5.0 out of 5 stars Things that make you go mmmmmm......, March 3, 2001

By	D. STOCK-KIEFER "bookworm" (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't know how anyone looking through this book could resist it -- recipes like Orange Rosemary Muffins with Sliced Duck Breast (you can skip the duck; the muffins are great with any salad); scrumptious Bruschetta; lovely, peppercorn-studded Marinated Goat Cheese; savory Summer Vegetable Couscous; mouthwatering Ham, Cheese, Mushroom and Walnut Salad; Tri-Berry Muffins with their sugar-crackled tops; addictive Orange Shortbread; and Honey Herb Rolls, my favorite bread of all time (toss any leftover herb-oil mixture with pasta and grated Asiago). This and Ms. Chase's Cold-Weather Cooking are sure to become much-used favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!, March 14, 2000

By A Customer

I have made over 1/2 the recipes in this book, and they have all been terrific! The only cookbook better than this one is her "Cold Weather Cooking". I have over 3,000 cookbooks in my collection, but I keep returning to Sarah Leah Chase's books over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Personal favorite, January 24, 2001

By A Customer

I'm a personal chef and caterer and this is one of my mainstay cookbooks. Everything I've ever cooked from it has been distinctive and wonderful--especially the Shrimp Salad recipe that has Pernod in it. The recipes are totally reliable and great for entertaining. Beautiful, delicious, wonderful use of good ingredients.
