What do readers think of Three Many Cooks by Pam Anderson, Maggy Keet & Sharon Damelio? Write your own review.

Got to say, I was unfamiliar with this wonderful group of ladies prior to getting this book. Will have to frequent their blog now. As a woman who likes to cook and enjoys sharing the experience with my daughter, daughters-in-law and granddaughters, this book struck a chord with me and made me feel the warmth and love that women who love to cook can share. Loved the stories and will definitely try the recipes. A good read and good time!

As someone who is not a reader of the blog, Three Many Cooks, I did not know what to expect from this book. I found it to be an easy, enjoyable read. Because it is a series of essays written by Pam Anderson and her two daughters, it is a good book to pick up when you have only a little time to read. It is not the type of book however that you'd want to devour in one reading.

Each essay/chapter ends with a recipe. A number of them sound enticing and I marked a few to try. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to test any yet.
Overall, if you enjoy reading books about cooking and/or with recipes, Three Many Blogs is worth picking up.

If you are a "foodie," then you are in for a delightful afternoon of reading this series of cooking vignettes. Each one is shared by one mom and her two daughters who cook up original family stories and recipes. Pam, Maggie, and Sharon – they have a strong relationship, love to drink, eat/entertain and do not go a day without talking to each other. The masterminds behind the most successful blog, "Three Many Cooks," have written a very entertaining collection of stories that illustrate these women's individuality and search for kitchen perfection. This book contains both their highs and lows, kitchen disasters and entertaining triumphs.

I enjoyed this book, but would have liked more information about the recipes and fewer stories about how their lives revolved around food.

I had never read the blog, so I knew nothing about these ladies. It seemed it could be an interesting read about 3 family members working in the same kitchen, something I couldn't do with my mother or sisters. The format they used -- each taking a chapter, telling a story and adding a recipe is a good way to do a blog but not so good for a book as there is no continuity. I should have read the blog before I read the book to get a feeling for these ladies. Going in cold, it was like someone you don't know tell family stories about their family. It's hard to generate any enthusiasm if you don't know them.

I didn't dislike the book, I actually wanted to like it. In the end I was ambivalent.

I love to cook and have read several cooking memoirs over the years so I was intrigued by this book. While the concept of this book, essays written by a mom and her two daughters is an interesting approach, I was a bit bored by the stories. I read about a third of the book and then skimmed through the rest of the book. I did like the recipes that followed each chapter and will give many of them a try. Their blog looks interesting and have bookmarked for future reference.

There is much about this book that is appealing. Told in a series of essay, we learn about this mother, her two daughters, and their extended families. These women are smart, funny, and are the kind of women one might want as a friend. They discuss their relationships with each other, with food, their husbands, and their Christian faith. The format of this book, however, was a problem for me. The essays skip back and forth from woman to woman and sometimes out of chronological order. I found this very confusing, especially in the beginning when I was trying to learn about each individual woman. The addition of recipes that accompany each essay was appreciated, and there are several that I might try. This was, all in all, a very interesting read.

I think the concept of little personal stories of cookbook author Pam Anderson and her daughters was an interesting concept - short vignettes followed by a recipe tied to the story.

My question from the beginning is - why do we need to know about this family? I must admit I gave up on the book about half way through because I really didn't care that Pam had problems with her breast pump or the differences between the two daughters or . . .

I am a fan of Pam's books and own two of them but I don't see many people outside the family and close friends that would be interested.
