1: Love these recipes!
Love the recipes in this book! The hummus is a family favorite...and I love that they are easy to "tweak" if I'm short on a particular ingredient, or if it calls for something I don't have. Pretty easy to follow for really yummy results!

2: Foster's Market From Home
Great cookbook! Every recipe I have tried has turned out perfectly and has afforded me rave reviews from my friends and family. Some of my favorites from this great resource: Old Fashioned Chicken Salad and Chocolate Chip Cookies!
This is a MUST HAVE for your cookbook library!

3: Mouthwatering scones, heart-to-heart talks
I am not an objective reviewer of this cookbook, because sitting in Fosters Market nibbling scones and sipping coffee kept me sane for 5 years of graduate school at Duke. My closest friendships were cemented there. There are other treasures in the region - Bill Smith's Crooks Corner in Chapel Hill was another favorite (you can find their shrimp and grits recipe on-line, and find more recipes in Seasoned in the South: Recipes from Crook's Corner and from Home). I bought Sara Foster's book for the scone recipe, and sent the book to friends. Reading the book reminds me that good food shared with good friends can bring great happiness. Thank you, Sara!

4: recreating college favorites
I lived right down the street from Foster's Market in Chapel Hill during college and just gave this cookbook to each of my roommates for graduation presents because we all love it so much! I eat there at least 4 times a week and now that we are all moving away we can attempt to re-create some of our favorites. The pictures in the book make your mouth water and look just like what the food in the market looks like. Some of the recipes seem a little difficult with lots of ingredients but trust me- they are worth it! Once you've mastered this one I would try her 'Fresh Every Day' cook book or 'Barefoot Contessa'.

5: Just as good as Fosters!
As a student at Duke University, my friends and I went to Fosters for brunch EVERY Sunday. The breakfast specials - pancakes, omlets, and the "special" - were always, without fail, incredible. If we made it there later in the day, the soups, breads, and salads were always a hit.
My best friend bought me this cookbook for graduation, and it was by far the best gift I received. Being able to actually make all the food we always ate at Fosters brought back all the memories of my college days. The strawberry-rhubarb crisp, hummus, blondies, and scones are among my favorie recipies to make. The pictures speak more than a thousand words and entice even the novice cooks to try out her recipies. Among my collection of cookbooks, this one is certainly the favorite.
If you are ever in Durham or Chapel Hill area, I encourage you to check out Fosters Market - truly worth the trip.
