Guide Review - Emeril's Potluck
Emeril has never been known to be subtle or modest. He proves this once again in his latest cookbook offering, "Emeril's Potluck, Comfort Food with a Kicked-Up Attitude". Here you'll find a collection of potluck favorites that have been transformed thanks to Emeril's not so subtle touches. From sausage stuffed mushrooms to Emeril's Chocolate Pudding Extravaganza, these recipes worry about nothing more than good taste. Emeril fans will love the celeb chef's photos that are sprinkled throughout, and will find the text that accompanies the recipes as amusing as the Emerilisms on his cooking programs. Foodies will wish there were pictures of the tempting recipes instead. But whether you love or hate Emeril, the personality, you'll find this book is a useful resource each time you need to choose a recipe for a potluck party.
