Nice meals, but boy are they snooty

This is a very decent cookbook (disclaimer: I own the first edition, so maybe it has changed since then), but the real reason to buy it is for its entertainment value. It's a bit like reading Gilderoy Lockhart. For example:"As executive chef at Lord & Taylor, I was often asked to invent dishes for famous guests that lunched in our boardroom. I made this for Sophia Loren. I put a heaping tablespoon of red caviar on top of the salad, and served it with graceful lacquered chopsticks. You can substitute Japanese pickled ginger and a fork."...because you are a clod and can't afford caviar? Many of the other little meals come with similarly breezy commentary. Nothing against the recipes, and I'm sure Rozanne Gold is a very nice person, but wow. Cook from this book for your next party, and then after dinner read from the book to your guests. Guaranteed good time.

If only you could eat like this everyday

I first checked this book out of the library and then I bought it. The recipes are fabulous, and I have tried more than half. The ingredients can be difficult to find. At times, I have resorted to the internet to find some obscure ingredients, but I have not been disappointed with a single dish yet. They are really one-of-a-kind five star creations. Im making the Jade Rice recipe again tonight for company.
