Nuts in the Kitchen: More Than 100 Recipes for Every Taste and Occasion Review
Susan Loomis's cookbooks are written for any cook who loves fresh, simple ingredients and the magic that comes from spending a little bit of time in the kitchen. But they're also portraits of food-lovers around the world, and Nuts in the Kitchen is no different. Here's her description of Makram, who has a stall in her local farmer's market. "Makram is a big, burly Tunisian, with a smile like the sun and velvet brown eyes ... He hails me like long-lost family, clasps his hands, and looks to heaven when he sees Fiona." Okay now, don't you just want to go the market and meet the guy? Of course I went straight to the chapter on desserts (Coconut, pistachio, and chocolate macaroons; Crumbly almond cake) but she fits nuts into recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She's a relentless scout (having traveled to Turkey and Thailand, for example), and she makes friends with everyone she meets. No wonder she has over 2000 friends on Facebook. I highly recommend this book -- and her others, too (my copy of The Farmhouse Cookbook is stained all the way through).

Nuts in the Kitchen: More Than 100 Recipes for Every Taste and Occasion Overview
Renowned cookbook author Susan Herrmann Loomis has traveled extensively to collect recipes that incorporate every kind of nut—from almonds to Brazil nuts, and everything in between. In these delectable recipes, you'll see nuts as much more than a tempting snack. Loomis shows how they complement, and can be the centerpiece of, every single meal of the day.
Included in this imaginative collection are more than 100 easy-to-make recipes for small plates, salads, main courses, side dishes, and desserts. Start with breakfast and serve Waffles with Walnut Whipped Cream or Apricot and Pine Nut Compote. Share an evening with friends by serving Anise- and Fennel-Spiced Walnuts or Brazil Pesto with Pasta; next, move on to a main course of Gingered Fish on Spiced Macadamia Butter; and finish with refreshing Lemon Poppy Seed Ice Cream or Coconut Sticky Rice with Peanuts. Loomis provides an invaluable collection of The Basics—including recipes for Almond Milk, Lemony Hazelnut Butter, Poppy Seed Dressing, and Macadamia and Coconut Sprinkle—for stocking every pantry and adding a new dimension to daily meals.
Along with the wonderfully diverse recipes in this book, you'll find nutritional information, menu ideas, and different kinds of food—simple, exciting, flavorful, unusual, easy, and good for you, too.
Nuts in the Kitchen is the ultimate culinary guide for using these wonderful, healthful ingredients in inventive, sophisticated, and astonishing ways. Whether you are a vegetarian, a vegan, or a meat eater, you'll find yourself turning to this book over and over as you prepare meals large or small.

another delicious book from Loomis - Bethany Bultman - Natchez, Mississippi
Several years ago my husband and I took one of Susan Loomis's cooking classes in France. We have been hooked on her cookbooks ever since. Her new book, Nuts, is the best yet. Fantastic health benefits and delicious recipes. Love the crunchy granola and the chocolate hazelnut spread for breakfast and the shrimp Birayni with cashews is hard to beat.
