Most Helpful Customer Reviews   8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: A Lovely Little Cookbook, September 7, 2000 By A Customer What a nice surprise! In addition to the tasty recipes there are some amusing bits of trivia on each page that make this book very entertaining. This is a nice little gift item for any cookbook collector's shelf. Everything from Elvis' famous "P.B.& B." to the sophisticated "Ecuadorean Lamb Stew" is included in this new collection of recipes. Many of the dishes include variations of ingredients to experiment with. There are some very simple combinations that one would never think of trying like "Bacon and Banana Kabobs" with a honey-mustard marinade. I am anxious to try the "Plantain, Apple and Bacon stuffing" for Thanksgiving this year. The drink recipes are all sinfully delicious. My friends and I sipped "Banaquiris" and Coladas by the pool recently and made believe that we were vacationing somewhere tropical. The traditional breads, cakes and muffins are also included but there are updated versions that improve your Grandma's old fashioned recipes. I am always trying to sneak nutritious ingredients into my teenager's diet and there are numerous ideas in this book which should please even a picky eater like him. I enjoyed this book very much and plan to try many of the recipes.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
