Chapters Publishing. Very Good. 1994. Softcover. 1881527549 . Softcover in VG condition. 384 pp More than two hundred recipes featuring not only onions but their close relatives: leeks, scallions, chives, shallots, and garlic. "Thanks in part to a near-obsessive recounting of anecdotes, the authors bring a world of onions to the reader. Fortunately, only one dessert is listed among the more than 210 recipes that make up the enormous work: an award-winning chocolate coconut pecan surprise cake baked with super-sweet Walla Walla onions. A many-layered history of onions is enlivened by the advice of popular professional chefs on how to avoid tears when cutting "smokers"-those searingly hot onions whose juices sting the eyes (use a very sharp knife, or wear scuba goggles). A crew of celebrity chefs contributed recipes. The text is presented with much good humor ("never have so many tears been shed over a project that was this much fun"), From Publisher Weekly ; 8.20 X 8.20 X 1.10 inches; 384 pp pages .
