Product Description
This is the original Ellen Helman cookbook. The philosophy of this book is that gourmet food need not be elaborate and difficult to make, but fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The preparations reflect this "uncommonly" simple approach. With her easy-to-follow recipes, she presents imaginative, innovative ways of saucing and seasoning foods geared to the busy working world. Here is a collection of more than 300 dishes that will romance your sense and elevate home cooking to new heights. Originally published in 1990, this book has been a requested favorite and is now in its 8th printing.

Back in print! October 2, 2002
I just picked up a copy of this book (and the The Uncommon Gourmet's All-Occasion Cookbook) from the publisher (Font & Center Press -- Massachusetts). I ordered it directly but Amazon.com should be able to order copies -- and it wasn't $125.00 only $21.95. I was also told that there is a new book coming out by Ellen Helman in November. They are both wonderful books and I am glad that both are now readily available.
Best Cookbook To Own June 16, 2000

Cooking is my main hobby and I collect cookbooks. This is by far my favorite and most used one. I turn to it time and again for the simple, yet extremely tasty recipes. It never ceases to amaze me that they all produce marvelous results. This is even more amazing given the wide variety of recipes from every type of cuisine. Easy to follow intructions and simple lay out add to this book's appeal. WHY IS THIS BOOK OUT OF PRINT?
Fabulous cookbook with loads of easy to make, elegant dishes November 2, 1999

I love to cook and own many classic cookbooks, but there is none that I use more frequently than this one. The recipes are uncomplicated, yet delicious, and are suitable for both entertaining and every day meals. Unfortunately, after several years of continuous use, my book is falling apart! I hope the publisher reprints it soon, so that I can purchase a couple of spare copies!
EVERY RECIPE FANTASTIC!!! May 7, 1999
I have shared this book with many friends. Every meal is an award winner that I prepare from this book.
My favorite cookbook by far. April 9, 1999

I can rely on the Uncommon Gourmet to prepare impressive meals in little time. Most recipes require five to seven ingredients, which I usually have on hand. I've made quite a few meals that people keep requesting (such as the spinach, goat cheese and smoked salmon salad). I have seven friends who want this book. They think I'm holding out on them, so I'm amazed that this cookbook is out of print!
