So begins "Quick Fixes & Hor d'Oeuvres," which, appropriately, is the starting point for the parade of recipes in Pure and Simple. A cookbook for the nineties and forever after, Pure and Simple is a collection of more than 300 recipes tested and judged by an international panel of food experts and chefs. Most take minutes to prepare, all are imaginative, and many offer suggestions for additional dishes to round out the meal. Submitted by InCircle members, a select group of Neiman Marcus customers-including such celebrities as Joan Lunden, Randy Travis, Ed McMahon, and Jose Eber-whose lifestyles are demanding, whose tastes are no less so, and who, above all, are not inclined to spend hours over a hot stove, recipes range in origin from Acapulco to New Orleans and from Nairobi to Shanghai. Many are preceded by the donor's brief personal anecdote about the source of the recipe. Ingredients are listed in order of use, directions are crystal-clear, measurements are in boldface-and the hard cover is washable! From soup to nuts, Daube d'Agneau Provencale to Warm Caramel Souffle, these are dishes for today's health-and time-conscious gourmet-pure and simply delicious.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of my top favorite cookbooks; absolutely wonderful!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pure & Simple: An Incircle Cookbook (Hardcover)
Although I have almost 2,000 cookbooks, this remains one of my all-time favorites, to which I turn again and again. I received a copy from a friend whose recipe was included in it -- and have since give copies to my own favorite people. Everything I have tried has been outstanding. The recipes were contributed by members of Neiman-Marcus's InCircle group of customers from all over the country, and almost all of the contributors included brief descriptions of the dishes, how they acquired the recipes, etc. They were then tested before publication. And all proceeds go to charity. I can't think of anything else I'd want in a cookbook -- delicious recipes, well-tested, described by the contributors, and all proceeds go to charity. And it ia a beautiful, professionally-printed book, to boot. VERY highly recommended.

Pure and Simple is full of great recipes. There are so many simple recipes in this book, as the title implies, yet many are also elegant dishes that are great for serving company. My shelves are full of cookbooks, but this one is the one I use the most!
