First of its kind-a true essential !! Apr 29, 2006
By Lily This is first book I have ever seen that has information on all kinds of pots and pans. I am so happy to be able to make things like Paella and how to use a fish poacher. I did not know I had so much to learn and the author makes it fun and interesting. Fantastic easy to follow recipes!!

Thank you from a happy bride! Aug 04, 2005
By angeltears I received a fish poacher as a wedding gift and had no idea how to use it. My search led me to this book. Little did I know that it would also teach me how to use a fondue pot, wok, griddle, grill pan, etc. A "braiser pan" ??? HAHAHA, you should taste my cooking thanks to this book! I can make crepes! OH (!) I almost forgot, the other books this author has published are just as good, what a teacher. Of course, as all brides do, I also received a kitchen aid mixer. Well my goodness the book she did for that teaches you how to use all the stuff you can get to do all sorts of cool stuff. FIVE STARS ALL AROUND!! And the photos are fantastic!

The perfect choice for the new cook just learning about cookware options and uses Oct 08, 2005
By Midwest Book Review Author Jamee Ruth's expertise in cookware pairs with lovely color photos by Leigh Beisch to cover the various shapes, sizes and uses for cookware and how they differ from each other in The Cookware Cookbook. From specialty pans like a fish poacher to recipes which teach readers how to choose between pots and pans, The Cookware Cookbook starts with the pan and produces a recipe to fit, demonstrating its use. The Cookware Cookbook is the perfect choice for the new cook just learning about cookware options and uses, and would be a welcome addition to any kitchen cookbook collection.

FULL OF FLAVOR !! Jan 26, 2006
By cookin'mom
"cookin'mom"
I love this book ! My family has eatin up everything I make. I am going to make Halftime Chili for Superbowl this year. Every recipe in this book has been so easy to follow and delicious. It has encouraged me to place more pots and pans that I would have never had the courage to use on my wish list. I am excited to make ALL the recipes in this book. My kids even look through it and ask "mommy will you make this"-I recommend this and will certainly buy Jamee's other books!!
More than a Cookbook Sep 15, 2011
By Brenda M. Walker This is the cookbook for those who are just starting to cook. The explaination of
what pan or dish to use for each dish is a helpful tool. I wish I had had this
