Feasts: Menus for Home-Cooked Celebrations [Hardcover]

Leslie Newman (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Newman is a well-known screenwriter (she and her husband wrote scripts for the Superman movies), but she is also a food writer who loves to entertain. These menus for a variety of occasions are designed to allow the cook to relax and enjoy the feast. They feature tried-and-true recipes, many of which can be made ahead, many of them comfort food--food for good friends. However, this is a crowded genre; for larger collections.

This book has transformed my social cooking into the 'legendary' category. Everything from Arabian cooking to true Carolina BBQ is wonderfully explained. The book is a leisure read in the kitchen and Leslie's writing style demonstrates a warm, wonderful appreciation for life. I couldn't recommend another cookbook more.
