Long time favorite

I checked out the earlier addition of this book from the library about 30 years ago and loved it. This updated version is even better. There is nothing like setting a dish on fire to impress your friends. Poister's writing style is clever, the illustrations humorous, recipes excellent, and all information meticulously researched. This is one of my all-time favorite recipe books! And this is coming from someone who really doesn't like to drink alcohol much.

If you like fire and cooking this is a must buy!!!

This book is awsome... if its food and it can be put on fire its in here!!! My friend showed this book to me and now i cant stop using the recipes for every meal i cook.. its got everything from omletes to steaks and drinks.. even some cool coffee tricks!!!
