Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Frog Commissary Cookbook

Book Review: Food Visionary
Summary: 5 Stars

Steven Poses was a visionary in the culinary field. In 2001 the cuisine of the US has finally develop into the vision he first wrote about back in 1985. With all the culinary interest of today, I hope the publishers will reconsider and issue a reprint of this remarkable cookbook. Unlike my sister, I will not loan my copy out!

Summary of Frog Commissary Cookbook

The Frog Commissary Cookbook rises out of the experience of Poses's restaurants and catering business. It's not an easy collection to finger, to size up and categorize with a single swipe of the pen. And that makes for some exciting page turning. This would be a good book to have on the shelf and open when you simply don't know what to do or what you are looking for.

You'll find goodies like Bourbon Pecans (this "Hors d'Oeuvres" section ends with 25 quick ideas; the same is true of the "Salads" and "Pizzas" sections), Chicken in Romaine Leaves with Lime Hot Sauce, Corn and Clam Chowder, a plethora of creative salads and dressings, Seafood Stew with Aioli, Stir-fried Duck with Chinese Sausage, Italian Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus and Prosciutto, and Pumpkin Waffles. This book is all over the place, leaving a trail of deliciousness in its wake.

According to Poses, exemplary care was taken to work out the recipes in an apartment kitchen and not on a professional stove. While all the recipes have proved popular over the years in Poses's restaurants, they were all written from scratch for the home cook. --Schuyler Ingle
