Review # 1 was written on 2013-07-12 00:00:00 Corey Mroz I purchased this book with my first set of enamel-covered cast iron dutch ovens. In the ensuing year I have made many of these recipes over and over, especially the braised short ribs and the roasted potatoes. I have yet to follow a recipe in this book and have it fail. Most have come out amazingly tasty and to raving reviews from my family and myself. The other lovely thing is that this cookbook teaches a method, not just recipes. Using the author's advice, I have made many dishes of my own based on her recipes and preparation methods. This style of cooking is very low and slow with a fair amount of prep work for the dishes, but once everything is in the oven I just go about my day and let the braising work its magic. These have been some of the best suppers I've had, hands down. This book is comprehensive in scope, but so easy to understand and follow. Everything is explained without any fuss or muss, as though a good friend were teaching you in their kitchen. If you buy one book on braising, this is definitely the one!

Review # 2 was written on 2007-09-10 00:00:00 Perry Vine I'm a sucker for big flavor and slow cooking. This is got it all. Our favorites: short ribs braised in porter ale with maple-rosemary glaze; sirloin pork chops braised with hot cherry peppers; country-style ribs braised with chipotle, roasted tomatoes, & red peppers; Moroccan spice-rubbed lamb shoulder chops; braised endive with Prosciutto. My god, this book is delicious.
