"One of the best Junior League books in the late 90's"

This cookbook hasn't collected dust like the others sitting on my shelves! The recipes are simple to prepare and elegant. My family and friends have enjoyed many of the recipes during the past year!The sourdough bread pudding with bourbon sauce is fabulous!

A beautiful, practical cookbook with delicious recipes!

I was pleasantly surprised by the content (both recipes and photographs) of this book. Beautifully illustrated, the book is at home in the kitchen or on the coffee table. The Sun-dried Tomato and Pesto dip, with only three ingredients, is just one example of an easy recipe for the unexpected guest.
