Reviewed for GoodReads First Reads program (  ) njmom3 | Apr 22, 2015 | WHAT I LOVED was their attitude that food was nurturing. That a good meal not only filled the belly but created an environment in which the soul could be nurtured. I absolutely believe this, although I also suffer, like many, from the weariness of having to cook day-in and day-out. So I found the book a positive reinforcement and to be inspirational. And I will keep it for that reason. I also liked their wordsmithing. These are smart, educated women and before getting this book you should know that their essays aren't light and breezy fair. These are solid, substantial pieces they put before the reader. And what are the pieces about? Well, this is where the Tell-All aspect comes in. They tell you about their lives, the good and embarrassing parts, and then they give you a recipe or recipes at the end. As a people watcher I found this interesting enough, although to be honest I didn't like any of the 3. They personally aren't the kind of folks I'd want to hang around. They aren't bad people or anything, but if I met them in person I'd probably write them off as too intense. BUT ALL-IN-ALL I found THREE MANY COOKS to be an entertaining book. I don't like the authors but I can't say enough good about their abilities to communicate and their proper sense of meals as events that can go beyond the lowly things that only add pounds to our hips. --review copy (  ) PamFamilyLibrary | Feb 24, 2015 | A mother and her two daughters write of their lives and how they have been influenced by food and cooking. There relationships are not always smooth, especially those of the two sisters. Having a sister I love dearly but can and have butted heads with, I can relate to that, although even at our most childish, I don't think we ever drew blood, unlike the authors! There are recipes interspersed, and some of these sound good but I didn't get this book for the recipes and have not tried them. What I absolutely hated was the description of cooking lobsters: “Mom tried freezing the creatures before boiling them to disorient their little brains and relax their muscles. She tried stabbing them in the head to make the kill quick and merciful before cooking. She even tried putting them in the pot and slowly raising the heat, but the scratching inside was pretty unbearable. To prevent their tails from curling up during cooking, my dear mother rammed a stabilizing chopstick up their ass, all along the tail and into the body.” I will never understand how someone can treat an animal that is going to be eaten in a way that would have them arrested for animal abuse if they did it to a non-food animal. Especially women who are supposed to be of faith, and therefore, one would think , compassionate. Not if you are a lobster! While this is “their shared stories of food, faith & family,” the faith part didn't proselytize, which I appreciated. Their view of male/female roles in the family was a little too traditional for me, but that's okay too. What I didn't like about the book, aside from the lobster-cooking, was that on occasion, a little too much hubris showed through, and that sometimes the book just plain bored me. I was given an advance reader's copy of this book for review. The quote may have changed in the published edition. ( ) TooBusyReading | Feb 5, 2015 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"When the women behind the popular blog Three Many Cooks gather in the busiest room in the house, there are never too many cooks in the kitchen. Now acclaimed cookbook author Pam Anderson and her daughters, Maggy Keet and Sharon Damelio, blend compelling reflections and well-loved recipes into one funny, candid, and irresistible book. Together, Pam, Maggy, and Sharon reveal the challenging give-and-take between mothers and daughters, the passionate belief that food nourishes both body and soul, and the simple wonder that arises from good meals shared. Pam chronicles her epicurean journey, beginning at the apron hems of her grandmother and mother, and recounts how a cultural exchange to Provence led to twenty-five years of food and friendship. Firstborn Maggy rebelled against the family's culinary ways but eventually found her inner chef as a newlywed faced with the terrifying reality of cooking dinner every night. Younger daughter Sharon fell in love with food by helping her mother work, lending her searing opinions and elbow grease to the grueling process of testing recipes for Pam's bestselling cookbooks. Three Many Cooks ladles out the highs and lows, the kitchen disasters and culinary triumphs, the bitter fights and lasting love. Of course, these stories would not be complete without a selection of treasured recipes that nurtured relationships, ended feuds, and expanded repertoires, recipes that evoke forgiveness, memory, passion, and perseverance: Pumpkin-Walnut Scones, baked by dueling sisters; Grilled Lemon Chicken, made legendary by Pam's father at every backyard cookout; Chicken Vindaloo that Maggy whipped up in a boat galley in the Caribbean; Carrot Cake obsessively perfected by Sharon for the wedding of friends; and many more. Sometimes irreverent, sometimes reflective, always honest, this collection illustrates three women's individual and shared search for a faith that confirms what they know to be true: The divine is often found hovering not over an altar but around the stove and kitchen table. So hop on a bar stool at the kitchen island and join them to commiserate, laugh, and, of course, eat!"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Book from a mother and her two daughters. Their experiences with cooking from the very start-when they were young. Special recipes and how they came about, love the research part of the method-similar to how I develop my own special recipes.
Carrot cake would be my favorite. Loved the paying it forward chapters. Also found out by their trials and errors what I do wrong in some of my recipes.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). (
