Book Reviews of Raclette (Quick & Easy)
Book Review: Not good at all!
Summary: 1 Stars
If you want to buy a good raclette book, buy Raclette: The Insider's Guide to the Secret World of Raclette Dining and not this book here by Claudia Schmidt.
This Christmas my friends showered me with gifts about my new found passion: Raclette. I received everything I asked for, including all four books about raclette that exist in English: This book by Claudia Schmidt titled Raclette (Quick & Easy), Raclette: The Insider's Guide to the Secret World of Raclette Dining, Swissmar Raclette Recipes and Raclette Recipe Book By Trudeau.
Unfortunately, the first very big disappointment was that out of these four books a total of three are actually identical! This book by Claudia Schmidt received a different cover from both Swissmar and Trudeau without any changes to the content. This in itself would cause me to give a zero rating as no sufficient warning was given to this effect. (I must however admit that at least one fellow reviewer did point out this "ripoff", my friends simply didn't read it.)
But even more disappointing is how bad this book compares with The Insider's Guide to Raclette. This book does not even talk about the traditional raclette! It wastes valuable space (it is only 64 pages) with tips what to drink (as if that could not be told in a few words: up to you!), salads and other side dishes and full page table of content pages for each subsection of a few pages! This leaves only about 40 pages (including 20 pages of photos) of "real" content... If you do not have a hot stone on top of your raclette grill, well you're down to about 30 pages including pictures.
So how do these 30 pages (15 pages of recipes) compare to Raclette Australia's 96 pages book? If you have grown up with raclette and are getting bored of having the same recipes again and again, then Claudia's book is not bad if you buy it for less than $3. But if you are new to raclette, don't buy it, go straight to the obvious choice: The Insider's Guide to Raclette. The Insider's Guide explains history and present developments of all things raclette in a way only an insider can, without ever getting boring, it is oozing with knowledge that Claudia Schmidt unfortunately either doesn't possess or simply forgot to write about. The Insider's Guide contains traditional and modern raclette recipes plus so much more. See also my review on that book.
In summary: Don't buy Claudia Schmidt's book, go for the better choice instead, The Insider's Guide to Raclette.
