Quick,Tasty Entertaining Nov 01, 2010
By Rita Received the book this morning and have already prepared a soup and sandwich combo. Modified the "Good Luck Greens and Beans" into a soup by adding chicken stock and a little Parmesan. Could not resist the "Croque Monsieur". Both were easy and very tasty just like the previous book's offerings.The I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook: 150 Delicious Recipes Using Only Foods from the World's Greatest Grocery Store Reading the recipes is like being in class...you can just hear her talking. Funny, informative and helpful regarding TJ's products; things in the pantry and, more importantly, what to hoard. I recommend this for newbies and established cooks. We can all use a fresh suggestion or shake up the rut we sometimes get into. This will make perfect Christmas/Holiday gifts for all. The photography is beautiful but I'm sure there will be some who think there is not enough of it. My original book is dog-eared; to me a sign of being well loved. It won't take long for this one to become the same! Now, where's my Guinness for those cupcakes.....?

Partying With Trader Joe's Nov 29, 2010
By Jazz88 Cherie Twohy has done it again with her second book, "The I Love Trader Joe's Party Cookbook"!!!!! Now that my copy of her first TJ's masterpiece is dog-eared and stained, I am thrilled to start creating this mouth-watering collection of new recipes! Cowgirl Caviar, the fresh-taste-explosion concoction (consisting of black beans, black-eyed peas, cherry tomatoes, cilantro and other swoon-worthy ingredients) on p. 14 is a recipe to commit to memory, right away. Ditto the Penne de Pistache, Blood Orange & Almond Salad, the Wasabi Deviled Eggs, and the Simple, Slurpable Pumpkin Soup. As if this is not enough to make you run to the Borders near you (or Amazon.com), the inclusion of the perfect signature cocktail for every occasion makes this book an essential for every party host - Pomegranaritas......Tangerinis......Italian Lemon Drop.....Mom-Osa's for Mother's day -- you get my drift. I also love the "Grab & Go" Section after each party menu, featuring Trader Joe's items that don't need preparation -- does it get any easier? I credit Cherie Twohy's first 2 books with getting me back in my kitchen again -- the recipes are simple to prepare, yet always illicit "ooh's" and "aah's". The first "I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook" took care of my entire Xmas list last year -- and this year's volume will do the same!

Party EVERY day! Nov 15, 2010
By xyzheather I had pre-ordered the "party edition" after my love for the original I Love Trader Joe's cookbook and I was excited that it arrived before the peak of the party season. Much to my delight, the "party edition" will not just help me in the next few months, but for the entire YEAR!! I am hoping to be able to WAIT until each month rolls around to make the holiday selections, but probably not!! I am truly inspired by these recipe selections. THANKS!!

love the recipes Feb 20, 2012
By Ashley i bought this cookbook as a gift to my cousin who loves to shop at Trader Joe's. It has great recipes as well as awesome images to know what you're about to cook! Even though it is a party cookbook, there were a lot of recipes that can be used to make lunch for work and school as well! Thanks to amazon prime I was able to get it within 2 days and it was packaged nicely and was exactly what I expected. Thanks!
