COPY ISBN
Michelin-starred chef Bijdendijk and sausage maker Levie love soup so much they launched their own canned soup business SNERT, named after the traditional Dutch split-pea soup. Focusing solely on soup, each recipe in this colorful cookbook is a meal of its own, meant to feed four to six people. The introduction describes categories of soups, plus shares notes on flavorings. There is a separate section on making soup stock to use as a base in many of the recipes. The soups themselves are organized by color, and the 52 recipes ensure a tasty soup option for every week of the year. The recipes come from a range of cultures around the world, including an Indian daal, a North Sea fish soup, an ajo blanco from the Mediterranean, and even a traditional borscht. The index by soup type will help readers find something that fits their tastes, and the variety of recipes gives options for different dietary needs.
VERDICT The recipes are not overly complicated, offering wide appeal and making the book accessible for less-experienced cooks.
