The Duke's Mayonnaise Cookbook, Reviewed

When I’m standing before a packed bookshelf chock-full of the latest new release cookbooks, wondering which one to buy, I’ll tell you my secret for selecting one that is certain to satisfy; look for the cookbook in which a product is involved.

Companies want to sell their products, and when they trouble themselves to select a fine author like Ashley Strickland Freeman to write that book and promote their product, you can be assured that they are going to give you delicious, easy-to-prepare, family friendly recipes. Their goal is to sell their wares, and a bad recipe isn’t going to do it.

A prime example of that is The Duke's Mayonnaise Cookbook. There are so many wonderful recipes in this book that you won’t know where to begin. It has a colorful, retro-look, and immediately draws you in, as you’re flipping pages with reckless abandon, and book-marking more recipes than you could ever imagine.

The recipes are preceded by a brief (but not overbearing) few words by the author, are, in nearly all cases, accompanied by a mouthwatering color photo, are written in a simple, easy-to-understand style, and call for ingredients that you are either likely to have on hand, or are generally easy to come by. 

Lest you think this cookbook contains recipes you’ve seen and prepared before, it also includes more exotic offerings such as farro salad, Israeli couscous, and lamb kabobs.

 Full of delicious comfort foods to take you from breakfast all of the way through dinner, and dessert, this book will send you straight into the kitchen, foraging for ingredients, and getting out equipment, so you can immediately dig in.
