About this Item

414 pages: 7 x 10 in.: KB#001554: Reader Review: "With the same spirit and culinary daring that catapulted the first Silver Palate Cookbook into over 700,000 homes, the Good Times Cookbook brings to each season a sense of the memorable. Dinner for two becomes a fireside clambake. Spring is heralded with curry bread and glasses of Chablis. Summer sizzles with swordfish barbecue, while autumn refreshes with wild mushroom forays and the crunch of favorite nuts. And to round out the year, there is the splendid formality of Broiled Oysters with Arugula Puree and an elegant Dacquoise. Throughout, Sheila Lukins's charming illustrations highlight the more than 450 recipes, menus, and unexpected pairings. Sidebars and comments resolve the dilemmas of modern entertaining: whether Beaujolais is lusty enough for lamb, which cheeses start a meal and which end it with a flourish, how to make the presentation of food as lush as the taste."
