Dinner is a meal that aspires to perfection, and with this cookbook, a perfect dinner--for one or two, the family or guests--has seldom been simpler to plan and prepare. Throughout the collection of 110 recipes, aluminum foil is used to its best advantage, for fine food quickly and easily prepared. In fact, foil-packet cookery is the natural descendant of classic cuisine en papillote (cooking in parchment), and 27 recipes for entres, side dishes and desserts cooked in packets are included with illustrated techniques. The seven chapters include: Vegetables, Rice, Poultry, Meats, Seafood, Baking and Desserts, with well-informed notes on cook's tools, ingredients, techniques and resources. As an aid in planning the perfect dinner, 21 menus are provided with page references to their recipes. And although this beautiful book has a hard cover, cooks will rejoice over its concealed spiral binding, which ensures that the pages lie flat and turn with ease.

What a wonderful resource for those of us who want to cook more "upscale" meals but just can't find the time. This book gives us both using something we all have in our kitchen--foil. The recipes look wonderful and I can't wait to try one of the packets described.
