Delicious Meals and Thoughtful Presentation
The author has hit that sweet spot with well designed — but quick and easy — recipes while presenting much-appreciated tips that add to the fun and reward of creating a delicious meal. Can’t wait to try more of the recipes in this delightful book!
Food fit for James Bond!
This book is a well-written tome about the joys of 1960s cooking. It harkens back to an era when real people cooked real food without an attitude. It’s the “foodtrack” for the Mad Men series. Love this book. A real classic! If James Bond were a home cook, this is what he’d serve to Moneypenny.
For bachelorettes, too!
Great classic recipes with photos of the food. Now I can compare my dishes with the pictures. Hope they turn out just as appetizing.
