Antoni: Let's Do Dinner by Antoni Porowski is a wonderful example of the perfect cookbook. The pictures are amazing, vibrant, and inviting. The chapter titles are fun and different from other cookbooks. While some of the recipes may be too involved for beginner cooks, practicing these resipes are sure to make the ones you feed feel special. I have already tried the Roasted Cabbage Steaks with Apple-Dijon Vinaigrette – deliciously sweet and savory. I cannot wait to cook through this book.

Fresh, healthy, and colorful are the words that immediately come to mind after reading through this cookbook. Every page is packed full of fresh, flavorful ingredients that all mixed together would make beautiful and healthy dishes. The majority of the recipes do have quite a few ingredients, but that being said, most are things I typically have on hand at all times, herbs and spices especially. The beginning of the book provides several informative lists of the basics that are always good to have on hand in your pantry, freezer, and countertop. The pictures are beautiful and make each dish look so visually pleasing and delicious! I am most excited to try the stuffed poblanos and Antoni’s healthy take on carbonara. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced electronic copy of this beautiful book in exchange for my review. Super excited for its release and can’t wait to add a hard copy to my kitchen.

This is an absolutely beautiful cookbook. The vibrant pictures that accompany each recipe is exactly how every cookbook should be written. As for the recipes, they just didn't click with me and didn't seem like recipes I would make for my family.

Some relatively doable recipes, many with a fun creative flair. Antoni definitely loves potatoes, which is a commendable trait in my book.

This book was received as an ARC from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

All of the recipes in this book sound so delicious and I absolutely love the fact he included photos for almost every recipe featured. I can definitely see this being a potential candidate for a future cooking demo. I also loved the smiles on Antoni and his wife and how they looked like they were having the time of their lives with all of those delicious dishes they are blessed with. If they are having fun and enjoying themselves then I know our patrons will enjoy themselves too. I especially can’t wait to try the spinach salad with mushrooms, crispy chicken and fried eggs, cheesy polenta with eggs and the masala spinach omelette.

We will consider adding this title to our TX Non-Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
