review 1: I'm always glad when my library has cookbooks especially that I want to browse but not buy. This one was interesting the read about the Fabulous Beekman Boys and learn how they taking heirloom recipes and using the freshest of ingredients. Most of the recipes my husband would never eat. Many of the dishes I know I would love to try. The book is setup by season and has places to write notes. A truly well laid out cookbook.
review 2: I thought this was a fun read. I can't give it a five star review only because I received my copy through GoodReads Giveaways, and it was the Advance Reading edition. In the Advance reading copy all the photos and graphic elements are in black and white, so without full knowledge of what these will look like in the final editi... moreon, I have to leave off one star. Other than the images the book was very appealing. The recipes are divided by season. I've had cookbooks that were set up like this before, and the organization seemed a bit forced. In this case though, the brother's descriptions of each vegetable coming into season really brought the structure to life. Another nice touch was the little space on the side of each page for notes and alterations to the recipes. As a person who tends to tweak recipes rather than following them exactly I found this very helpful. The recipes themselves call for fresh seasonal ingredients. Many of them would work well for large groups, and seem easy to throw together. Even those that are fairly complex aren't particularly difficult to make.Overall it was a good book, combining appealing descriptions, a useful layout, clear instructions for beginning cooks, and inspiration for those with more experience. less
