“Behnke grew up in a family who valued good food, and she begins her cookbook “Memorable Recipes to Share With Family and Friends” with some of her own food memories. The introduction continues with a guide to planning parties as well as some wine notes by Dan McCarthy, co-owner of Seattle’s McCarthy & Schiering Wine Merchants.” ––The Register Guard http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/news/sevendays/17143762-35/story.csp

And in the back of the book, Renee arms you with the the tools for great party planning: menu planning ideas, checklists, and copious wish-someone-would-have-told-me-that tips” ––Seattle Tall Poppy http://seattletallpoppy.blogspot.com/2009/06/memorable-recipes-with-sur-la-tables.html

“In Memorable Recipes to Share with Family and Friends, (Renee) Behnke shows how to throw a dinner party, with advice, tips, menus and recipes to do just that. She offers everything from appetizers to desserts and theme meal ideas such as an Evening in Spain, Celebrate Italy, Dining Alfresco and a Mardi Gras Feast. Some of the recipes have an ethnic touch such as Pakistani Vegetable Samosas, Moroccan-style Biscotti and Lemon Israeli Couscous.

The hardcover cookbook is easy to navigate with color codes for the chapters, do-ahead tips and menu ideas for each recipe and plenty of color photographs scattered throughout.” ––Appleton Post Crescent http://www.postcrescent.com/article/20090603/APC0405/906030497

“I really don’t have anything negative to say about this book. I am happy to have received a copy of it because my cookbook collection is so large that I have a tendency to buy more specific cookbooks (ethnic, vegetarian, healthy, etc.) This is a book I might have over-looked, thinking it was too general and that would have been a mistake because it has so much to offer. The recipes I tried would make for memorable evenings and events, so it is aptly named. Memorable Recipes is a beautiful book and is perfect for anyone who likes delicious, simple but elegant food and entertaining at home. ” ––Kahakai Kitchen http://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2009/06/cookbook-review-memorable-recipes.html

“As president emeritus of Sur la Table, one expects a cookbook by Renée Behnke to be elegant as well as meticulous. Memorable Recipes lives up to, even surpasses, those high expectations, but adds the generous, personal touch of Behnke herself. Each recipe is a star on its own, but each is accompanied by a brief, often nostalgic note about the recipe, as well as with ideas to create an entire menu to accompany the recipe.” ––In Mamas Kitchen http://www.inmamaskitchen.com/Book_Reviews/PARTY/Memorable_Behnke.html
