Creme De Colorado Cookbood.......2007-07-30
I have purchased book for a cousin as I've had tremendous success with
many recipes in this book and value it.
Never fail cookbook.......2006-11-07
This was the first cookbook my parents bought me when I moved out. It's the cookbook I turn to when entertaining. Favorites include the mustard chicken in phyllo and maroon bell cheese spread. Guests always ask for the recipes.
Cut Above Other Recipe Collections!.......2002-01-29
Likely you too have scanned or even invested in those recipe collections to fund a worthy effort, either not expecting to use the recipes or had to search through to find those that one even would want to attempt. Not the case with this collection of the Jr. League of Denver! And over half-a-million in print to date! You'll want one before it goes out of print!
This is large, rich colleciton that is well thought out, organized and bursts forth with uniqueness, creativity and breadth.
Some unique features are its individual sections on Colorado Wild, Mexican and HealthMark Modifications. For example, the game section using Colorado abundance of wildlife is buy a doctor who is in to this, who gives recommendations on preparing to remove gaminess and to improve flavor and maintain health.
How about Wild Pheasant Stroganoff! Indicative of the stuff you'll love finding here and trying.
Also a plus to this delight is notes which accompany most all of the recipes that tell about alternatives, serving suggestions, history where the dish came from, etc. Adds zest for us foodphiles!
One can easily see why so many other reviewers have raved about this -- it enticed me to try it. I think you will enjoy using this collection too!
My most-used cookbook.......2002-01-01
I have over 200 cookbooks, I often times go to sleep reading cookbooks and I relate to the world in many aspects through my stomach. I love food and cooking. This is definitely my most-used cookbook, I don't know how many times I've looked for a recipe, finally gotten this book out and there it was all the time. I consult this book first. I have several Junior League cookbooks, this is my favorite. Everything I have cooked out of this book has been good. Don't even think about it, just buy this book. You won't be diappointed.

This cookbook is one of the best all around cookbooks ever.

disappointed.......2007-05-28
I did not find one entree recipe that I wanted to make. Pictures might have helped. I would have returned the book, but because of other books I purchased, I received free shipping so keeping it was cheaper than sending it back and paying shipping both ways.
Wonderful recipes, wonderful places!.......2006-08-12
I love the recipes in this book, especially the ones from my favorite Southwest restaurants. The recipes are eclectic and easy, and the descriptions are fun. I'm hoping that the next revision will have photos of food and places.

Customer Reviews:
Colorado Cache.......2007-10-09
Junior League cookbooks can be a mixed bag. But generally keep in mind that they represent a community's best cooks showing off for attention.
Southern cookbooks should reflect Southern cooking traditions and so on.
Colorado Cache is a very inviting collection of newer cooking traditions, often new twists on older recipes. Great gift for newlyweds, as it reflects more recent but dependable trends in cuisine. Always keep in mind that a Jr. League cookbook has earned its price if it only generates 4 to 6 favorite recipes for you! Colorado Cache provides wonderful Denver summer and winter favorites.
It's still the best.......2005-04-29
and is the only Denver Junior League cookbook that features original art, easy to use recipes, and is truly a classic.
Great Cookbook for families.......2001-07-11
I grew up eating many meals made from this cook book! And now I use it for my own family. There are great recipes that are not difficult, not time consuming, and use all the basics you already have in your kitchen. Healthy cooking too! I like the Chicken Spagetti-great for potluck dinners!
The Best.......2000-04-17
I bought a second Colorado Cache as I have worn out the first book. Recipes are fantastic, especially the chicken salad.
great book.......1999-08-30
This is a good basic cook book, nothing fancy. The spices used are in your rack already. Super for people like me who like to cook but do not have time or experience for fancy cooking.

Best of the Best from Colorado.......2000-04-20
I have most of the Cookbooks from here in Colorado & I have never been disapointed yet from one of them. I will have to say this one will be just as good as the rest.
Customer Reviews:
Love these recipes!.......2002-10-17
I love this cookbook. We made a fresh peach and goat cheese bruschetta and a squash soup for a late summer dinner from the Colorado Farmers Market Cookbook. Our friends just raved about it. The book also has a lot of really nice color photos of Colorado farms, farmers markets and produce. Recommened as a gift for anyone who loves Colorado or cookbooks.

How many ways do I love this book.......2000-02-06
Although this book is at present out of print a friend managed to pick it up in England having borrowed mine. This truly is a superb cross-stitch resource. The alphabets are divided into various sections such as floral,antique,elegant,baby,kids etc. As with all The Better and Homes And Gardens imprint this is downright lavish in its use of colour and the size of charts. The alphabets are shown finished in myriad ways. It is all here, boxes, cushions, throws, towel borders, afgans and of course alphabet samplers. It is yet another book to make me wish to live and stitch for a thousand years. If I could only ever take one cross-stitch book to a desert island this with be a real contender.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
the nicest patterns I've ever seen in a book.......2005-04-24
As another reviewer noted, these aren't (for the most part) quick-to-stitch designs, but don't be scared off (though there are some items such as a bookmark, sachet bag, etc.). There are bears, birdhouses, hearts, houses, flowers, wedding items, a couple Christmas designs, and children. They are attractive designs with enough detail that they are attractive when finished, but they are not highly time-consuming designs, and scanning the book, I could not find any that you couldn't readily complete with ordinary floss. A rather classy book with a little something for everybody.
Fantastic!.......2004-04-27
This book features absolutely gorgeous charts in a nice variety of styles. The best part, to me, was that the charts are flawless - something you can only achieve by stitching each chart to test it, and someone has obviously done that for this book. I just completed the sampler of rows of houses as a gift for my mother-in-law, and it turned out beautiful.
Fair warning: this is not for the beginner cross-stitcher! But if you have advanced beyond the easy kits and want to really create some art, this book is for you.
Beautiful but hard.......2003-02-20
These are beautiful pictures, but difficult. If your like me and need fast projects because of small children, forget it. They use lots of beads and special threads. I think its great for your library. But these are very long and specialized, detailed graphs. I have to tell you I was happy that I bought it, but I will not be using it soon, some day when I have more time. There are some beautiful wedding samplers, pictures of flowers and no holiday special pictures, which I loved. If you like to work with beads and special threads go for it, if your a simple cross stitch lady like me with no time, wait until you have more time.
10 star winner.......2003-01-15
I admit when I saw the Better Homes and Garden in the title I wrinkled my nose and thought it would be an average, cute book. But I was wrong.
Not only is it a well thought out book with excellent text, photographs and step by step, easy to follow directions but it is a book with ideas for any lifestyle or home decor. My favorites being the rooster on pages 21-23 and the Gloria Sampler on page 29, Mothers Sampler on page 42-43, the various wedding samplers that begin on page 44. I love and am doing the Consider the Lilies piece from pages 78-81 and will soon start the Flower Shop (pages 82-87), and the Family Tree from pages 141-145, which anybody interested in genealogy would love.
I am so glad I bought this book and the Amazon.com price is wonderful !!![...]
Definitely Some Pretty Stitching Going On With This Book!!.......2003-01-11
I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but I had to for this BH&G gem, especially since one hasn't been written as of yet. SOMEone has to let cross stitch fanatics know what they're missing! :)
This book is chock full of gorgeous charts for a variety of topics such as nuptials, love, home, samplers, florals, and hearts, just to name a few. Each one is printed in color and accompanied by clear instructions, as well as a materials and supplies list. In addition, each project has been beautifully stitched and photographed for inspiration.
There's a particular project I consider just one my many favorites, as well as probably the most challenging, called "THE FLOWER SHOP," in which the design is worked on two pieces of fabric and utilizes a combination of several different stitches (besides those of cross stitch) to arrive at a pretty spectacular piece of work. I was both excited, and I must admit, a tad intimidated to try it. If a cross stitch book can arouse this type of reaction out of me, I consider it a definite "keeper" for my library.
"...STITCHING PRETTY..." also contains patterns with instructions for the use of metallic and silk threads, a variety of beads, ribbon, etc. Speaking for myself, I love it when cross stitch books include patterns which call for the use of these items as part of the design, for they only enhance what I am capable of creating with just thread alone.
I happen to adore books with projects dedicated to the different skill levels of counted cross-stitch, especially those geared toward the more experienced stitchers. Very rarely do I see cross stitch books containing patterns for intermediate/advanced stitchers and in my opinion, there should be a lot more of them.
If you're brand new to cross stitching and are just learning the basics, though it DOES include "how-to" illustrations for all of the stitches required to do each project, this book will still probably be a bit too advanced for you. However, if you plan on sticking with it, please purchase the book because I'm sure it will serve as nothing less than an inspiration for you to continue with the craft.
If you're already an intermediate to advanced stitcher, purchasing this book will result in smiles and excitement, as the most troublesome thought you might have is trying to figure out which design you'd like to stitch first!
P.S. Merely just a suggestion...with each chosen pattern, you may want to copy it on a photo copier prior to stitching. It's a very nice quality book and I'm sure you won't want to "age" it prematurely with constant handling. Happy Stitching!! :)

From baby to adult - letters for life.......2007-03-24
When I saw this booklet, I couldn't wait to get my embroidery floss and needle out. My grandchildren all wanted their initials on various jackets, sweatshirts and pillowcases. The littlest boys wanted Space, Bugs All Around or the Creepy Crawly letters while the new baby's mom wanted Noah's Ark on her little girl's sweater. The older kids wanted Fiesta Folk Art which looks like a Mexican Fiesta and our "little princess" wanted In the Garden letters on her pillowcase and Once Upon a Time on a blanket to go in her play castle.
Needless to say, I had to get busy. The graphics were large enough for my "over 40" eyes to read without having to get new glasses and with the color prints of the letters on the same page, even if I had a question of which symbol was what, the photo made sure I didn't!
The last page in the book gives general instructions on working with carts and explanation of stitches in case I forgot what Mom taught me as a small girl. I have a feeling that as the children grow and their tastes change, I will be using this book for a long while. I can see my "off to college" grandchildren wanting an elegant initial on a blouse or pillowcase for their life on campus!

Featuring lush photography, designer suggestions, step-by-step instructions, and an 11-page source list, California's Design Library's Bathrooms provides plenty of inspiration for creating the bathroom of your dreams. From old-fashioned romance to sleek modernity, many styles are represented, each one with a gorgeous light-filled photo. You may find yourself falling for something quite different than your usual style preference. Tips on customizing whirlpool tubs and lighting help insure that no matter what your ultimate choice, your final room will be unique.
Remodeling chapters include budgets ranging from $3,000 up to $30,000, and equal care is taken in all budgets to help you maximize every dollar you spend. The pros and cons of various floorings and countertop materials are covered in depth. (Who knew that a teak wood floor would be a practical choice in a wet area?) Many different sizes are also covered, but with so many luxurious shots of raised tubs with private gardens, those with smaller, more standard baths are sure to feel a bit disappointed. Every designer strongly encourages you to find your own style, and there's plenty of suggestions on salvaging moisture-proof antiques, adding bookshelves and stereo systems, and ensuring comfort and safety for children in the family. The source list focuses mainly on California suppliers, but there's lots of mail-order choices as well. With its lightweight and thick paper cover, it's perfect for taking into the tub--and what better place to read it? --Jill Lightner
Book Description
Bathrooms highlights over 25 fabulous baths: vast to petite, opulent to chic and spare. Including pointers on renovation and remodeling -- such as how to work with a contractor and stay on budget -- Bathrooms addresses everything from choosing sinks, floors, and counters to the nuts and bolts of faucets. Extra notes offer inspiration for curtains, storage, rugs, racks, and towels. We spend 3.3 years in the bathroom during our lives; this book makes it all worthwhile.
Customer Reviews:
NO IDEAS FOR SMALL BUDGETS.......2004-12-19
The photos in this book are well done, but there are not many of them. There is no how-to advice This book has alot in common with "This Old House" a show I can only watch a few minutes at a time. Both cater to the elites who would say "I was going to throw this two hundred grand in the sewer, but the Old House crew will build me a salvaged Brazilian Wormwood floor. Great!"
If you are budget conscious, you know you are in trouble with this book when the author starts off with a actor's home.
GREAT TO READ IN THE BATH!.......1999-08-03
I am the author. My book is full to the brim with luscious ideas on restyling, redesigning and reworking your bathroom. Many of the top California designers are quoted, and there are practical and inspiring ideas. Lighting, paint, children's safety, relaxing, and materials are all covered thoroughly.
