Culinary Artistry - Mare749 - 01-23-2007
Arrived yesterday....spent the rest of the evening totally absorbed. I'm so glad I ordered it. This is a book to guide people who are adventurous and don't always want to follow a recipe. The menus are inspiring and creative. I love the idea of small dishes. We're not good at dieting in my house, so our goal for the new year has been smaller portions, and more variety which helps us feel more satisfied, but less stuffed. This book definately makes me want to play.

I just tracked mine and it isn't due here until about the 30th since I opted for free shipping. Can't wait to get it!

Nice review, Maryann---guess I will succumb (AGAIN) and order it NOW before I convince myself that I don't NEED another cooking tome!!!

LOL Roxanne, it's not a tome, at least. The one I ordered is softcover and about 1"-1 1/2" thick. Your postage won't be too outrageous.

OHHH___BUT I am going to send to my Mom's address in Mass and will carry with me when I return to South Africa---won't that be a good read???? I don't sleep on those trips so maybe I can be a little more inventive and won't HE be surprised!!!!

I love this book. I've taken it to school several times when we have to choose our own side dishes. You should get their other book --What to Drink with What you Eat. I have that one too

Denise, I was hesitant to bring the next one up too soon!! it's a great reference source also! Love both of them.
