"I received my cookbook last week ---WOW!!! I am a cookbook collector with over 700 books and this is at the top. Not only will I be cooking from it, but it is a GREAT READ. The pictures are beautiful of your lovely hotel and grounds."
"My most sincere congratulations on the honors being bestowed on your restaurant. Personally, I don't believe there is a better restaurant ANYWHERE! And the cookbooks I gave as gifts over Christmas were a huge hit."
&quo;tWe came home just raving about the food. My son surprised me with a signed copy for my birthday. On Thanksgiving we made "The soup" and it turned out fantastic!! I can't wait to make another selection from the book. Thank you for all the work you put into both the book and your food."
"As a wonderful surprise, my parents purchased your new cookbook for me for Christmas. It is exquisite in every sense: the photography, the history, the details in the writing, and of course, the delicious recipes. Thank you so much for putting this memorable book (cookbook limits its true essence) together and sharing it with us."
"I received the cookbook and it is beautiful. Thank you!"
"I did purchase your cookbook and while I haven't had time to try the other recipes, I did make the signature soup for a small dinner party we had in January. It was fun, tasted great and our friends were amazed! (So was I for that matter - it came out looking like it should.) My husband and I always have that soup when we visit. Hope to see you all again this year--La Posada is one of our favorites."
"My wife received your cookbook for Christmas and absolutely loves it. The recipes and pictures are outstanding."
"My cookbook has arrived and I am devouring it page by page. Tonight I had five for dinner and it was the hit of the evening. I had requests for your recipes to be served at a later date."
"My wife and I were guests at La Posada at the beginning of April and had the opportunity to enjoy two dinners at the Turquoise Room. Consequently we bought a copy of your cookbook.
I just wanted to let you know that I am immensely pleased with the cookbook and a couple of the recipes that I have tried. Specifically, your basic tamales. For the second time last night I prepared tamales (with a lobster topping) from the basic “from scratch” recipe for masa. I must say they came out significantly better than they did the first time, but I would guess that is not an uncommon occurrence. I also did the recipe for the Chile Verde sauce.
I was preparing a meal for 12, so it was a challenge getting everything done and plated in my small home kitchen (Oh for more counter space!) but all came out OK and the guests were uniformly complimentary. Thank you so very much for not only hosting us at the Turquoise Room, but also for sharing your expertise and experience through the cookbook.
We look forward to returning to Winslow and your wonderful operation soon. "
"[Friends] gifted me with your cookbook. Am very looking forwared to attempting some of the wonderful recipes."
"Just returned from a short trip to California and found your new cookbook on my return. Sat down this morning to go thru it. What a delight and what a beautiful book. Can't wait to start making some of your wonderful dishes. Everything looks fabulous."
"I enjoyed the cookbook...still enjoying it."
"Dear Chef Sharpe - We would like to let you know that our lovely new copy of your cookbook arrived today and that it exceeds our already keen expectations."
"As a wonderful surprise, my parents purchased your new cookbook for me for Christmas. It is exquisite in every sense: the photography, the history, the details in the writing, and of course, the delicious recipes. Thank you so much for putting this memorable book (cookbook limits its true essence) together and sharing it with us."
"The cookbook is fabulous!!"
"I have already ordered and received four cookbooks, one for me and others for gifts. I wanted to let you know that I think the cookbook is wonderful, you did a terrific job!"
"This book is fabulous and I am so excited about adding more copies to my gift list plus one for myself."
"We ordered your cookbook that evening and received it this week. The writing is lovely and the pictures are beautiful. The personal notes on the various dishes as well as the history of La Posada are a bonus to the terrific recipes. I'm very excited to get started cooking and plan to incorporate some of the dishes in our holiday entertaining."
"... I saved the cookbook and gave it to my husband for Christmas. It was his most favorite and special gift. He said he even dreamed of Las Posada that night."
"We are truly enjoying your book!"
"Sitting here in the snow in Connecticut, I read your new cookbook (purchased on December 28th while dining there) from cover to cover. Such a treat to read about the foods that we have consumed, and the origins of the flavors!"
"I have been so pleased with your cookbook. I ordered it on the first day the notice was received and I have had a delightful time experimenting with your recipes."
