When I arrived home after a lengthy vacation, I discovered that I had won an (uncorrected proof) advanced reader’s copy of Siri Daly’s Siriously Delicious cookbook. What a pleasant surprise it was as I read through the pages!
Written with the warmth that obviously emanates from the author, the book is delightful. Having lived in Minnesota, I can identify with her remarks about the place. Still a mother, and now a grandmother, I can identify with her warm feelings about cooking with kids and cooking for them.
There is literally something for everyone within the pages. The recipes are tantalizing and they seem so easy to make and so eye-appealing in their presentation, that I wanted to prepare one immediately. Several caught my eye and teased my appetite. I especially like the chocolate chip-peanut butter-banana cookies, the crisped garbanzo beans, the recipes with Brussels sprouts and chick peas, and the Asian beef lettuce wraps. From the salads to the cookies and the cocktails before or after, this book will make a welcome addition to any kitchen.
