Exquisite Recipes and Fun to read, too!,
By
This review is from: The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook (Paperback)
Ive been cooking with _Joy of Cooking_ for a long time now. _Joy_ makes reference to a chapter in this book, "Murder in the Kitchen," as a sort of primer on how to 'murder' a carp in the kitchen before cooking. I decided, on a whim, to buy the book.I had no idea that having this new cookbook would be so rewarding! Alice Toklas has some INCREDIBLE recipes in here (Scheherezade Melon being a favorite!), all of which should be tried and enjoyed. Furthermore, this book contains recipes you simply wont find in other, newer, cookbooks. My girlfriend really summed this book up by suggesting that the recipes in this book are the recipes you know exist -- but are being passed from grandmother to granddaughter; you simply dont get these unless youre in that circle of people. This cookbook is your way in to exquisite dishes that were prepared for the likes of Gertrude Stein, Hemmingway, Picasso, and Matisse. That, and where else are you going to find a recipe for Hashish Fudge? This book has my whole-hearted, overwhelming approval.

I particularly recommend the Egg Nog of the Commonwealth Club of Richmond, VA. My husband made this for a party at a friend's house, and everybody loved it! This is the best egg nog I ever tasted, and I have tasted a few.
