Moms Rothstein and Neft, who met when their girls started kindergarten, originally planned this to be a compilation of their families’ favorite recipes and crash-cooking advice—a thoughtful gift for their daughters on the occasion of their college graduation. They decided to go one step further, soliciting the recipes that role models such as Katie Couric, Nora Ephron, Perri Klass, M.D., Rosalynn Carter and a number of political, business and arts heroines would pass on to their own children. Many contributors explain why their chosen dishes hold special meaning. Cokie Roberts offers Okra Stew, which reminds her of her native Louisiana; U.S. Senator Patty Murray suggests that readers use apples from her home state of Washington in her pie recipe. Humor is sprinkled throughout—playwright Wendy Wasserstein, for example, merely gives the phone number for New York City’s Shun Lee West restaurant. Silliness aside, the many practical culinary tips—such as how to test baking powder for freshness, buy flour or distinguish between raw and hard boiled eggs—are bound to prevent many a kitchen disaster. Dishes range from simple standbys like Lipton onion soup mixed with sour cream as a party dip, to the sophisticated Chicken Provence, contributed by lingerie designer Josie Natori. Possibly the most useful pages for those graduating to their own apartments are in the "Troubleshooting" section, which offers answers to a list of "what can I do if?" questions along with equivalent charts, storage and diet advice. All in all, here’s a gift book that ought to be used plenty by anyone lucky enough to receive it.

Product Description
This special cookbook is more than a collection of recipes; it’s an act of love. When Naomi Neft’s and Cynthia Rothstein’s daughters graduated from college and moved out on their own, the mothers found themselves besieged by frantic phone calls asking for cooking advice: What’s the recipe for their mothers’ famous roast chicken? How long do eggs last in the fridge? What should they do if they oversalted something? What’s a quick and easy dish to impress a date? Called to action, Naomi and Cynthia decided to gather all their families’ recipes into one book. Then they asked other women—women who would make strong role models for their daughters—to share their favorite recipes. The result is this joyous book.
