This is by far my favorite cookbook. Which is odd, because I loathe the William Sonoma store itself. Not the things inside, which tend to be quality items, but the whole fu-fu overpriced model of it (I do buy their overpriced martini glasses, some of them are beautiful).

Regular family favorites from this book are:
Chicken Curry, Baked Beets in Cream, roasted chili peppers in cream with shallots and basil, chicken with sage and calvados and a few others. I really need to keep trying new recipies in this because everyone I've tried is a winner. One note on the chicken curry -- I started with his recipe, but now I add onions, garlic, ginger and use more hot curry than he recommends. I tend to make an additional curry sauce that is very hot from a paste that I can add to mine. ( )
