Cooking the Swiss Way (Easy Menu Ethnic Cookbooks)
This entire series is fantastic.I've been using it both with my Girl Scouts & 4H clubs for about 20 years now, but also for myself.

This is meant to be a children's cookbook, but unlike most on the market it doesn't talk down to them.A fantastic introduction to the regional cooking with lots of useful information regarding cooking in general & ethnic cooking as well.

Not for someone who is advanced in a particular cuisine, but it does what it sets out to do really, really well.Just wish they would put out regional American cooking books as well.

Cooking the Swiss Way
Cooking the Swiss way is a simple book with basic Swiss recipes.It also gives a broad explanation of some of the Swiss customs.It is a fantastic book (5 stars) for the young cook in the kitchen trying new culturalrecipes although for the more advanced it misses its mark. ... Read more

Quite authentic...
I'm married to a swiss man and have visited Switzerland a lot, this book offers the real tastes that you find at the village homes of any regular swiss cook. Delicious! Although, the recipes are quite rich, so if you are on a diet or don't do dairy this book might not work for you.

Swiss Cookbook by Nika Hazelton
I was so pleased to purchase three copies of my well-used cookbook, containing many family favorites, for my daughters!Since I believed my (signed) hardback copy was no longer available after so long, finding the softcover version online was a delight.

Swiss Cookbook
For anyone who loves Switzerland, this is not only a cookbook but a beautifully written tribute to that lovely country.Although it was published in 1967, most of the almost lyrical observations are still valid because the Swiss hold to theirtraditions steadfastly. It is an authentic description of the countryside, the Swiss and the cooking of that most charming place.

Good Cookbook
I would like to say that I remember this book from 30 years ago, when I lost track of my copy, and have been trying to track one down ever since (with temporary success -- now I'm finally buying a copy again, thank goodness it is STILL IN PRINT - can you believe it-haven't been so luck on other titles). So, I would like to re-writ my review AFTER I have read it again. Having said this, I will say this about the book. It had a wonderful description of the Tobler Chocolate factory and what I learned about chocolate, I think about every time I enjoy really GOOD choclate (in fact, that's how I know it's really good -- it's in the "conching." This book introduced me to Raclette, which I enjoyed immensely and often during the several months I lived in Switzerland a few years later. There is a memorable Neufchatel Wine Tart. The book was a great "read," as I recall; I just loved it.

Very Enjoyable
I really enjoyed this cookbook because it features a lot of authentic Swiss food.I worked in the area when I was in college and this book contains recipes for many of the dishes I enjoyed.This cookbook wasoriginally published about 30 years ago, so some of the preparation stylesare a bit dated.The food is delicious, but the fat content can be high. ...
