Michael Symon's 5 in 5 for Every Season is a beautiful cookbook with tons of colorful photographs of every recipe and thick pages. It is packed with 165 recipes which are all easy and quick to make with ingredients that can be easily found. All of the recipes are new and different and some seem to have very interesting flavor combinations. For example, the Spicy Salami, Cantaloupe and Mint Salad. It sounds like something I don't even think I would want to try cooking. There are quite a few recipes like this but fortunately it is balanced with recipes that I actually do want to try. A few that sound appealing are the Kale Bread Salad with Feta, the Autumn Panzanella, the Spicy Fried Shrimp and the Grilled Skirt Steak with Radish & Blue Cheese. The cookbook is broken into seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Holidays. This is a nice way to break things down and now that it's Fall, I find myself turning to the Fall Chapter frequently. Overall this book is a good one. There are lots of new and exciting recipes to try and a few that you might want to skip. The seasonality of this cookbook makes it one worthy of your collection as it makes it easy to whip up something warm and comforting in the Fall and Winter or light and fresh in the Spring and Summer. I received a copy of this cookbook for free in exchange for my honest review from Blogging for Books.
