Perfect Hostess
lynnescountrykitchen.net









If you love good food, you can cook good food. If you love novel and interesting food, you can cook novel and interesting food. In short, this is a collection of recipes from a group of remarkable gourmets compiled (and a number invented) by me for the timid gourmet who believes that only in expensive, high-toned restaurants, is fine food to be had.

There is no reason to fear any recipe, no matter how elaborate the finished product. For in all cooking there are just a certain number of things that you do -- processes that are called by name; to stir, to beat, to fold, to baste, to fry, to broil, to sift, to measure, to blend, to simmer, to peel, to sauté. The average amateur cook, even the "plain cook," has heard of these. It is the manner in which they are used that makes all the difference between fine food and dull, uninteresting food.
