Golden Cauliflower and Plum Tomatoes and a Review and Giveaway of Starters and Sides Made Easy

October 3, 2013 by overtimecook 225 Comments

Golden Cauliflower on OvertimeCook

As you all know, I love cookbooks. Basically all cookbooks. But it’s not every day that my good friends and colleagues publish a book, so this one has me extra excited!

The dynamic author-duo of Leah Schapira and Victoria Dwek have done it again. You may remember my review of their last joint effort, Passover Made Easy, and how much I loved it. Well, they have absolutely outdone themselves in their latest effort, Starters & Sides Made Easy. Ready to read what I thought? (Scroll down past my review for your chance to win your own copy!)

At first glance:

As with their previous book, Starters & Sides Made Easy is chock full of creative and inventive ideas, beautifully photographed dishes, and eye catching design, not to mention, helpful tips and engaging and entertaining writing. Seriously, this book has a way of drawing you in…and making you drool!

Some Features I Liked:

One of the first things I noticed about this book was the excellent organization. Some people might think of starters and sides as it’s own category, but when you have an entire book devoted to them, categorizing can get tricky. This book is cleverly arranged into a category for vegetables, one for grains, another for meat and chicken, yet another for fish, one for dairy, and lastly, a sweet sides category. As you can see, the book really covers the whole range!

Next, as in their previous book, Starters and Sides has a wealth of kitchen knowledge (those authors know their stuff – as editors for both the world’s best weekly kosher magazine, Whisk, and CookKosher.Com, the world’s largest kosher recipe sharing site, they really have a ton of info to share!). Before they start on the actual recipes, the authors share a “building blocks” section, where they teach you things like how to roast vegetables, how to add flavor to your mashed potatoes and how to make perfect rice. They also include a comprehensive spice guide, and plating suggestions before every chapter!

Another thing I love about this book is the variety and innovation of ideas. Always thought coleslaw was a mayonnaise loaded salad made with cabbage? Think again. In this book, coleslaw gets fried into mouthwateringly delicious looking balls!

You probably noticed by now that I mention the photography in all of my cookbook reviews. Well, this book has breathtakingly beautiful pictures of wonderfully and smartly styled food.

Lastly, a number of the chicken and meat recipes can easily be turned into mains, which is a nice bonus for the book!

Some Recipes I Can’t Wait to Try:

I don’t even know where to start here! I want to make basically everything in this book…from Shwarma Egg rolls to coleslaw balls and sticky red potatoes!

The recipe I am most excited to try is their Crispy Beef. That dish is a favorite of mine at Asian restaurants, so I am really excited to try it at home!

Another recipe I am dying to make is the Barbecue Noodles. Partly because they look so absolutely delicious, and partly because I was actually there helping out one day at the photo shoot, and I got to taste these straight from the source. And I can absolutely vouch for their awesomeness.

Another recipe on my “I’ll make it as soon as I have a good excuse” list is the Falafel Cigars. Think hybrid between an egg roll, a falafel sandwich and a meat filled cigar, and you have a pretty good idea of why I am so enthralled by this recipe!

I could go on all day, but I’ll leave you to buy the book and pick your favorites yourself!

Who This Cookbook is For:

If you love to cook, and are constantly looking for delicious and creative new things to cook, you’re going to love this book.

Specifically, the book contains a ton of ideas for holidays, parties, and other special occasions, so if you find yourself cooking for one of the above, and you’re stuck on the menu, this book will be a complete lifesaver!

Who This Cookbook Isn’t For:

The only people that I can think of who wouldn’t enjoy this book are those on special diets (for example, if you don’t eat gluten, lots of these recipes will be off limits to you.)

Also, if you are looking for a book full of simple and every day recipes…this book has them, but a lot of the recipes are for special occasions.

What I Didn’t Like About This Cookbook:

As I just mentioned, the book is chock full of ideas for special occasions, but has fewer ideas for everyday suppers. Not to say that it doesn’t have recipes that are bound to make it onto your every day supper rotation, like sesame orzo, zucchini and scallion fries, or barbecue noodles, among others, but there are fewer of that type of recipe.

My only other issue with the book is that many of the recipes require frying, making them both less healthy and not as quick to prepare.

Conclusion:

Overall, this cookbook is an excellent addition to your collection! It has delicious recipes, innovative ideas, inspired flavors, beautiful pictures and is guaranteed to make you drool! I really can’t say enough about this book…now go out and buy yourself a copy! 

And now, for a sample recipe…this cauliflower dish is healthy and delicious and takes just a couple of minutes to throw together…how’s that for a winning recipe!

    My go to side dish is lo mein. One box of pasta goes a long way and you can add whatever veggies you have on hand – mushrooms, baby corn, water chestnuts, snow peas, scallions. You can easily make it a main dish by adding some stir fried chicken strips. Everyone loves it.

    Go-to side dish recipe: Put about 1/4 inch of water in pot, place over medium flame. Reach in freezer, pull out something in a green bag. Empty bag into pot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover. Bring to boil and lower flame. Steam until done. tada! Not my most exciting recipe, but you asked for “go-to”

    Hi. We’ve never met…but having read the review, I think we will see more of each other. My go to is roasted veggies. They are so versatile and they pump up the flavor whether I turn them into a soup, throw them in some pasta, bake them in a cake or eat them before anyone else has a chance. Can’t wait to see the cookbook.

    Happen to love starting off a meal with a good salad. If you serve salads individually on a plate to start off everyone at the meal it becomes a whole dish instead of something extra lying around the table
