Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Kirsch, a caterer, and freelance writer Greenburg are sisters-in-law who believe that cooking together is one of the great opportunities afforded by marriage. Directed at couples with sophisticated palates but limited time and culinary skills, these recipes come with kitchenware requirements, preparation and cooking times, do-ahead advice, cook's tips and suggestions for substitutions, presentation and wines. In chapters arranged by course ("Hors d'Oeuvres") and main ingredient ("Poultry"), new cooks can learn to serve up such dishes as Seviche of Shrimp; Leg of Lamb with Mustard Crust; and Whiskey-Pecan Pie. Another chapter, devoted to entertaining, offers menus and recipes for brunch, dinner parties, etc. A glossary of cooking terms and advice on stocking a pantry round out this thorough guide, which does not talk down to its readers.
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best..., August 26, 1999

By A Customer

This is one of the best cookbooks we received when we got married. The recipies are grouped together in menus that work for different occasions. The brownie recipe makes the most decadent brownies we have ever tasted. Would recommend this to anyone who needs a starter cookbook with more original dishes than a basic cookbook!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners, July 25, 2003

By A Customer

If you're a true beginning cook like me, this book will overwhelm you. I'm a working newlywed and eating three hours after I get home at 7pm just isn't going to work.

Some of the recipes are tempting, but overall they have lots of ingredients (some that i've never heard of or that are expensive to buy and then sit on the shelf) and take a long time to prepare/cook.

If I were having the parents over for brunch one Sunday, I may get up super early to surprise them with a meal from this book, but for everyday cooking, this cookbook is a disappointment. The "First" part of the title is misleading.

I'm looking for a BH&G type book but with modern recipes... hopefully I'll find what I'm looking for soon!

1.0 out of 5 stars A good idea with poor execution, August 1, 2002

By	Ashley (Chappaqua, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Having been a newlywed at one time, and having experienced many a bad meal, my wife and I have purchased more than enough cookbooks to fill a small library in an effort to improve our skills. We have made significant progress in the last seven years, unfortunately not to the credit of this book. The recipes are really not geared to an everyday lifestyle, nor are they very appetizing.
