Cook Book reviews and recommendations

"What a treasure - I've been looking for this book and Biblio came through! Thank you Biblio for hosting such a vast group of booksellers, enabling some of us seeking hard to find books a successful pursuit! Celebrate offers a splendid variety of entertainment menus with reliable recipes - people don't want to stop taking the goodies. We rarely have leftovers after using these sterling recipes for guests. Thank You, Biblio and Sheila Lukins, Peter Kaminsky!! Amy Nymark"

"I WON this book 45 years ago from a radio station. Pages are now missing, discolored and stained, so I've bought it again twice. The MASTER JAMES BEARD was a one-of-a-kind, who stressed the use the best of everything available, in-season, and done simply. His instructions couldn't be any better; i.e., beginning a chapter on meat, he uses a line drawing of the "product", blocked off in "cuts", which is followed by a description of each cut,Why the cut is best for one recipe and shouldn't be used for another. He describes criteria for purchase of all foods and herbs. There are many other James Beard books, some of which I own, but this one is my Cooking Bible. I'm way up in my 60's, a great cook in home & international styles, and can say that I was taught by the best there ever was. Not even expensive, I will continue to buy this book for gifts, for new or or experienced chefs. "

"This is a great book by a great author...it should be part of everyones collection."
