(More customer reviews)Wow! "Dollars to Donuts" was recommended to me by a friend that I don't necessarily associate with cooking. So, I entered into my relationship with Dawn Welch somewhat sceptically. But, now, we are together for life. I even bought a copy for a friend and mailed it off to her today. This is a practical cookbook (not the kind that sit on the shelf merely to impress your friends)...which may turn out for many to be a cookbook-bible. Dollars to Donuts is chock full of recipes you just HAVE to duplicate. The instructions are simple and the pictures hit a home run. There's something for everyone, with many falling under the category of comfort foods, but many more delicious and healthy choices than you may normally come across. Some of my many favorites include Peanut Soup with Sweet Potatoes, Balsamic Pork Chops, Coriander Rubbed Salmon, Couscous with Butternut Squash, Salmon cakes and Pasta with Tuna. It's fun to try a few that seem totally different from what you may normally cook and then go back to what is more comfortable for you. I cannot recommend this cookbook enough! Go out and buy a copy for yourself and a friend as well. And do it now! Bob G
