Having worn out two copies of Forum Feasts, I am ordering another. The recipes are interesting and manageable. From the Mushroom Hors d'oeuvre Turnovers (perfect for a cocktail party), to the Souther Burgers (great for a teenagers' get-together), to the Strawberry Torte (a wonderful dessert with which to end an elegant meal), friends have requested recipes from this book time and again. Many have ordered it. The notations at the beginning of each recipe as to how difficult it is, whether or not it can be done ahead, the preparation time, and the personal comments from the person who submitted the recipe, make this book a joy to use.

If you collect cook books or just have a few, this is the best book around.

I can't say enough about this book. Every recipe WORKS and is delicious. Recipes are rated on ease of preparation, whether the item may be frozen, prepared ahead - and how long the prep time and cook time are - and these are realistic times.

I would love to see a reprinting of this book. It was a major source of recipes when my children were growing up, and they remember it fondly. My original copy is just about worn out!

My copy is dated 1968 and bought it when living in New Jersey. I regard it as a constant companion because of the ladies that contributed their reliable and favourite recipes. Everything works and it's nice to know how long it takes, is it easy or difficult and some comments about suitability for an elegant dinner party or family gathering. They are also pages with helpful hints. Kudos to whomever initiated this concept
