Apres All Day by Kelley Epstein is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early July。Sunny， flavorful， comforting， homey dishes to cook and activities to enjoy in the mountains/high altitudes， plus sharp， colorful photography and easygoing， familiar narration from Epstein。

This book centers around great food in cold weather （although that isn’t a requirement！）。I love how Kelley has tied all of the recipes together with her and her families love of all things snow！ Not only does she have simple， easy to follow recipes using normal ingredients you can find in any grocery store， she also provides interesting side chats for snow lovers – her favorite mountains to ski， fun things to do in the snow for the family， etc。Some of my favorite recipes from the book （and there This book centers around great food in cold weather （although that isn’t a requirement！）。I love how Kelley has tied all of the recipes together with her and her families love of all things snow！ Not only does she have simple， easy to follow recipes using normal ingredients you can find in any grocery store， she also provides interesting side chats for snow lovers – her favorite mountains to ski， fun things to do in the snow for the family， etc。Some of my favorite recipes from the book （and there is a lot） are Early Bird Granola， Pumpkin Crumb-Top Muffins， No-Bake Snickers Granola Bars， BackCountry Banana Bread Cookies， Chairlift Chickpea Salad， Mulled Cranberry Mimosa and White Russians。 （I'm basically licking my lips as I'm typing this review and it's summer。。。。in Florida！）The photographs are beautiful！ Not just of the food but of the mountains and little ski towns。 So pretty！This would make a great Christmas gift for cooks/bakers that love winter and snow。 It’s such a fun theme！Thank you to #ChronicleBooks and #NetGalley for making this book available for review。 All opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

Apres All Day is a wonderful， cozy take on Alpine food。 Everyone knows that one of the best parts of skiing is the après and this book takes that idea and turns it into a lifestyle。 It is also a great resource for high altitude baking/cooking。 The photography in the book was really stunning - it transported me quickly to the cozy， mountain top and made me wish I could do a quick ski vacation in the middle of summer！ I found the recipes and ingredients to be simple and accessible - these could be Apres All Day is a wonderful， cozy take on Alpine food。 Everyone knows that one of the best parts of skiing is the après and this book takes that idea and turns it into a lifestyle。 It is also a great resource for high altitude baking/cooking。 The photography in the book was really stunning - it transported me quickly to the cozy， mountain top and made me wish I could do a quick ski vacation in the middle of summer！ I found the recipes and ingredients to be simple and accessible - these could be enjoyed by anyone。 While I didn't find anything in the cookbook to be particularly new or out of the box， I think it offered great versions of recipes that can quickly become family favorites。 A few standouts for me included No-Bake Snickers Granola Bars， Bluebird Veggie Wraps （the sundried tomato spread got me excited about this）， and Chairlift Chickpea Salad。 I appreciated that the recipes covered a range of light to heavy - this book definitely proved that mountain or cold weather food doesn't have to be heavy。 。。。more

While this book is not for me*， I liked it。 The recipes are varied， so there is something for everyone， and the ingredients are typical grocery items， nothing too weird。 There's a lot more alcohol than I would have expected， but I'm not going to lie， some of those drinks look good。 The photography throughout was gorgeous， but I would have liked fewer snow pictures and more food pictures。 This would make a great book for a cabin。*I live in the desert， I don't ski， and I have several dietary restr While this book is not for me*， I liked it。 The recipes are varied， so there is something for everyone， and the ingredients are typical grocery items， nothing too weird。 There's a lot more alcohol than I would have expected， but I'm not going to lie， some of those drinks look good。 The photography throughout was gorgeous， but I would have liked fewer snow pictures and more food pictures。 This would make a great book for a cabin。*I live in the desert， I don't ski， and I have several dietary restrictions。Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a digital review copy。 Publish date August 3， 2021。 。。。more

In her introduction to ‘Après All Day’， Utah native Kelley Epstein （who blogs at Mountain Mama Cooks） describes some of her fondest childhood memories as building snow forts， having epic snowball fights with the neighborhood kids， sledding with her brothers， and snowmobiling to the family’s remote cabin in Wyoming。 She writes: “We played outside until we couldn’t feel our toes， our gloves were soaking wet， and our eyelashes were miniature icicles。 It was the best。 But you know what I loved even In her introduction to ‘Après All Day’， Utah native Kelley Epstein （who blogs at Mountain Mama Cooks） describes some of her fondest childhood memories as building snow forts， having epic snowball fights with the neighborhood kids， sledding with her brothers， and snowmobiling to the family’s remote cabin in Wyoming。 She writes: “We played outside until we couldn’t feel our toes， our gloves were soaking wet， and our eyelashes were miniature icicles。 It was the best。 But you know what I loved even more？ Heading indoors to warm up by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate and a handful （or two） of mini chocolate chip cookies。 I suppose I learned to appreciate the art of après from a very young age！”Epstein and photographer， Ren Fuller， have collaborated to create a sumptuous cookbook filled with easy to follow recipes and vivid， enticing photographs。‘Après All Day’ includes savoury or sweet comfort food for everyone。 Here are delicious meals， snacks and ‘thirsty après’ designed with minimum preparation times， using equipment and ingredients most people will already have in their kitchen。There are recipes for every meal including Crispy Kahlúa French Toast as pre-ski fuel， Tater Tot Nachos， a。k。a。 ‘Tatchos’ for an indulgent snack on the couch， Classic Beef Stew with Cheesy Garlic Bread for a family potluck， and a well-deserved Oatmeal Bourbon Crème Pie to end the day。The magic Epstein and Fuller weave leaves me feeling that there is nothing I would rather do than curl up under a blanket with a mug of Almond Joy Hot Cocoa in a chalet surrounded by mountain slopes covered in sparkling snow。 ‘Après All Day’ is an ode to life in the mountains for food lovers， armchair travelers， skiers， hikers and anyone who lives in places with cold winters。A huge thank you to @NetGalley and @ChronicleBooks for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Thank you Net Galley for the copy。 This is a great little book of recipes。 Some would even work on a summer day， but most will be wonderful in cold weather。

This cookbook perfectly and beautifully fills a niche in the cookbook market: what to cook in the snowy mountains and how to do it， even at high altitude。 The book has an apres-ski theme， and the intended audience is families and friends cooking and eating together after snow sports。 The book features thoughtful ideas for post-ski comfort food that is fresh and healthy。 Recipes are mercifully approachable and clearly photographed， and the book also features lots of tip boxes and ideas pages to h This cookbook perfectly and beautifully fills a niche in the cookbook market: what to cook in the snowy mountains and how to do it， even at high altitude。 The book has an apres-ski theme， and the intended audience is families and friends cooking and eating together after snow sports。 The book features thoughtful ideas for post-ski comfort food that is fresh and healthy。 Recipes are mercifully approachable and clearly photographed， and the book also features lots of tip boxes and ideas pages to help make ski trips more comfortable。 More important to me than the attractive presentation here is the author's authority。 Epstein is well-known in mountain communities from her blog， Mountain Mama Cooks。 My house is at 7，100 ft elevation， and if it weren't for Epstein's innovative high-altitude recipes from the blog， my children would never taste a homemade cookie or brownie。 The beauty of this Apres All Day cookbook is that the recipes are designed for sea level， with a thorough introductory section on how to adapt for various altitudes。 There are other cookbooks on the market for those of us dwelling permanently at high altitude， especially when it comes to baking。 This book is not a good substitute for those more serious technical high-altitude tomes。 Instead it is one I will want in my plastic tote full of things that travel with us to vacation rentals even higher in the mountains。 If you own a vacation rental in the mountains， this book is a must have to help your guests。 I am so grateful to #netgalley and Chronicle Books for the sneak preview of this book via the e-ARC that they shared in exchange for my candid review。 。。。more

I love all the references to skiing！ Living in Colorado and frequenting many of the ski towns， the idea of Apres is a familiar concept。 I love the collection of recipes all in one place to pay homage to the idea of collecting family， friends， and food after a hard day on the slopes。 Each recipe represents comfort and simplicity， both sentiments sought after a day in the snow。 There really is something for everyone， any time of day。 Thank you for pouring your heart and sharing your recipes in thi I love all the references to skiing！ Living in Colorado and frequenting many of the ski towns， the idea of Apres is a familiar concept。 I love the collection of recipes all in one place to pay homage to the idea of collecting family， friends， and food after a hard day on the slopes。 Each recipe represents comfort and simplicity， both sentiments sought after a day in the snow。 There really is something for everyone， any time of day。 Thank you for pouring your heart and sharing your recipes in this excellent collection！ I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own， freely given。 。。。more

What makes this recipe book distinctive in the visuals is the sheer number of photos of skis and snowboards stuck in the snow while their owners are elsewhere – having some food， or drink， or concussion tests perhaps。 The shtick here is that these dishes are for the ski chalet， the suntrap balcony in the afternoon while the lift pass warms under your multiple layers （nb I have no bloody idea if they do that or not， I was trying to be poetic） or the get-together to compare snow-burn， bruises and What makes this recipe book distinctive in the visuals is the sheer number of photos of skis and snowboards stuck in the snow while their owners are elsewhere – having some food， or drink， or concussion tests perhaps。 The shtick here is that these dishes are for the ski chalet， the suntrap balcony in the afternoon while the lift pass warms under your multiple layers （nb I have no bloody idea if they do that or not， I was trying to be poetic） or the get-together to compare snow-burn， bruises and so on around a loaded party table。What makes it distinctive in the actual recipes is – well， the idea that it considers how to bake， fry， make perfect rice etc at higher altitudes must surely make it unique。 Otherwise there is little connection from one dish to another。 Generally they have an energy-giving attitude， so breakfasts are snappy bakes， granola things， energy bars etc， there are snacks to leave in the car in case of white-outs， and the mains are simple ingredients given sensible treatments to give maximum pleasure for minimum effort。 You should get the gist – there is no namby-pampying about with hard-to-find specialist ingredients （beyond certain specified brand name breakfast cereals etc）， there is no cause for a rack of unique utensils with which to treat your salads， and there is little chance of any of this really getting sniffed at。I can't say I pulled a lot of these recipes out for future reference， but the next time we stock up on turkey mince those French soup-styled meatballs are going to get a try-out， and there's a sticky twist on the salmon I would usually rustle up。 I also might thank the author forever for adding not only rice crispies but also Kahlua to my eggy bread。 I wouldn't thank her for the paid-by-the-word editorialising that comes with each and every dish， but that – and the copious needless photographic filler – seems to be the house style from this publisher， whose recipe books are new to me this month。 Her recipes themselves have more concision， and while the book will only really gel with fellow winter sports participants （there is a lot of skiing bumpf， as the ratio between recipes and pages implies） there is nothing whatsoever here to deter anyone from having a good browse。 Three and a half stars as a purchase。 。。。more
