Cooking from Scratch

The book is in very good condition and arrived quickly in packaging that kept the pages from getting damaged.

These recipes are from scratch. Good recipes.Im enjoying the use of this cookbook.Delivered on time in great shspe.

Good stuff here--

Love the recipes and seasonal approach.

Every recipe is wonderful. Well instructed and the ingredients are accessible. I love reading that some of the dishes are most popular in PCC.

I bought this cookbook after it was the cook book for my book group - we are a cook book group from our local library. I was not familiar with PCC Community Markets as I live on the east coast. My favorite recipe is Garlicky Green Beans and Shrimp. It's quick, easy, tasty and you can substitute other vegetables for the green beans. I just made the recipe with pea pods and fresh spinach.My only complaint is the book doesn't lie flat when you are trying to cook a recipe. This has become a pet peeve of me after being in a book group that reviews a new book each month. It's standard in may cook books.If you like recipes with fresh, seasonal ingredients (no canned soups here), mostly easy to prepare and tasty I suggest you try this cookbook.

Grew up in Seattle - was regular at the original PCC on NE 65th. This is a treasure trove of my favorite deli recpies. Excellent veggie/vegan options.

Got this book from the library and bought it as I wanted my own!

Very good condition

So I've had this cookbook for about a year, and I've made about 17 recipes so far. I would grade almost all the recipes as being good to very good. There isn't really a theme to the cookbook, except that of celebrating fresh flavors and produce. It contains some recipes in every category--for vegans, vegetarians, meat eaters, gluten-free--but it doesn't really focus on any one category, or any one cuisine. I would characterize the recipes as offering a fresh twist to favorite classics. For example, last night I made a lentil dish from the book (Curried Lentil and Mango Wraps) that has the bright idea of combining standard cooked lentils with fresh diced mango, fresh cucumber, red onion, and curry spices. Voila! It's an interesting, fresh, and tasty twist on lentils. Similarly, there's a pasta salad recipe that combines fresh cherries, chorizo slices, pine nuts, and orzo pasta. Different--and good. What keeps me coming back to this book are these slightly unexpected, intriguing combinations of flavors. An added bonus is that the recipes are all very "doable." Aside from necessary chopping/preparing of fruits and vegetables, there's nothing difficult here, no strange techniques, no odd cooking tools or pans required. It's a user-friendly cookbook, and also gorgeously produced. The enticing, colorful photos definitely make you want to try these dishes!

I absolutely love this cookbook from my favorite market. I’ve made many of the recipes and they are all simple, healthy, and delicious.

Many wholesome recipes for all parts of the meal or party fair. Great stews, salads and more. Recipes are well organized and easy to follow.

"Cooking From Scratch" was recommended to me by my cousin who resides in Seattle and frequents PCC. I've already made half a dozen recipes and have bookmarked another dozen to try. This is well written and easy to follow. Occasionally there are ingredients not found in every pantry or not readily available in the desert known as Las Vegas. I've managed to make substitutions. It would be prudent of the authors to offer substitutions for readers who don't live in the Northwest.

Sasquatch Books does it right when it comes to cookbooks, and Cooking from Scratch is no exception. The photography is beautiful, the 120 recipes organized by meal are healthy and scrumptious, compiled by one of Seattle’s most fave grocers, PCC Community Markets. There are even hints for shopping, storing and cooking. A delicious treasure. 5 of 5 Tasty Stars!Grateful to the author, Sasquatch Books and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are fully mine.

Great recipes!

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I love to cook and this cook was something I wanted to read to add new tricks to my skill set. There are 120 recipes and they are broken up into several sections. Some of the sections are Drinks, Breakfast, and Side dishes. The recipes are very easy to follow and there are step by step instructions. I enjoyed using it and discovering some dishes that I did not know about.

Wonderful recipes'. Excellent for the cook that likes to prepare dishes from scratch. Lots of fresh ingredients, new ideas on how to prepare unusual ingredients. Helpful side bars that provides background education.

We've always been happy with PCC recipes and got this book, mostly because we felt we should contribute since we took their recipes off the website a lot! But there are many hidden gems, tips and helpful techniques. A gem of a cooking book. I recommend the turkey chili as that has become a staple around my house. Great book and recipes!

I've been cooking from these recipes since before the book, and eating the prepared ones from the store. So many winners! The print version is just gorgeous - I just got it a couple weeks ago. I just want to flip through just to look at the pictures. I'm so excited to try the seasonal eating and easy weeknight meals.What to try first? Look for "deli favorites" like beet walnut or hearty greens Caesar.The only thing I don't like about PCC recipes in general is too many ingredients. It would be great if they helped out beginners with tips about how to make it simpler. But once you learn how to substitute or reasonable corners to cut, it's not bad. Yes - this recipe will still work with one kind of onion instead of two. Yes walnut oil is more delicious but olive will be just fine. That kind of thing.

I am a total fan of PCC and trust their food knowledge and culture. The book has some of my favorites from their deli and many more I want to try.

We've made 4 recipes so far and they were all really good and easy. The best thing is that my 8-year old got inspired to cook some recipes and he ate the food too! I also really like that all the ingredients can be found at PCC.

This cookbook is fantastic. Whether you have been to PCC or not, it has plenty of delicious recipes in store for you. I have made the Finnish Buttermilk Cake 3 times, and I plan on making it again this weekend. You have not lived until you have eaten Steph’s Tofu. And many many more. Beautiful color photographs, a great layout, and delicious recipes - what more could you really want?

This book has lots of beautiful pictures and recipes, some of which I already use in my home.There's great tips sprinkled throughout the book. A great starter book or addition to a collection.There's a few times ingredients are called for that I consider "splurge" ingredients, but google is your friend, almost anything can be substituted or in some cases eliminated completely.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley and Sasquatch Books for an honest review.Cooking From Scratch is a wonderful and very delightful Cookbook filled to the brim with so many great, and Healthy recipes using fresh food ingredients.

This is a wonderful book, the recipes are really different with some unusual pairings to make up a dish. This book is advocates purely organic, non gmo and seasonal foods, it leaves the choice and alternatives to the cook, and gives suggestions for allergy free substitutes.The book grew from the Puget Consumer Co-op (PCC) markets and is beautifully presented, with chatty introductions to each recipes as well as drink suggestions. The recipes are easy to make, tasty and ingredients easily source - all organic, non gmo and seasonal - as it should be if one wants to eat well.I really recommend this book to anyone that loves and appreciates food.
