5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Outstanding Cookbook!, April 4, 2003
By A Customer
I stumbled on this cookbook truly by accident, having to buy one book for a commitment to a cooking book club--and what an amazing suprise! I love to cook gourmet food--especially recipes fit into my busy schedule as a mom and author of The Mom Book (www.momcentral.com) and often almost always in charge of appetizers for my various women group gatherings. I always rate recipes from 1-5, and anything below a 4 never gets cooked again. I have now worked my way through about 17 recipes from the Diva Cookbook, and remarkably they are all 5's--when most cookbooks fall into the 3 star rating of recipes. I have been raving about this all of my friends, who have been impressed by the complex tastes and sophisticated presentations of these delicious appetizers (while they have not taken me more than a half-hour to make at home)--so I figured it was high time to share my complete enthusiasm for this book on Amazon[.com] to pass the word along. Outside of The Splendid Table, this is the very best cookbook I own--all I can say is: Wow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for those who like to entertain, January 10, 2003
By mackr (Bay Area, California, United States) - See all my reviews
I received this book before the holidays as a gift and found it great for preparing glamorous holiday food. The recipes were not too complex, yet my friends and family were very impressed with the tasty results. Besides great tasting recipes, I think one of the best aspects is presentation. The smoked salmon in filo dough appetizer looked very elegant at New Year and went great with bubbly. The tips (called Diva dos and don'ts) are also quite helpful in avoiding problems.
I liked this book so much I bought a couple copies as gifts for friends.

Jennifer and Victoria do a wonderful job with walking you through each dish so it looks and tastes as wonderful as the pictures throughout the book. I use the book every weekend trying new dishes for my guest - All have been fantastic! This is a must buy for anyone who entertains.
