Summary: Pressed-Cheese Sandwiches, anyone?
Comment: I recently got to meet Bob at a book signing and had a chance to taste two recipes- the Shrimp on the Bar-B (grilled shrimp in a chipotle dry rub arranged around a Barbie doll) and grilled asparagus. Truly AWESOME food. I've had the chance to make some of the recipes in the book already and can't wait for the next opportunity to try one. Maybe some time this weekend I'll try cooking the lemongrass shrimp on the car engine. There aren't a lot of recipes in the book, but Bob tends to emphasize quality over quantity; all of the recipes are incredibly easy and unlike a lot of cookbooks out there that offer easy cooking but leave you wishing you had made reservations instead, the results are invariably as good or better than your local expensive restaurant.
By the way, in case you're wondering what a pressed-cheese sandwich is, it's just like a classic grilled cheese except that you cook it with your iron. If you want that know how and all kinds of other great information (like taking the luck out of a potluck party), Off the Eaten Path is waiting for you.

Summary: Play With Your Food
Comment: In "Off The Eaten Path" cookbook author, and closet comedian, Bob Blumer gives you permission to play with your food. Honest! Through very achievable recipes, several unusual techniques, and some of the most comical photos you'll ever set your eyes on, he demonstrates that cooking doesn't have to be a chore. All this without using bizarre ingredients or equipment, Ok, a dishwasher might be construed as bizarre. Hey! People once thought deep-frying a turkey was weird and now look.
I'm still working up the nerve to try "Dishwasher Salmon with Piquant Dill Sauce" but I can swear by "Brown-Bagged Lemon-Tarragon Chicken with Capers". His paper bag technique may just replace the need for expensive parchment paper. I don't like creamed vegetables but "(I Can't Believe It's Not) Creamed Corn" from "Slammin' Salmon Extravaganza" is a keeper especially now that corn is in season. It is pure creamy sweet goodness.
There may be a lifted recipe or two in the "Extreme Cuisine" chapter but that's one chapter and there's so much more to this book.

Summary: The path to easy, fun and yummy
Comment: I own all of Bob's books. In addition to offering simple delicious food they are just plain fun to read. You'll get much more than recipes. There are ideas for super easy, very elegant presentations and menus. This is the book to turn to when you're planning a dinner party and you want to have as much fun as your guests.Catch Bob's new show on the Food Network, too. (The candied salmon is to die for by the way)
