Reviews of “Feenie’s”
"Vancouver chef Rob Feenie has produced yet another good-looking cookbook with an international collection of simple recipes and an outstanding layout using John Sherlock's catchy photographs." Gazette, The (Montreal, PQ), Nov 30, 2005 |
"...a third helping of his artful cuisine." "...Feenie crafts an intricate blend of French, Asian, and North American cuisine within a staggering array of flavors and textures." "Brilliantly colored photographs illustrate nearly every recipe, and like its two predecessors, Feenie's latest cookbook is full of mouth-watering descriptions, dazzling visuals, and congenial commentary." "Feenie is still a master craftsman, and his recipes reflect that." Northwest Palate Magazine, Jan 1, 2006 |
"...Brunch, Lunch, Dinner is a wonderfully simple book, offering bistro recipes from his newest restaurant, Feenie's, acconpanied by only the most spartan of comments from the chef himself." "The recipies are a thrill... This is haute comfort food, and it rocks." "Brunch, Lunch, Dinner shows what can be done with a trade paperback and a little imagination. ...the book is presented in an elegant rectangular format with French flaps and colour photos throughout. [It]... says volumes about a chef's confidence." "...[a] milestone in Canadian cookbooks - a small, confident collection of superb recipes from a superstar chef in an almost-perfect package." Quill & Quire, Dec 1, 2005 |
"There's a sense of lightness and fun permeatinv the entire book where you'll find the famous Feenie's Weenie as well as the flavourful and fabulous Feenie Burger complete with zingy relish... I like too that Feenie exposes himself a little more in the intros to each recipe, sharing insights and anecdotes." Barbara Jo's Books To Cooks, Apr 8, 2006 |
"While this cookbook is based on homier bistro cooking, Feenie has infused the recipes with enough surprise elements to keep matters interesting." "Feenie's sophisticated approach to cooking makes it an edifying read, and the food itself, captured in beautiful color photos, is something to behold." Publishers Weekly, Apr 24, 2006 |
