I was VERY impressed with this book. Beautiful photographs, clear instructions, unusual recipes. If anyone is uneasy about entertaining this book will make you confident. From appetizers to luscious desserts. Cape Cod cranberry compote; and Indiana persimmon pudding are examples. She even included Thanksgiving leftover recipes -- and they're not the usual "blah" receipes, they look delicious! I love Succotash and the New England Iron-Skillet Succotash is so origiinal and delicious. These recipes can be used all year long. Ms. Morgan did a great job with this book -- it's beautiful and useful. A must for a kitchen. A lovely book.

I have had this book for a few years. It is geared to a beginning cook.

Today, 5 days before Thanksgiving, I decided to look up a few recipes.
There was a photo of a beautiful stuffing and the recipe was next to the
photo. By looking at the picture, I could see the pearl onions and chuncks
of sausage, but NOWHERE in the recipe are these two items listed!

So, then I decided to find a mushroom recipe and found a recipe in the index
for a Louisianna wild rice and mushroom dish. I went to the pages 129-130
and it was not there. There was a different recipe.

I put it in the box to trade at the bookstore.
