Cookbook Reviews

Kürbis, Kraut & Co.

By
Zabert Sandman - 2008

I bought the books in this series because the recipes looked attractive and innovative, the dishes are beautifully presented and they just looked like a good deal (5 Euro a piece, 128 pages, ca. 70 recipes) - and they won the World Cookbook Award for best series, right?

Turns out the dishes look good, but taste bland and just don't work well, and are usually a lot of work. And there are at least ten series a year that win the World Cookbook Award for best series. Seriously.

I wasn't very enthousiast about the other books in this series (search for the tag "Zabert Sandmann series"). So far this book seems to be the best one, if you can judge from only two recipes. Let's hope it's different.
