 Fall in love with "Falling Cloudberries". January 18, 2005
53 out of 58 found this review helpful
I have loads of cookery books, I'm something of a cookery book addict. I could not resist this one because the photos and overall presentation of the book was mouth-watering. I bought this book just before Christmas and used it all over Christmas. Every recipe I have tried from it has worked beautifully! I made the pineapple upside-down cake for my in-laws and it was fantastic. I have made pineapple cakes in the past but Tessa's recipe includes a caramel sauce that you cook into the cake so that when you turn it upside-down, it makes the cake beautifully moist.
One of my favourite foods is candied yams (sweet potatoes) which I always used to cook in the oven. Tessa's recipe cooks them slowly on the stove top in orange juice which moistens and caramelises at the same time - gorgeous.
Apart from the recipes, what I love about the book is the way the reader is drawn into Tessa's own family history. You are introduced to the members of her family through her family tree and the book is beautifully illustrated with old family photos. This gives the recipes themselves a sense of place and history as the recipes are handed through the family. The author has travelled widely and collected recipes along the way. The food takes the reader on a worldwide journey, experiencing the cuisine of the places she loves.
Tessa says in her introduction, "These are my favourite recipes". They are fast becoming mine, too!

I have fallen in love with this enchanting book. Just on the basis of a collection of recipes this is still a fantastic book, but this is far more than just a collection of recipes. In Tessa Kiros's Falling Cloudberries she has created an immensely personal journey through different lands and experiences and the resulting eclectic mix of foods and approaches to recipes.
It is an exquisite book both visually (it is of an exceptionally high quality) and through the generosity of Tessa's fascinating biography allowing the recipes she has chosen to really come alive.
I look foward to getting to know this book well. What a treasure and what a treat. You will want to share this book with everyone who is dear to you, as Tessa shares her memories of those who are dear to her.
Thank you Tessa for the wonderful gift that is 'Falling Cloudberries'.

This book is divine.I love the intermingling of family history with food and glorious pictures. I love knowing where everything comes from. You will want to read the book from cover to cover as well as making most of the recipes for your friends and family.

Gorgeous book - lovely to look at even if you don't intend using it to cook with - if you do, even better. The recipes are simple, you don't need a trolley full of ingredients, very easy to follow and wonderfully tasty rather than simply following the latest food fad. My favourite so far is the vanilla ice cream which beats anything you can get in the shops - and you don't need an ice-cream maker.
What a find! January 4, 2005

This definitely joins the ranks of those I would want on a desert island. With such a heritage, Tessa Kiros makes the reader feel part of her extended family - we are there eating the cooked-for-hours Greek lamb, driving with her along the country roads of Italy, collecting berries in the summer in Finland. Buy it, it will become part of you. I love it.
