Gift to a friend

The book was originally printed in 1984. It was used and in great condition. My friend was delighted to receive the book. It was actually the first book he used when he developed his interest in cooking. It was like reuniting two old friends. His favorite recipe is Osso Buco. My friend believes this to be one of the best cookbooks ever written. He now owns all of R. Carrier's cookbooks.
