High rate for delivery service
This was a gift, so I do not have any idea about the quality of the book, however the delivery was swift and rapid.

Not quick and easy
The recipes seemed unduly complex to me, and I'm not crazy about their cheese choices.

not worth it
This book isn't worth getting....It doesn't even give recipes for
sauces,warm dips or recommendations for cheeses . waste of money

Not good at all!
If you want to buy a good raclette book, buy Raclette: The Insider's Guide to the Secret World of Raclette Dining and not this book here by Claudia Schmidt.

This Christmas my friends showered me with gifts about my new found passion: Raclette. I received everything I asked for, including all four books about raclette that exist in English: This book by Claudia Schmidt titled Raclette (Quick & Easy), Raclette: The Insider's Guide to the Secret World of Raclette Dining, Swissmar Raclette Recipes and Raclette Recipe Book By Trudeau.

Unfortunately, the first very big disappointment was that out of these four books a total of three are actually identical! This book by Claudia Schmidt received a different cover from both Swissmar and Trudeau without any changes to the content. This in itself would cause me to give a zero rating as no sufficient warning was given to this effect. (I must however admit that at least one fellow reviewer did point out this "ripoff", my friends simply didn't read it.)

But even more disappointing is how bad this book compares with The Insider's Guide to Raclette. This book does not even talk about the traditional raclette! It wastes valuable space (it is only 64 pages) with tips what to drink (as if that could not be told in a few words: up to you!), salads and other side dishes and full page table of content pages for each subsection of a few pages! This leaves only about 40 pages (including 20 pages of photos) of "real" content... If you do not have a hot stone on top of your raclette grill, well you're down to about 30 pages including pictures.

So how do these 30 pages (15 pages of recipes) compare to Raclette Australia's 96 pages book? If you have grown up with raclette and are getting bored of having the same recipes again and again, then Claudia's book is not bad if you buy it for less than $3. But if you are new to raclette, don't buy it, go straight to the obvious choice: The Insider's Guide to Raclette. The Insider's Guide explains history and present developments of all things raclette in a way only an insider can, without ever getting boring, it is oozing with knowledge that Claudia Schmidt unfortunately either doesn't possess or simply forgot to write about. The Insider's Guide contains traditional and modern raclette recipes plus so much more. See also my review on that book.

In summary: Don't buy Claudia Schmidt's book, go for the better choice instead, The Insider's Guide to Raclette.

Product Description

Winter ideal for Raclette

As the raclette meal was invented in the alpine regions of Switzerland, winter is the ideal time to try raclette. This book will take a novice and make a true expert out of her in all things raclette. Other books on this topic fail by assuming the reader to know about raclette, but The Insider's Guide to the Secret World of Raclette Dining starts at the very beginning. It is the only book on raclette originally written in English (not translated like "the other book" in all three incarnations!) The first part looks at raclette's relationship with fondue and also answers the question why fondue became so famous outside Switzerland while raclette remained a well-kept secret for over 500 years and what the Swiss are doing right now to try to keep it a secret.

The recipe section is full of inspirational recipes that you really want to try. Packed with serving suggestions and which cheeses are ideal for raclette melting. Recipes included: Traditional Raclette, Mini-Hamburgers, Raclette a la Pizza, Camembert with Cranberries, Spinach filled Crepes plus many dessert options. Brilliantly composed with colour photographs for every recipe, the book is the ideal companion to the modern table top Raclette grill. Showcasing the various ways that you can enjoy raclette from the traditional Swiss style to the way the French or the Dutch like to serve it.

In August 2007 Leelanau Cheese Company won the Best of Show Award from the American Cheese Society for their Aged Raclette cheese, recognising it as the best cheese in the USA in 2007. While this fact happened after the book was printed, it contains a lot of other top rated information even experts want to know.

This book is the only book in English that actually contains the traditional raclette recipe itself as well as the modern variations. It does not waste valuable space for drink recipes or fills up the last third with salad recipes (or puts a pumpkin salad on the cover!) like other books on this topic. It is the only book in English offered directly by Amazon and of such high quality that you will not find used or discounted copies.

The book is written, printed, bound and published in Australia by the internationally recognised experts from Raclette Australia.

Get it now for yourself and another for a friend as a great Christmas present!

very small book for such a large price
I was very surprised to find the book to only have 90 some pages and was just a little larger than a half sheet of copy paper. The recipies and illustrations are great, however, I would have expected to pay much less for what I received.

A great cookbook and reference!
When I was showered with gifts this Christmas I received four books on raclette, my new foodie passion. This was one of the four books and by far the best. The others I rate between zero and one only.

First up, here are the negative points about the book. While there is a conversion table in the back of the book it took a short while to get used to metrics for the recipes. I have now added the measurements in pencil and all is fine. Some of the pictures are not the best color, but I don't mind as it is the inspiration that counts.

And that's all the negative I can find about this book, otherwise it is just an incredibly good book! I was very impressed by the obvious knowledge of the authors and also went onto their website at www.raclette.com.au mentioned in the book to find out more. Very impressive and that they are experts is easily spotted when you browse through those pages.

The books strongest point is that it is the only book that talks about everything that raclette is: Yes, it is a cheese, a meal, a grill and a style of cooking, and all this is explained very well in the first part (the information section if you like) of the book. And the recipe section - the second part of this great book - starts with two real raclette recipes that you don't find in any other raclette book on the market today. The recipes are not categorized into starters, dessert or similar, instead they take you on a whirlwind tour of raclette around the world. There is the Swiss and the French raclette, a special Dutch style of using your raclette grill, a Mexican, Hawaiian, Chinese and even Japanese raclette.

There is plenty of recipes that will be loved by children such as the raclette pizzas, hamburgers or pancakes. I actually tried them out with children and the result of well supervised raclette interaction was phenomenal. Personally, I love most the Stuffed Mushrooms with Feta recipe, simply the best!

If you only want to buy one raclette book in your lifetime, get this nice hard cover copy, it is by far the best book on the market!

Raclette Review
My first impression when I opened the package from Amazon was you've got to be kidding.$44.95 for this?It's a smallish book that needs better photographs.All the pictures have a yellow greenish cast that makes the food look unappetizing.I've purchased way better cookbooks for this price.This is definitely not a good value.In fact, I'm finding it hard to want to keep it for the price. ...
