Pricey good eatin'!

Woah! Looking at the high price of this book, I'm a bit cautious on purchasing it. I checked out the local library and found a copy there to read. I tried cooking a couple of the recipes and I'm very pleased at the results! They were both tasty meals and very flavorful. I would like to have a copy for my kitchen library but cannot see spending that much money.

Expensive book for having to convert recipe amounts.

This cookbook is quite expensive, but a very good cookbook. I believe the recipes are very good, but for a single person to use each recipe for one or two servings, recipes would have to be converted. Each recipe in the book is giving amounts for 4, 8 or 16 or more servings. I would like to have had recipes I could cook without all the extra work of conversion. BJC

Index is fine

For the person who wrote the previous review regarding the missing index, there is nothing missing from the index. There are several major categories in the index, such as Bread, Desserts, Poultry, Meat, and so on. The major sections are listed alphabetically and then all of the various index entries for each food type are listed alphabetically in each major category. In typeseting the index, however, someone included capital letters, such as "A" preceding the Appetizer section, and this shouldn't have been done because of the way the index was compiled and it may be confusing at first glance. Steps are being taken to modify this in future printings, but the book has sold very well for the publisher. It is a specialty book, but even so the paper edition is 226 pages with 30 illustrations and is very reasonably priced at $36.95.
