Over 300 Hearty Recipes for Every Season

#TheEncyclopediaofSoupsandStews #NetGalley

Here is a book that home cooks will enjoy as the weather gets colder. With more than 300 recipes, there is so much to choose from. Recipes are sorted by categories such as Pasta, Noodles & Dumplings; Vegetables; Poultry; Chilled Soups & Desserts, and more.

The photos made me hungry. The recipes seemed easy enough to follow. There is information on how long each one will take to prepare, ingredients are listed on the left hand side of the page, and the recipe is on the right.

Note too that there is much helpful information in the beginning section of the book.

This book will make a welcome addition to a cookbook shelf. It would also make a nice gift. At close to 500 pages, there is much to enjoy.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for this title. All opinions are my own.
