Simple Soups & Stews
Better Homes and Gardens (Meredith Books)
ISBN 0-696-21348-6
Published August 2003 - Ringbound - 192 pages - $19.95

Yay, another ringbound cookbook - just what I love about these books.  Perfect for using in the kitchen.  Here you'll find constructive Q & A's and lots of tips throughout, which are often not addressed.  Once again, these recipes also have fast or low-fat symbols for quickly assessing if suitable for what you're looking for.  With the cold winter season upon us, this book is bound to be a hit.  A winning selection of poultry soups and stews, meat soups and stews, seafood, meatless, and side dishes.  I fancy the Creamy Broccoli Soup (fast), Bratwurst and Potato Soup, Chinese Beef and Noodle Soup (fast), Sherried Salmon Bisque (fast), and Caramelized Onion Soup.  I loved the tip of "fresh ginger forever" on page 51 - it is touches like these that make this book a cut-above the rest out there.  The usual Better Homes and Gardens tried-and-tested applies, as does the nutritional facts per recipe.  This book has many of the same recipes as Soups and Stews, which is also reviewed here, and which was published 10 years ago.
Conclusion - A stunning addition to any kitchen - treat yourself and get a copy for your kitchen, or, as a holiday gift.
