Guide Review
Prime Time Emeril, Summary Review
The over 150 recipes in this volume are divided into regular and Emeril-type categories. For example, besides your standard chapters including Salads, Pasta and Rice, and Vegetables, you'll find chapters dedicated to Pork Fat and Macho Meats. In the chapter titled Fall River Memories, the chef pays tribute to the recipes from his Portuguese-French Canadian heritage.  The section devoted to Emerilisms contains recipes that really showcase his personal style.

One of the best parts about the book is that Emeril speaks directly to the reader as he introduces each recipe. Each introduction will give you some kind of insight, whether it's the history behind the dish, suggestions for serving it, or the reason Emeril enjoys it.
