Tyler Florence's Real Kitchen

Customer Reviews

It is about time!

Okay, so I have a huge crush on Tyler like any other woman who has seen him on Food 911. That said, this is still the best cookbook I have bought in a long time. Although most of the recipes involve simple ingredients and are accessible even to those with only a basic culinary skills, the result is full-flavored and elegant food. While I love to cook, I have resisted investing in cookbooks. I found it wasteful to only make a few special recipes from a book. With Tyler's book, you get a glipmse of cuisine from a wide variety of cultures. At the same time, most recipes don't require exotic ingredients that may be hard to come by. This book is true to Tyler's show. His goal is to get people who love cooking to try anything and be successful at it. Like it says in title this is truly "an indispenable book for anybody who likes to cook". Thanks Tyler, I have been waiting for this one.

Excellent cookbook!

If you're a fan of Tyler Florence and his show "Food 911", I think you'll really enjoy this excellent cookbook. Florence specializes in adding new twists to standard recipes to make them uniquely his own. Most of these recipes are fairly easy to put together and don't require a lot of exotic ingredients that many of us don't have in our homes or can't find in our local grocery stores. Most of the recipes I've tried from this book have been fairly easy to prepare and quite tasty.Florence seems to really enjoy what he does and his enthusiasm really rubs off. This is a fun, entertaining cookbook. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for real gourmets but for the rest of us, it'll do just fine. Highly recommended.

Great Guy, Great Cook

I had the pleaure of meeting Tyler in Miami when he was filming his Ultimate Paella episode with the Three Guys from Miami. (Three guys from Miami Cook Cuban -- ISBN: 158685433X) His recipes are inventive, easy to prepare, and oh so delicious. Unlike so many cookbooks, this one is well written and interesting to read. I highly recommend this book!
