5.0 out of 5 stars
Years of never-fail, delicious-tasting food,
By A Customer
This review is from: San Francisco A La Carte (Paperback)
I've had this cookbook and SF Encore ever since they were first published and have made many recipes from both cookbooks. Not one has failed to meet expectations. One caveat, however. This cookbook is meant for people who know their way around a kitchen, not for beginniners. Since I've been cooking for a very long time, this was no problem. These two cookbooks are well worn and often-used. I recommend both very highly.

Absolutely delicious!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: San Francisco A La Carte (Paperback)
I began cooking from this cookbook in college and am still using it 8 years later! Every recipe I ever attempted was a success not only in the preperation on my part, but the taste! From appetizers to desserts, this book has helped me stage scrumptuous feasts. I've been recommending this book to my friends for the past 8 years and all of them rave about it too! I figured it was about time to let the rest of the world in on this culinary masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A truly outstanding cookbook.,
By A Customer
This review is from: San Francisco A La Carte (Paperback)
As an avid collector of cookbooks (other people collect trinkets from their travels -- I collect cookbooks), I will say that this cookbook and it's companion, San Francisco Encore, are two that I would not want to be without. They are the first cookbooks I reach for when planning dinners, parties, etc. and I'm never disappointed. The recipes, while tasting like true gourmet fare, use common ingredients and have easy to understand directions. The fact that many of my friends have bought these books after sampling the results, also gives glowing testimony to the Junior League's success.
