Hands-down Favorite Cookbook

I love this book! I can't understand why more cooks don't know about it. It's the perfect cookbook for entertaining or just whipping up a gourmet-style meal out of nothing in your pantry. This is loaded with recipes, from dozens of great appetizers, to fabulous French-inspired meals, to unusual salads, to easy, unique desserts. Some of my favorites: - Tapenade (people rave about this when I make it!) - Vietnamese summer rolls (the best I've ever had) - Fish steaks with yogurt curry - Blood oranges with mint There are so many dishes to choose from, and 9 out of 10 I've tried never disappoint. When I have company, I always reach for this book to wow people. It's my (and Shulman's) secret how easy they are to buy for and prepare, and our guests are always impressed.

Entetaining Light - Healthy Company Menus with Great Style

I have LOTS of cookbooks. This is without a doubt - the best. Recipes range from very simple to a little more elaborate, but worth the effort. Nothing is really difficult. I have prepared many recipes and never have had a problem with any of them. If you are looking for one book to buy - this is it. Note: Try the tapenade: always impressive, and very simple to make. I take it to parties, and everyone loves it (I'm vegetarian, so I omit the anchovies - and it is still tasty). I made the poached pear and red wine sorbet last week - simple and impressive to serve.
