This cookbook must be for someone with slightly more gourmet tastes than I. It gathers dust well, because it is a bit too stuffy and the recipes involve too many steps, too many small things. Simple food is better than convoluted food any old day.

    One of my fav cookbooks too. Great for entertaining and the recipes always turn out. I go back to it even after 20 years. Chocolate chip cookie recipe is to die for!

    I use it often enough....but, yes, the recipes are best done BEFORE the third glass of wine....some are tricky.

    I notice that the Shelfari review is lower than the Amazon, and wonder why. Does anybody use this cookbook with any regularity? I have made only two things from its pages, cookies and a salad and am planning on donating it to the library because it's all a bit too much. How often do you cook from this book, or any of them for that matter?
