Editorial Review:
America's favorite chef Emeril Lagasse is ready to party and show you how to make crowd-pleasing dishes for gatherings with family and friends. From barbeques and tailgate parties to family reunions and holiday buffets, and weekend brunches to bridal showers, the 150 recipes offer comfort food with a kicked-up attitude. Each recipe makes 8-10 servings for favorites such as platters of chicken, tureens of soup, bowls of salad and casseroles of baked pasta. From appetizers and drinks to breads and desserts, Emeril offers you quick, foolproof dishes for home and on the road. 304 pages. Hardback. 9 1/2"L x 7 1/4" W. 1lb. 12 oz.
Emeril Lagasse needs no introduction. TV chef par excellence, and author of eight other cookbooks, he's become something of a one-man industry. Emeril's Potluck, concerned with "comfort food with a kicked-up attitude," follows the MO of his other books--easy, attractive recipes (in this case 150-plus of them) presented in a voce that will be reassuring to some, while all-too-familiar to others. If Potluck seems even more mechanically formulaic than the other books, it nonetheless contains many valuable recipes for a full range of dishes and drinks. Among these, Cajun Quiche, Oven-Poached Salmon with a Pink Grapefruit and Tarragon Sauce, and Slow-Cooked Pork Roast with Barbecue Sauce are representative and worthy. The drink section shouldn't be overlooked and contains recipes for the likes of Milk Shakes for grownups, which include kalúa, and the nonalcoholic mango lassai. Two casserole chapters offer easy treats like Mexican Breakfast Casserole and Risotto and Mushroom Casserole. Desserts like Deep-Dish Banana Pudding with Chocolate Sauce are satisfyingly no-frills. The guiding--perhaps, nominal--idea is that the dishes are perfect for gatherings, picnics, and tailgate parties, but they're also suitable for everyday enjoyment. Readers should also note that many of the recipes require Emeril's food products--for which online sources are given, but no descriptions. --Arthur Boehm

Rating:  - Fabulous cookbook!!
This is one of my all time favorite cookbooks, I am an avid cookbook collector and I don't make too many recipes more than once. This book is wonderful, I use it over and over again ( I have a large family). I make everything ahead of time, and get the most compliments from these recipes...the macaroni and four cheeses, spinach and artichole dip and the brisket are some of my favorites. I cannot say enought about this wonderful book!!!
Rating: - This is his best cookbook.
I own several Emeril cookbooks and most of them are so complicated they are not reproducible at home. This is not the case with Potluck. I have made several recipes from this book and they turned out great and got rave reviews. The Spinach Enchiladas were declared restaurant quality by my brother-in-law. I also made the Spanish Rice and it was awesome. I have made the homemade ranch potato salad and it was a huge hit. The Ambrosia turned out good...I don't have my book in front of me so I can't ...

Rating: - Kick it up a notch
The thing I love about this book is that there are many classic recipes such as green bean casserole and lemon squares that are just so much better than the old recipes.This book is also good for company and large families(of which I am a representative).There are no bland recipes here.They are all to die for.If I had to choose one of my many cookbooks to rescue from a fire,this would definitely be it.
Rating:  - Emeril's Potluck:comfort food with attitude.
I ordered this and another Emeril Cookbook for my daughters Christmas present. When they had not arrived by the 20th, I called Amazon customer service. They said they would send out two more overnight. Well on the 22nd of Dec. both orders arrived here. They were opened by other than me. So now I have to send a set back to you. I'd love to just keep them and save the trouoble, but I really can't afford to do that. If you will e-mail me a return address I will get them in the mail to you.
Sincerely, ... Read More
