's recipes are delicious yet still healthy, and impressive but easy.
What a wonderful find! I am addicted to cooking TV shows and found Annabel one day while browsing...I loved it! I immediately went online to investigate and bought this book. It just arrived today so therefore I can't comment on the recipes just yet (but I will after Christmas), but I can tell you it is a beautifully presented book from cover to cover. It is organized and easy to read, and inside the covers I see some of the recipes that are now showing on the TV series of the same name that drew me in. Inside the book on page 8 is an introduction worth reading. It states that the recipes are all assumed to use convection temps, and if you must use regular bake, add 20 degrees F, and increase cooking time by 10-15%. My oven allows both convection and regular bake, but if it didn't, it would be just fine bc all ovens vary anyway. The recipes give measurements in cups and ounces, but in the back of book is a conversion chart if you want to change cups to milligrams...which I do like to do when baking with flour...I find weight measurements for baking more reliable. Some recipes include the bar codes on the page so you can scan it with your smartphone should you be so inclined in order to see the video of the recipe attached to it. --Joanne
Every cookbook should be this well done. Everything from the TV series is here. Every recipe has photos (A Must!). The QR codes are a very nice addition - the videos let you watch her do it. If only every recipe had a video... Maybe next time. The book is well bound, lies flat when open. and has 2 ribbon bookmarks (evenly spaced) bound in to keep your place. --Anoman
I’ve followed Annabel Langbein on PBS Create television (I love her blue pattern measuring cup) but this is the first time I’ve purchased a cookbook by her. I think she’s been interesting and now she’s matured in terms of her cooking. She now comes up with new twists on appetizers and certainly shares dinner and dessert recipes that make sense to try. Her focus on fresh ingredient Mediterranean dishes is especially pleasing to me. I may even try fresh fennel, an ingredient I have avoided even when Ina Garten uses it in a recipe. Also her salad dressings are very tasty. The big thing is that New Zealand has great lamb and now that I live in Ohio so do I. That means that Annabel Langbein’s cookbook has new relevance AND her careful and sophisticated recipes look so much better to my cooking eye. I would encourage you to watch her show on PBS Create and see fo yourself. --Dinkydoright
