yes, this is really the BEST cookbook ever

When we lived in Philly, Frog, the Commisary, and Eden were definitely on our top 10 list. The recipes in this book bring that back for us every time. These recipes cannot be beat.

I am so glad to see this in print again so that we don't have to be tempted to photocopy.
