The Olive Oil and Vinegar Lover's Cookbook

This is a must have book if you are exploring the world of blending your own oils and vinegars. The way that the book is set up makes it super easy to find the recipes for each type of oil. The author noted that she had to determine the optimal way to set the book up and she nailed it. I am a vegetarian and when I purchase cookbooks, many times the number of recipes that I can use as written (I can usually modify them) is minimal. I was delighted to find that I can use about 70 to 80% of the recipes in this book. I plan to purchase this book to give as a gift to others in the future.

Great recipes and I like that she has substitutes for oils or vinegars not in my pantry

Was looking for a gift for my foodie sister, and found this wonderful cookbook! Gave with various oils + vinegars for Christmas. The photos are great, and detailed. The way the book is arranged in very helpful for those of us new to using infused oils and vinegars. The recipes are outstanding!

This is a beautiful book that could honestly be on display as a coffee table book. It has some interesting information on different oils and vinegars but the bulk of the book is filled with recipes organized by olive oil varieties, white vinegar varieties, and dark vinegar varieties. I wasn't sure when purchasing this book if it included recipes for infusing different oils. It does not. Its recipes are for how to use different oil and vinegar varieties. My only real negative about the book is I can't see ever having many of the varieties it includes (blood orange olive oil & pomegranate vinegar are examples of ingredients in the book). However, it still makes for an interesting read and there's a great section on different extra virgin olive oil varieties. One thing I really liked is that the book often tells you oil/vinegar substitutions that would work well in each recipe and different flavor options based on which variety you choose. For example, a beer braised short rib with dark balsamic recipe could use stout & dark chocolate balsamic, burgundy wine & cherry dark balsamic, porter & fig balsamic, etc. It increases the versatility of the recipes. I gave this book as a gift along with a good EVOO, balsamic vinegar, and an olive oil fusti. Makes a wonderful, unique gift for a foodie!

This is a wonderful book. A little bigger than I expected, but such a great resource for using EVOO and flavored vinegars. Can't say enough good things about the book and its recipes. Written by an EVOO lover for EVOO lovers.

Visited and tasted olive oils and balsamics at a wonderful store in Stanton Virginia. This book was on display but not available for purchase. Immediately went to Amazon and purchased copies for my daughter and myself. Excellent reference and history of the oils and balsamics; even recipes are included.

I love the infused olive oil and vinegar concept, but after tasting and purchasing them I would forget what to do with them. This book is wonderful for using them. I also have tried new flavors because of this book.Love it

It's a very nice book and I like the way it's organized. A couple things I didn't like: the very tiny type used for the fractions in the ingredient list; WHY, when there is so much blank white space on the page? Also, the light green and light orange ink colors are so pale it makes reading difficult and less enjoyable. But the book is quite large and worth the money.

With the popularity of Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar stores popping up the last few years I`ve enjoyed purchasing unique oils and vinegars but sometimes I`d buy them based on how great they smelled and tasted and then have them sit on my kitchen counter unused because I wasn`t really sure how to utilize them. I learned of this book and put it on my Christmas wish list and hubby made it appear under the tree. I LOVE IT! It`s really awesome. The book itself is beautiful, hard bound with gorgeous photos and it tells how to use a lot of the different oils and vinegars and also includes a lot of recipes in which to use them in. Every time I pick it up, I find something else I want to try. I highly recommend `The Olive Oil and Vinegar Lover`s Cookbook`.

If you use olive oil or want to know what to do with different olive oils and balsamic vinegars, this is the book for you ! I gave my first one away while visiting so I had to replace it immediately. You will love it.... recipes are delicious, outstanding !
