	Nice but uninspiring  Apr 2, 2007
I absolutely adore limes, so I had to have this book to add to my collection. There are very few lime-themed cookbooks around. Pros 1. This book is written by folks who own a lime orchard, so they know their stuff. There is some general information about limes & ways to use them at the start of the book. This kind of themed book is very useful when you have a bunch of limes and can't think what to do with them all. 2. Recipes are straightforward & easy. A few recipes use pre-packaged ingredients but most are from scratch. There are roughly 100 recipes in a 200 page book. I found the recipes I tested to be quite nice but nothing out of the ordinary. 3. Most recipes have a nice little introduction at the start, explaining where the recipe came from, and a short list of menu suggestions at the end. 4. The author includes a bonus chapter of favorite recipes from friends and family at the end of the book, which have nothing to do with limes. 5. Recipes are varied and include drinks, appetizers, sauces, salsas, marinades, mains and desserts/baking. It is a nice selection. Cons 1. There are no photos or illustrations of the recipes. 2. Overall I would have to say that I didn't find the book particularly inspiring. I was hoping for at least a couple of recipes that would be "keepers" but haven't found any so far. If you are looking for a good variety of recipes that use limes, this book would be a good choice for you. If you are more of a foodie, a gourmet or a cooking perfectionist, this book is probably not a great choice for you. If you like cookbooks dealing with limes and lemons, you might also enjoy: Luscious Lemon Desserts by Lori Longbotham - highly recommended. This is an excellent cookbook, all the recipes I have tried are both delicious and reliable. Lots of "keepers" here! Joyce LaFray has written quite a few cookbooks about Key Limes eg Key Lime Desserts (Famous Florida) and The Key Lime Cookbook.. They are nice little cookbooks. The Totally Lemons Cookbook (Totally Cookbooks)by Helene Siegel is a cute mini cookbook in the shape of a lemon. It makes a great but inexpensive gift. It has some good recipes for things like Shaker Lemon Pie.
	Fans of limes will relish the dishes herein  Feb 16, 2001
The lime enhances other flavors but has rarely received its own acclaim outside of lemons; this presents over a hundred recipes using limes along with family favorites and essays on leftovers. Fans of limes who find their dishes too rare will relish the dishes herein and the international flavors explored.

	Wonderful book written by an even more wonderful woman!  Dec 7, 2000
I guarantee you won't be disapointed with a single recipe! I was absolutely thrilled to learn about Linda's cookbook offered on this site.com. I have not seen this wonderful lady and dear friend for 16 years. I have first hand experience at her own table, of her expertise with food. Hers is a gift! I recommend this book highly and hope she writes more. This isn't just another cookbook...it's a cookbook with heart...Linda can't come into a persons life or work a project without leaving a life long heart print.......LINDA I MISS YOU AND WISH YOU EVERY BLESSING LIFE HAS TO GIVE......Judi Friel
