Customer Reviews

This is one of my favorite cookbooks.

This is one of my favorite cookbooks. So many times I have bought cookbooks and never used them. This one is about simple to make, elegant, delicious food. I have made many of the recipes and have loved them all. Supposedly the author had been writing down favorite recipes for friends and decided to publish them after doing it so many times. And who wouldn't want a friend with great taste to give them all their favorite recipes? I also bought this for my daughter who is 30 and she loves it too.

Simple and Elegant Home Cooking

Linda Allard's recipes are easy to prepare yet impressive, homey yet sophisticated, comforting yet healthy. The book functions like a modern cooking primer. The text is charmingly hand lettered and the illustrations are richly watercolored by Ms. Allard. It would make a lovely gift for a new cook or anyone who enjoys simple home cooking.
