PineappleGal Posted April 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2006 "The Carnival Experience" Your Favorite Dinner item from the Dining Room is now in a book. Do you remember that item, if not I have the book of all trades the "The Carnival Experience" the book that has all the recipes you need to have.

Cotton Posted April 9, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Nice of you to do this.....as well as the cocktail recipes. I have all three Carnival cookbooks, and refer to them from time to time. For anyone going on a cruise soon ... The cookbooks are not found in the gift shops. They're in the "Formalities Shop". Don't know why, but that's where they sell them.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lt Posted April 10, 2006 #22 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The Carnival Cook Book DOES NOT have all the recipes served as they advertise. I purchased this book specifically for the Cucumber and Zuchinni soup recipes and neither are in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judithdh1 Posted April 10, 2006 #25 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Can I go on line and buy a Carnival Cook Book. I could really kick myself for not buying one on my first cruise a year or so ago I thought at the time I would never use it. Now am wishing I had it.
