Product Description
What could be better than standing on top of a mountain, snow sparkling, the slopes calling? Not much, except perhaps skiing down to a warm, home-cooked meal that comes together effortlessly.
The Ski House Cookbook makes it all possible with 125 recipes that will keep you on the slopes or winding down with friends afterward, not stuck at the stove. Here are easy and delicious meals designed with minimum prep times for often limited home-away-from-home kitchens, from quick-cooking roasts, sautés, and other fast meals to slow-cooker dishes and recipes that can be made in advance and frozen. And, to get you in the right frame of mind, each recipe is coded with a difficulty rating that corresponds to the familiar green dots, blue squares, and black diamonds of the slopes.
Start the day with ’Twas the Night Before French Toast (assembled in advance and baked in the morning) to keep you going until lunchtime, when a Colorado Cubano (made in a flash from readily available deli meats) will refuel you for the afternoon. An entire chapter of après-ski snacks, including Green Mountain Fondue and Spicy Roasted Chickpeas, helps tide you over until dinner, which includes tempting options such as Roasted Pork Loin with Cherry Balsamic Pan Sauce, Mogul Beef Chili, and Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. Hearty soups and pastas and indulgent desserts round out this collection of recipes that will warm you up from the inside out.
In addition to the irresistible recipes, The Ski House Cookbook offers practical information on cooking at high altitudes, a section on getting the most out of your slow cooker, and 50 beautiful full-color photographs of the great dishes and snowy landscapes that skiers love. So whether you’re hitting the slopes or just dreaming of days in the lodge, a double diamond pro or struggling down the bunny hill for the first time, here is your go-to guide to making easy, satisfying, and comforting winter meals.

GREAT WINTER RECIPES

Comment:
I found this cookbook to have recipes that are easy to read with ingredients that are available in the supermarkets. There is a variety of dishes to fill the entire day. However, the Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake recipe has me a bit perplexed. The ingredience list for the Cake begins with "Unsalted Butter" and does not state if that is to butter the pan or if a certain amount is to be included in the batter. The amount is not stated. Other than that, the cookbook makes you want to gather up your skis and head for the slopes. They have even rated each recipe with ski trail ratings as to difficulty. This is a great book to add to your collection.

The best cookbook EVER!

Comment:
I have a whole bookcase full of cookbooks, in case someday I suddenly turn into a cook. The ONLY cookbook I use on a regular basis is this one. This book enables someone with very little skill in the kitchen to whip out a fantastic meal that A) tastes great, B) looks beautiful, C) didn't mess up the whole kitchen making it, and D) was fairly easy to accomplish. I hope to see more from these authors in the future...

Comment:
I picked this book up and saw the the authors ski at Okemo Mt,Vermont where our family skis every weekend, so I had to check it out!! I have already made many of the recipes with great success--finally I can make an excellent calzone--at home!! authors Tina Anderson and Sarah Pinneo have put together a practical guide book including what to stock in your pantry and high altitude cooking instructions plus a wide array of easy, quick foods from appetizers to desserts. Great job, girls!!

Comment:
I bought this book about 3 weeks ago and have already made at least 10 items from it... some of them two or three times. All of the recipes I've tried so far are great. Some of my favorites are the beef stew, Vermont risotto, sour cream muffins and Rustic Apple-Pear pie. All of the recipes are very easy to follow as well. I am planning to give this book as a gift many times over!
