by
Amy Traverso

Overall, I like this book--and I don't actually consider it to be primarily as a cookbook as the name suggests. The Apple Lover's Cookbook is part history, part entertaining read, and part cookbook. The author covers an introduction to the history of the apple and the incredible genetic diversity. The next time you eat or cut open an offer, consider that each seed is a completely unique item. Each seed would produce completely different apples if grown to that stage--and the resulting fruit may...more
I am going to try every apple they mention at the front of the book. It has become my one of my goals in life! This book is very informative, concise and inspiring. I love how they set up the recipe, with a blurb about the recipe, followed by the tips, notes & equipment. I love when they tell me what I need before I become too attached to the recipe.
Well, a few of these recipes were kind of rinky-dink, probably won't make them. But many of the others were simple and look delicious. I especially liked the full-color apple guide with some new varieties to look for--she even included some specific to my region. I wish there would have been more photos, but a very nice cookbook with some good ideas.
The type of cookbook you want to own but will never use.
Wish the recipes had been more accessible.
Love the picture dictionary of the apples at the beginning.
Wish I could cut out all of the pictures and post them on my wall.

A lovely cookbook. It has an in depth guide in the beginning to different apple varieties and what are the best uses for each apple. The Apple Dutch Baby and Coffee Cake have been very popular in my house.
This book is so cool! It includes a wealth of fascinating material on the history and genetics of apples, along with detailed info and categorization of quite a few common and less common apple varieties. It really inspired me to hunt out some of the more unusual varieties :)
The recipes are also quite good! I have made several, including the oatmeal topped apple crisp, the cider brined turkey w/gravy, the pate, and the braised cabbage/sausage/cider dish. There are many more I plan on making as...more

Love this book. It includes great information for baking or cooking with apples every day. Many of the recipes are also simple enough to be incorporated into a regular food routine.
I really like this book. Most of the recipes are simple and easy to fix. The apple, sweet potato and ginger soup was REALLY good.
This would be a fantastic gift for the person in your life who loves to cook and who loves apples.
