Rating: Summary: Great Book... and OH so are the recipes! Review: Being an avid Jackie fan for years, I picked this book up and bought it without even opening the cover. It is by far the best Jackie book I've read and will not even lend it out to my best friend!
Rating: Summary: This is more than just a cookbook! Review: Delightful book with delicious recipes. The Summer Pasta Salad and the Brownie recipes are out of this world! This book not only contains delicious recipes, but it also allows the reader into the lives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis and her children, letting you see a side of them through the photograhps in this book, that has rarely been seen in the past. It is a reminder that the members of this close family are ordinary people, rich in their tradtions. A very enjoyable book and great to give as gifts to other cooks in your life.

Rating: Summary: Not Just A Cookbook Review: Filled with wonderful photographs and remembrances, as well as wonderful recipes. It would be difficult to pidgeionhole this into one single category, memoirs or cookbook. The recipes are simple and delicious - a bit out of the ordinary, but certainly not as pretentious as one might expect. It is also an extraordinary personal glimpse into the over-exposed lives of Mrs. Onassis and her family, but this doesn't feel intrusive. I would say this would be a welcome addition for anyone who loves to experiment in the kitchen, as well as those who hold the memory of Mrs. Onassis dear.

Rating: Summary: A charming memoir...and the recipies work! Review: I actually made the "Diana Vreeland Shepherd's Pie" and my dinner guests thought it was scrumptious and asked for the recipe!This is a charming book, a refreshing tale of the Kennedy family told from the kitchen, of all places. The pictures are wonderful, simple, informal poses of the family when they wanted to have their pictures taken, and not when the press intruded on their lives. The author is discrete and protective, but funny and warm as well. For anyone who loves the Kennedys and for anyone who loves good food, this is the book for you.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Book!! Review: I am so glad I purchased this book. It is wonderful! The pictures are heart warming as are the stories. The recipes are, for the most part, easy to prepare and taste great. Thank you Marta for writing such a wonderful book and sharing your memories of one of the greatest ladies ever!!!
Rating: Summary: A Truly Delightful Book Review: I came home from a very trying day at work and found this book had arrived. I began reading it immediately and found it so interesting. You must read the text between the recipes to get the full impact. What a story. One can't imagine the life and times of these people, but Marta gives you a good idea. The recipes aren't that difficult and I'll be trying some soon. They are very healthy sounding. What is sad is to see all of the family pictures and to realize that so many of them are gone. They had a magical life with "Madam". Grand Jackie fits her best.
Rating: Summary: A Great Book Review: I loved this book! In addition to providing delicious recipes, the author recounts family stories which pay tribute to the Jackie branch of the Kennedy family. Marta's recollections read like an episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," yet throughout, the family always seems warm and down to earth. Also included are many family photos of John, Jr.
