This book is a great find, with a well balanced number of different types of recipes. You will find a little bit of everything in here. I was amazed to see the quantity of really good recipes. Many times in collections you find a lot of misses, not in this one.

What fun to browse through these recipes. I think the best is the Northwood Inn's Red Cabbage salad.

For years I followed Rose Dosti's Culinary SOS article in the LA Times. I however, lived in Tacoma. We moved to southern California four years ago and I internet searched all her archived articles available from the LA Times. I found all her books on Amazon and just had to have them. If I had a way to meet this woman I would have, but as I understand, she sadly passed away. This is only one of her Culinary SOS books. I recommend them all and don't hesitate to do so. You won't be disappointed.

The Book Arrived today, now yesterday in Perfect Condition. I Loved Looking Through and Seeing Recipes as a Child. Either Grew up in Household Eating Or Heard About Them.I Collect Primarily European Cookery Books, yet, knew about this one for a Long Time.Former First Lady. M. Eisenhower's Fudge Recipe to Feed an Army of Children at Halloween! Popovers and Egg in the Hole we All saw being made in a Great Cher Film,the latter recipe.These are Memories which will Delight and Think of Your Mum or Dad's Cooking. My Mother was a terrific Baker, My Dad a Terrific Stove Top "Chef".So, they completed the Kitchen. We Never Had Meatballs and Spaghetti, I Still Do Not. Just know a Healthy Way Is Out There with A First Rate Recipe As a Guide. This Book Along with "Dear S.O.S. Desserts" Is a Terrific Duo.As w/Other Books, I'd Adapt as Much as Possible For Me and My Husband Would say a Resounding, Yes!He does not like much Sweets, Caramel a True Winner,Hands Down.We Play w/Versions of Chain Recipe's Pizzas to Our Comfort.Turkey or Chicken Tetrazini. Still looking for that Illusive, "Noodles Romanoff". Still have not found.Yet, as long as I have Amazon and Their Partners, I am "Golden".Thank You For Your Hard Work Every Day!
