Easy Elegance

What a beautiful and useful book! Most Junior League cookbooks are wonderful, but this one by the Junior League of Birmingham, MI is a true find. I turn to this book often for easy and elegant recipes that are always crowd pleasers. Not a single recipe has disappointed me. The photographs are gorgeous and the cooking tips sprinkled throughout the book are helpful. I like the fact that the recipes all come from real people and that they have all been triple tested--it makes me less nervous to try a new one. Seasons In Thyme also highlights local Michigan flavors, everything from "up north" fare to varied ethinic dishes--it's a great regional cookbook. It makes a useful and beautiful addition to any cook's cookbook collection.
