Book of New New England Cookery or Best Recipes from Americas Food Festivals

Book of New New England Cookery

Author: Judith Jones

The Book of New New England Cookery is not only the most complete book written about food and recipes of these six northeastern states—with three times the recipes of its leading competitors—but is also the first to include recipes of the many non-Yankee cuisines that have so enlivened and expanded the traditional repertoire. Not merely a great regional cookbook, it is also one of the best general volumes any cook can possess.

Makes you feel as though you're peering into someone's recipe box. Only it's more like a recipe library, with more than 900 of them . . . The book is a treasure, and all the more charming for having recipes for both porcupine meatballs and Greek meatballs, along with maple tea cakes and lemon cardamom cookies in the space of a single work.

Guests without Grief: Entertaining Made Easy for the Hesitant Host

Author: Paula Jhung

Domestic advice maven Paula Jhung (How to Avoid Housework) provides more practical help in Guests Without Grief: Entertaining Made Easy for the Hesitant Host. Borrowing from Thoreau, she begins with the suggestion to simplify, and then (with more humor), she explains how to have a company-clean home (clean what shows) and an organized, uncluttered kitchen. She tells how a host can buy flowers without breaking the budget, hire a caterer, feed a throng and put it all together while having fun and without falling apart. Anecdotes, amusing quotes and quizzes add spirit and dash.
