the kitchen heathen's comments

I am NOT a cook but this amusing book provides an entertaining daydream. Anyone with this sense of humour gets my vote- and I read the book from cover to cover for its short witty anecdotes about famous women. Without cooking anything (yet) it was great fun and I have given it as a present to many people -just for the descriptions. "My Kingdom for a Pizza" "Cleopatras Pearls" "For whom the Chips Toll " etc "Eleanor's Eggs" (Roosevelt) could perhaps do with a witty frozen storage section for our modern misses- but cannibalism isn't included in the book- as yet! I wait for the next edition with baited breath .

Fabulously Funny Feminist Flambes!

This is the most FUN cookbook I've ever read: the recipes are real--easy-to-do and delicious; the snippets about renowned women's lives and the recipe dedications to them are entertaining, intelligent and sly. I've never before encountered a cookbook that I couldn't put down 'til I'd finished reading it! And...I've always KNOWN that I'm right--champagne and chocolate cream pie DO go together!!
