Cookbook Spotlight: Kitchen Sense
I was so excited to be asked to participate in the Cookbook Spotlight for the new book Kitchen Sense by Mitchell Davis which is being co-hosted by Cath at a Blithe Palate and Sara at i like to cook. This is quite an extensive cookbook and I could write about many of the recipes but I will focus on my first dish, a Berry Crisp. The original recipe is called Apple Cranberry Crisp but I had a hoard of berries and other fruit from a trip to the Farmer’s Market so I decided to use those up instead.
The recipe is totally fail-proof and absolutely delicious. I served this on Father’s Day with some good vanilla ice cream. It reheats beautifully, keeping it’s topping crisp and can be made ahead of time and reheated.
In regards to the cookbook itself, it really has just about every recipe you could think of. From the basic to the exotic and unique, it’s all in there. I really liked how there are suggestions for advance prep, variations, and what to do with leftovers. My only dislike is that there are no pictures! But that will just entice you to actually MAKE the dishes! Overall, a very nice cookbook that I would recommend to everyone.

the 2 dislikes i have are
1. no pictures - most of the items should have a picture or something
2. the recipes run together, they should be on their own page or half of a page at least.

Hey Jennifer,
can I get that recipe? I thought you posted it at one point, but now it’s gone! I would love to try to make it. And, what apples do you generally use for cooking?
Thanks,
Martha
