Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

This follow-up to Fast Food My Way (the companion volume to Pépin's long-running PBS series of the same name) offers dozens of new recipes that are easy to prepare but elegant enough for company. The first chapter, "Minute Recipes," is devoted to quick appetizers and hors d'oeuvres that often can be made from pantry staples (Pépin thinks of the supermarket as his prep cook). The recipes in the other chapters range from Bay Scallops in Mignonnette Sauce, a sort of French seviche, to Risotto with Broccoli Stems to old-fashioned Peach Melba. For most collections.

The book is advertised as having visible markings and wear, normal wear. pages show normal wear.Noe of this is anywhere near true. The cover is separate from the body of the book. There are missing pages. There are markings and notations on many many pages.The book also took 4 months to be delivered. It was a surprise when it arrived this afternoon. Not a pleasant surprise either. The package was undamaged however when i opened the envelope the body of the book and several loose pages fell out.
Thank you for your feedback

the recipes are really fast & easy to prepare - nothing too challenging or goofy ingredients - all are very good.

--- Wasn't please w/ how the box was packed! Just tossed into a box, add some paper, add another order (jug of liquid), some tape - damaged book covers---
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2014
I have only made 4 recipes from this book so far, but they have all been good and am looking forward to trying more. In the TV series this book is based on, Pepin manages to throw together an entire 3 or 4 course meal within the half hour run time of the show. I do not have the knife skills and finely developed ability to multi-task in the kitchen quite that well, but even so, I believe the premise of the book is quite valid. These are easy, delicious recipes that go together quickly. I look forward to exploring more of these recipes! Here are some brief comments on the recipes I have tried so far:

Ham Steaks w/Apricot Mustard Glaze p.162

Simple and quick to throw together. Very tasty. Just be aware that leftovers of this do not keep well. We only ate one steak and refrigated the second. Two nights later I took the steak out to reheat for dinner and found the glaze had deteriorated to a soupy, gray, unappetizing mess. I scraped it off, topped it with a new batch of glaze and threw it under the broiler--it was delicious.

Pumpkin Soup w/Toasted Walnuts p. 47

Simple, quick and delicious. Very mild flavor, pumpkin only obvious in the color of the soup. I coarsely chopped the walnuts and left out the cayenne. Nice light first course. Will do again!

Pork Chops w/Zesty Sauce p. 164

Very tasty! The sauce really makes this dish. In the intro to this recipe, Jacques states that he likes the assertive sauce on bland, lean chops (loin chops are used here). I suppose if that's the strategy, this would also be good on chicken breasts (maybe even fish?). I cooked the vegetables longer than the recipe calls for because I like my onions thoroughly cooked. I will definitely do this again!

Corn & Hominy Chowder p.53

Very nice, tasty and satisfying. I fried the onion, scallion and garlic for much longer than the recipe calls for--if I recall correctly, even Jacques lets his onions fry much longer in the TV episodes than what is called for in the book. I used a bottled tomatillo salsa which gave a mild yet discernible amount of heat to the dish. My wife and I really enjoyed this and have already made it twice.

if i might offer a couple of suggestions>>get this book from your local public library, watch a few episodes of FFMY (YouTube), start cooking>>see if you like what happens with your food.

using the library copy all this month, we've made maybe 12 recipes. the amount of flavor that arises from a relatively few ingredients in each dish is amazing. i will never have the knife skills of jacque, but i can chop an onion and a tomato, cube a potato (cubed potato with garlic and sage--best homefries i ever made; serve with a grilled ribeye or crispy chicken thighs from moreFFMW), buy fittycent worth of olives from the grocery store's olive bar, $.75 of macademia nut from the bulk food section, substitute (within reason) any fresh herb available and attempt nearly all of these recipes without going broke. FFMW TV show is INSPIRING. of the recipes we've attempted: 1 was disappointing, 2 were a bit befuddling, 8 (or so) were knock-em-out'o'da'park HOME RUNS. the opening chapters of both books with MORE quick dishes have rocked my world as well. this book and its sequel have, not to put too fine a point on it, revolutionized mealtime at our house. i hate this...but:):):):)...(insert emoticon of your dreams).

the library is about to get its copy back and amazon says my very own copy will be here within a day or so (we own vol.2 moreFFMW already). the complaint that i have is that this book, while nicely presented, is bound CRAPTACULOUSLY. absolute S@%#T!!! another book with recipes i like very much, rick bayless' "everyday mexican", is likewise falling apart after light use...is this the new trend? great book, great recipes, bad bad binding?

message(s):
1. use and support your public libraries. without curiosity liberty will die.
2. jacque pepin's recipes and techniques have EMBIGGENED my life
3. my wife and i agree that we are consistently eating "the best food, EVAHHH!!!!
4. spay and neuter your animals
5. thank you for your time
6. an easy start is "pork chops with zesty sauce" pg.164.
7. we love vol.2,"MoreFFMW", just as much.
8. life is SOOO much better when "gourmet night" isn't always a trough of baked beans garnished with a few dead dogs.
9. we would like to legally adopt jacque pepin; failing that, we request that he adopt us.

The only reason why I buy a cook book is for the recipes and Jacque doesn't disappoint with this book. The recipes are not complicated but produce good food so I recommend this book if you enjoy cooking for yourself and family.
