 Rating:  - A wonderful present!I got this book as a christmas present from my sister and brother in law and loved it immediately. It still is one of the most beautiful cookery books I own and I've got about 300 - 400, roughly estimated. But it is not only extremely beautiful, it's also interesting to read (and no, it's not supposed to be a memoir, it says " a world of family recipes" on the front, so it will obviously be mainly about cookery) and the recipes are just great. I'm the queen of cheesecakes at work now, just because of Tessa's marvellous "Ricotta Tart with a Chocolate Crust". The ricotta makes a wonderfully light cake (but if you can't get any just use full fat cream cheese) and the added orange juice and rind give it a fresh moreish taste. People will definitely ... Read More: Rating: - food loverI bought this book when it first came out, and it is now my favourite recipe book of all time, which is not bad for a person with over 100 cookbooks. The recipe for Ludi's chicken produces the most delicious potatoes, and every time I cook it I am asked for the recipe. As Tessa Kiros says, these spuds are delicious hot or cold, but the only way they survive long enough to get cold is to cook twice the amount! People drool at the memory of it. The feta and chickpea salad is tangy and very moreish. I have tried most of the recipes and keep going back for more. This is family cooking at its best. Rating: - Simple and tastyGorgeous book - lovely to look at even if you don't intend using it to cook with - if you do, even better. The recipes are simple, you don't need a trolley full of ingredients, very easy to follow and wonderfully tasty rather than simply following the latest food fad. My favourite so far is the vanilla ice cream which beats anything you can get in the shops - and you don't need an ice-cream maker. Rating: - An Exquisite Find : )I have fallen in love with this enchanting book. Just on the basis of a collection of recipes this is still a fantastic book, but this is far more than just a collection of recipes. In Tessa Kiros's Falling Cloudberries she has created an immensely personal journey through different lands and experiences and the resulting eclectic mix of foods and approaches to recipes. It is an exquisite book both visually (it is of an exceptionally high quality) and through the generosity of Tessa's fascinating biography allowing the recipes she has chosen to really come alive. I look foward to getting to know this book well. What a treasure and what a treat. You will want to share this book with everyone who is dear to you, as Tessa ... Read More: Rating:  - The author's personal collection of family recipes from around the world.This delightful tome takes the reader on a worldwide journey, experiencing the cuisine of the author's best-loved places. `Finland still remains a dream; a faraway land where Father Christmas lives and glides here and there with his sleigh, ducking through falling cloudberries and past my mother ice-skating to school.....' `Falling Cloudberries, A World of Family Recipes' is Tessa's second book, a personal collection of family recipes from around the world. The exquisite cover opens up to reveal a recipe mix of unusual, exotic tastes and familiar, family favourites. A family tree introduces Tessa's family members and the book is further enhanced by old family photos. This gives the recipes a sense ... Read More: |
