[.ca] Royal Caribbean Family Cookbook (ISBN 0847823822)

No-fail recipes that everybody will love:
The food in this cookbook by Chef Rudi Sodamin is totally delicious! I heard about this book from a friend who went on a Royal Caribbean cruise and thought the food was great. I'm not usually a big fan of carrots, but these baked carrots with olive oil, dill, and a little maple syrup were just fantastic. The Osso Buco was the best my family ever had. Other dishes my family loved were the Grilled Island Strip Steak with Caramelized Onion and Rum Glaze, the Pasta, Shrimp, and Salmon Salad, and the Rigatoni Pesto. Some other dishes I haven't tried yet but want to are the Chilled Roasted Peach Soup and Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. We love desserts, and one of them is worth the price of the book alone - the Flourless Chocolate Cake, a decadent treat that's a chocoholic's dream Unlike some other cookbooks I've used, this is easy to cook from. The directions are simple and clear, and give you tips that make it foolproof. It's organized to help you put together a whole meal - it goes from appetizers, soups and salads and follows through with pastas, entrees, and desserts. There are some delicious-sounding recipes for people watching their weight, too - like a Crunchy Chicken Salad with Granny Smith Apples and Bulgur. For people looking for new ideas that are fun and so good your friends will ask for the recipe, this book really works!
