Summary: Fabulous seasonal food
Review: All of these recipes will encourage one to begin cooking with a fervor - no matter what the season! All ingredients are seasonal ... but uniquely combined. But, be warned! These recipes are not for the mom-on-the-go. They are time consuming.

Summary: outstanding recipes make any meal a special occasion!
Review: Alright, these recipes are not nutritionally-correct. Many are high on fats and sugars. But when you want a special dish to really "wow" your guests, or to celebrate a special occasion, this is the book you'll turn to! Not only are the recipes great, but the sidebars have lots of useful tips for serving and entertaining. This is one of the two or three most used cookbooks in my collection!

Summary: Yummmmmm
Review: The recipe for Chocolate Raspberry Cake alone is worth the price of this book.Then there's the St. Nicholas Cake, a fruity cake for the holidays and Eggnog French Toast and Lamb Stew with Lemon and Olives. Recipes have some unusual ingredients sometimes, but you can often track them down without too much trouble. The book is beautifully organized by the seasons. You'll find fancier illustrations elsewhere, but you won't find better recipes for entertaining. Rosse and Lukins developed these recipes for their shop in New York City and each one that I've tried is a hit. So many cookbooks have mediocre recipes but you can depend on this one.

Summary: Fancier and more festive than the original.
Review: This book contains some of the most creative and tasty food I've ever found in a cookbook. I like it even better than The Silver Palate Cookbook, mostly because I cook for special occasions but also because I've had better luck with the recipes. The book is arranged seasonally, with suggested menus for specific celebrations. This, along with the homey illustrations make it a staple in my kitchen. Oh, and try the Garlic and Arrugula soup, it is TO DIE!
