I’ve just received a cookbook to review and have to say I love the concept! The Warehouse Gourmet is out to help you shop the “big box” stores in an economical fashion. None of that overly processed pre-packaged stuff in here. Instead, the book is full of great-sounding recipes for “6 pounds of ground beef” or “3 flank steaks” and other common big package meat items. I’ve already tried one beef marinade that turned out great. Next time I get a chance to get out to Costco, I’m going to try a few more recipes. But I’ve gotten pretty good at “reading” recipes and predicting the results and these ones sound good!
You can buy the book off their website. It’s a nice looking, sturdy, spiral bound, well done book. I love cookbooks that stay open!
Oh, they’ve got a food blog too.
Updated Nov 13, 2009: This has become one of my Go-To books for freezer cooking. I don’t do as much as I used to as I only have a frig/freezer combo plus there are only 2 of us to cook for now. But over the few years this book has come in handy many times and I highly recommend it if you shop at the big box stores and want to explore some freezer cooking.
