At Blanchard's Table: A Trip to the Beach Cookbook Hardcover – March 25, 2003

The recipes transported me back to the islands. Great recipes

This is a perfect hostess gift. I gave this to three friends as a thank you for hosting a bridal shower for my future daughter-in-law. They all enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, but their response to this cookbook even surprised me. They loved the pictures and upon flipping through had already identified several recipes they couldn't wait to try. They had not seen this cookbook so it was nice to introduce them to something different. It has a caribbean theme to the recipes which gives this cookbook a nice twist. I was staying with one of my friends and wanted to thank her and her husband for their hospitality, I made one of the recipes out of the cookbook. Very easy and yummy. I am going to buy myself the same cookbook.

I also own a lot of cookbooks. I love to read them. I checked this book out from the library, and it is the only one I have ever checked out for free that I wanted to pay for, not matter how much it cost. Wonderful tips on products, unpretentious - almost apologetic in tone because she didn't graduate from culinary school (neither did I! Perfect!), beautiful photography, many, many recipes I want to try. Sandwiches fillings that become dips that become sauces, terrific adaptation and suggestions. I am so glad to have this cookbook/story. It is an irresistable love story of food and hospitality. Makes me want to go to their restaurant in Anguilla - wherever that is..... At least I can eat and serve the food! Try it at your library and see. Delightful.

I read A Trip to the Beach, and was delighted that an occasional recipe would be included along with the story. Their experience is somewhat of a mental vacation in itself, it's easy to imagine the beauty of the island that they chose as their home. To add this cookbook was a great bonus, not only for it's recipes, but it was a pleasure to see the photos of the people that have become a part of the Blanchard's lives. I've only tried a couple recipes so far, but a must is the Very Intense Chocolate Slab. It's so simple, doesn't even involve baking, and is out of this world! Thank you to the Blanchards for this follow-up to their already enjoyable book! :)

We play bingo for prizes and this was a very nice prize. It Keeps on giving. Cookbooks are great gifts.Yummy

I have been slowly culling my cookbook collection over the past two years, because with everything online I just couldn't see justifying owning what I could pull up at my fingertips for free. I made an exception for the Blanchard's book however, not just because I am a fan of all of their books and their delightful tales of adventuring, but because I literally would make every recipe in this book on a regular basis. Delicious, simple and doable. Thank you, Bob and Melinda! I hope to one day visit your restaurants and taste the originals for myself.

First I Love Anguilla ! and This is the best place to go to! FOOD! This book reads like a adventure! You become attached to the people in the Adventure. The results are off the charts, simple and fun to prepare! and you will find yourself talking to the book! AND I bet anything, you will go to Anguilla!!!!Above , my sentiments exactly!!!!

This is a great cookbook and is a frequent reference for me when cooking. The avocado lime soup is Ah-mazing, as is the cornbread. The uniqueness of the recipes are a welcome change from "google recipes". Enjoy!
