Book Description
Soup is delicious, nourishing, and endlessly versatile. Around the world and throughout the seasons, soup is a favorite pleasure. Who doesn't love a fragrant, steaming bowl of soup when cold winds howl outside? And a chilled bowl of soup can be a light and soothing meal in the hottest months of summer.
Now Lydie Marshall, a beloved cooking teacher in France and America, serves up something for everyone: 140 mouthwatering recipes for soups and accompanying salads, breads, and desserts to make a meal. Lydie offers a wide range of her favorite soup recipes, from classics like New England Clam Chowder and Onion Soup to new favorites like Red Lentil Soup with Curry or Fava Bean Soup with Mint and Feta Cheese. Make a meal of Lydie's Tuscan Ribollita (the twice-cooked Tuscan bean soup), Chicory Salad with Bacon, Croutons, Poached Eggs, and a loaf of Poilane bread, finished with Vanilla Cream with Prunes Soaked in Brandy. All the recipes are here in Soup of the Day -- clear, accessible, delicious.
Soup of the Day is a fine collection of inviting, simple, delicious recipes, written in the reassuring style of a longtime cooking teacher who knows what home cooks want. With a foreword by Calvin Trillin, soup lover and Lydie Marshall fan, Soup of the Day is a welcome kitchen companion.
Customer Reviews:
All kinds of soup. Salads, breads and desserts.......2006-09-17
I was looking forward to browsing this book but was disappointed. None of the recipes appealed to me enough to want to try one immediately. I'm sure some of them are tasty enough but the format of the book was dull. Perhaps a real soup lover will like this cookbook but I can't recommend it.
Soups for Every Cook and Every Season.......2003-04-02
Soup of the Day is a fabulous cookbook. Its delicious, numerous recipes offer an appealing variety. Its clear directions are easy to follow and most soups may be prepared with minimum preparation.
I've already used it as a gift to eight friends, both men and women with varying degrees of culinary skill -- all are delighted. Most enjoy selecting recipes for "recreational" cooking on the weekend.
People who enjoy background stories will appreciate Lydie Marshall's delightful commentary.
I love soup!.......2003-01-21
Lydie Marshall is an incredible chef, but more than that she is an extremely generous person. I adore reading her books and creating the delicious dishes.
A LA SOUPE!.......2002-12-29
Get out your pots and pans! Lydie Marshall has written another superb cookbook. Even if you think you don't like soup, you'll enjoy reading Madame Marshall's charming, often amusing, stories about her childhood in France, her family, neighbors and friends that accompany each recipe. (There's even a soup from her French cats' veterinarian's wife!) The recipes are easy to follow, the steps simple and clear and the results uncommonly delicious. The soups are divided into five sections: broths; vegetable soups; bean, pea and lentil soups; seafood; and meat and poultry soups. The recipes range from standard classics like Mediterranean fish soup with garlic mayonnaise; borscht, gazpacho and pistou to a sublime porcini consomme, Mexican chicken soup with tortilla chips and youska, a Russian potato and lox soup. There are 53 vegetable soups, categorized by season. She has even included an excellent as well as surprisingly efficacious "day after" soup for when you've overindulged the day before or feel a cold coming on. Also included are selections of salad, bread, and dessert recipes that go well with soup. I especially liked the chicory salad with bacon, croutons and poached eggs and the salad greens with fried potato and onions. Calvin Trillin has written a delightful laudatory ode of an introduction. The book's covers are laminated and it has a knock-out gorgeous dustjacket that looks so delicious and happy and warm, you almost want to eat it! This is one case where the cover truly does reflect the book. A must for anyone interested in healthy gourmet cooking and good eating!

Nostalgia city!.......2000-09-18
What a great time I had with this book! Every page, and every photo, brought back memories of these cars. It's a really nicely produced volume (I already bought a copy for a friend who's rich enough to collect real cars!) and if you leave it out on a coffee table, say, everybody reaches for it and, as they leaf through it, they invariably start to smile. Now I'm just sorry I gave away (or maybe my parents did) all my own toys from the 60s!
Fascinating and Fun... A Must For Any Kid From the '60s.......2000-09-05
I was given this book by a friend and didn't know what to expect... but all sorts of happy memories fooded back as I flipped through the pages. Ragan clearly loves his subject, but he's a added a quirky tone that makes this fun not just for collectors but also for people like me who just remember playing with some of these toys. It's also worth noting that the photographs are fantastic.
It'll Christmas gift list for sure.

Don't bother with this one.......2002-07-24
Obviously this book is considered for beginners, but if you really are a beginner, it will just lead you in the wrong directions. And if you're experienced, then you'll be shaking your head at some of the stuff written. While there are some nice pictures, even that is organized badly because you have to flip about 10 pages over to see the picture of the plant being discussed. The plant profiles section is very short and almost useless, especially the "Similar plants" category, which is very inaccurate. And there's not one mention of Aponogetons, or some other very common aquarium plants. Save your money for something better. I bought this and returned it for a full refung 3 days later. If you're looking for a quality, cheap beginners book, get Scheurmann's Aquarium Plants Manual instead.

Full of Knowledge.......2007-07-21
Full of Knowledge/How to's: From choosing, to installing, dressing & restoring (stripping, repairing, ageing). Even has a glossary. It is more knowledge-based than aesthetically pleasing. Something seems to be missing & I think that's what it is, the aesthetics.
