Wow! The Costco cookbooks just keep getting better! This is the fifth, with
beautiful food photography, serving tips and more wonderful recipes
using products available at your local Costco.
And what a star-studded celebrity chef and writer lineup in the “Chef’s Choice”
chapter this year, too! Ten foodie glitterati, including Food Network’s Ina Garten
and Mario Batali, as well as Deborah Madison, G. Garvin and yours truly, contributed
delicious recipes from their personal recipe files. They all do wonderful things
with Costco’s products.
There are also great dishes created by in-house chefs for many of the brands
featured. These chefs are intimately familiar with their companies’ products, and
their expertise shines through in their recipes.
You’ll also find some recipes markedy by a special “Organic” symbol. This
symbol means that the product has met certain standards in the growing and
manufacturing processes—which is important to many people today. You’ll
find an increasing number of organic products at Costco.
I know that when I shop at Costco I am always looking for new and exciting
things to try—foods that will inspire new culinary adventures. You can be sure
that several fresh and delicious items will be found on your tasty treasure hunt.
Whether it's some sexy imported cheeses, jumbo king crab legs plump with
meat, or a box of ripe juicy mangos, there is always something at Costco to
motivate your next dinner party.
More than 1. 75 million copies of this new book are being given out this year. I hope
one finds its way to your kitchen counter, where it becomes a well-used staple
with dog-eared pages and lots of smudges and foodie fingerprints. Here’s to
another delicious year!
P.S. If you have a friend who missed getting a copy of Cooking in Style The Costco
Way, he or she can go to the Costco Web site to view the cookbook online.
