   No current Talk conversations about this book.  auldhouse | Sep 30, 2021 |  I bought this in the early 90s, when the whole "foodie" thing had recently happened in NYC. I would read this like a novel. Love it, even though I've only cooked a tiny fraction of the recipes.

The recipes are somewhat complicated, involving lots of steps, but the results are phenomenal. Even novice chefs can produce gourmet results. ( ) smbmom | Jun 12, 2008 | My favorite cookbook. I am constantly refering to it for information and recipes. I only wish it had color photos to enhance what I am trying to make.... ( ) Mendoza | Jul 5, 2007 | no reviews | add a review
