Still one of my Favorites !!

This is an 'Oldie', but goody ... Purchased this for a friend, because I didn't want to give up my old copy!

Still the best curry recipes out there

I've been cooking with this book for nearly 30 years and it's still one of my all time favorite cookbooks. I've given away dozens of these over the years as very welcomed gifts. The lamb curry is a staple at our house and the shrimp curry is incredibly flavorful. Every time I make the ziti salad I get raves from my guests, it tastes like summer on a plate. I cut my culinary teeth on all the recipes in the mousse section, you cannot go wrong bringing anyone of them to the table. No review would be complete without mention of the stories and anecdotes that accompany the recipes, especially the ones about the authors' favorite dogs. Worth whatever it takes to track down a copy of this cookbook - mine is in tatters!

Before Barefoot Contessa there was Bert Greene's STORE

Wonderful recipes from the now long-closed take-out, THE STORE in Amagansett, owned by famous cookery writer Bert Greene before he became well known as a writer. Lots of delicious food and wit, served up with Bert Greenes' typical joie de vivre and including tibits of info about famous and not so famous customers such as Lee Radziwill, Leonard Bernstein and Barbara Streisand.
