From the author's Introduction: As this book's subtitle has it, it's a ""potpourri."" That expression can be defined as ""a mixture of dried petals and spices placed in a bowl to perfume a room."" But, having just published--at New Reformation Press--a little culinary masterpiece (A Gastronomic Vade-Mecum), I am thinking in terms of the secondary definition: ""an unusual or interesting mixture of ingredients."" Either way, you will surely enjoy this...
