Fabulous! You can't imagine how happy I was to have heard she had put out a cookbook too! The layout is unique, but great and everything I have tried thus far has been very good. My fiance loves it when he sees me poking into it. I think if I hadn't been to the demo I would be a litle leary of trying out some "new" spices. (In my house we use a lot of fresh basil and cilantro aka Italian or Mexican food, so this was a bit of a leap.) But knowing how much I loved her restaurant made it easier for me to put in an order for those harder to find ones. I placed my order in at Christina's Spices across the street from Oleanas and have decided to purchase a total of 12 of the cookbooks with enough spices to give as part of a gift set. Some for friends weddings 6 of them for thank you gifts for some of the helpers for my own wedding. Clifford A. Wright, author of the James Beard Cookbook of the Year A Mediterranean Feast "Only a brilliant chef like Ana could have created such a warm and evocative cookbook filled with enticing recipes." Paula Wolfert, author of The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean "This book beautifully codifies the marvelous dishes Ive eaten at Oleana, all of which bear her special inventive touch." |
