The Stenciled Strawberry Cookbook

Summary: A hard to find gem
Review: The Stenciled Strawberry, by the Junior League of Albany, is a true gem of a cookbook. I have owned this cookbook for over 10 years and I consult it before planning dinner, a party or my Christmas baking. The recipes are not confined to just one specialty, but a collection of recipes handed down thru generations, from local restaurants and even some of locals that have gone on to become household names. Now, what truly makes this cookbook a find is that every recipe contains not only simple instructions but indications of how many people each recipe will serve, how much preparation is involved and whether the recipe can be made ahead of time to be served later. This cookbook should be considered a primer for the kitchen!
