Shelagh Duffet has created and compiled a book as beautiful and joyful as a holiday in her province! This is a book that is not only a tremendous aide to those potluck dinners that are more and more popular in economic restricted times as these, but is as well a cookbook with a heart and soul, with comments from her recipe-gifting friends that purvey a real warmth. The recipes are delectable, the art scrumptious, and the book a must-have for all those desiring a tasty life!

Editorial Review:

A quote from "Ogilvies Book for a Cook" (originally published in 1905) holds true today: "Bad bread can be made from good flour, just as bad flour can be made from good wheat; but good bread cannot be made from bad flour, or good flour from bad wheat."

Editorial Review:

Outdoor Cooking from Tide's Table presents delicious dishes cooked on the barbeque, unusual meals prepared by other outdoor methods, and treats to eat and drink before, during, and after the al fresco adventure. Recipes such as Grilled Tuna Salad combine readily available (though not necessarily familiar) ingredients into dishes that will pique the taste buds of the up-to-date gastronome. At the same time, instructions for making an old-fashioned float or wrapping trout in clay and baking it in a campfire show Ross and Willa's irrepressible love for grown-up variations on childhood favourites. In all, they treat their readers to 185 recipes.
