Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2001

In Come & Dine, we find not only recipes for appetizers, soups, salads, breads, main dishes and desserts, we get a dash of humor and wisdom, too. Each recipe is accompanied by quotations of the great thinkers and humorists. Having suffered from the disease and overcome it through a disciplined regimen of exercise, Abigail established the Spasmodic Torticollis Recovery Clinic in hopes of helping others like herself. Her recipes come from the clinic's menus. Now, we don't have to be at Abbie's clinic to eat her great food. Her recipes are all right here, between the covers of Come & Dine.
