Seriously Simple (Deck)
by Diane Rossen Worthington
Chronicle Books
ISBN 978-0-8118-6410-7
Published October 2008 - Card Deck - 50 cards - $14.95

What a great packaging idea!  Recipes on cards that you can spread out on a table and choose from.  Each of the 50 recipes has a picture of the dish on the reverse.  And like any good "cookbook", this deck offers the Basics (recipes for Basil Pesto, Basic Vinaigrette, and others).  Categories covered are Appetizers; Soups; Salads; Vegetables; Meat; Seafood; Poultry; Pasta/Potatoes, and Desserts.  These recipes appealed to me: Butternut Squash and Chestnut Soup with Chipotle Cream; Colorful Coleslaw (looks delicious); Pork Chops with Sweet Cherry Peppers; Grilled Tequila-Lime Shrimp, and Crostini with Mascarpone, Berries, and Honey.  With some recipes there are also wine pairings, which is always helpful.  I love the feel (good quality card stock) of the cards, and handling them is a delight.
Illustrated.  No nutritional guides.
Conclusion - Almost two month's worth of great recipe ideas.  The cards are a fun idea and would make an ideal gift idea.
