Absolute BEST cookbook!

Truly every recipe I've made from this cookbook is wonderful! Having moved away from the Pacific Northwest, I also find the author's notes by each recipe make me especially nostalgic! That aside...the food is delicious, and there are recipes for every taste!

I bought this book at a winery in Napa in 1998 and have used it until it's nearly worn out. Recipes are easy to follow and don't require a lot of time. Everything I've ever tried is great. My family especially loves the salads and dressings. Sorry, Maryana, but I have shared some of your recipes at guest requests, but now I'm going to buy several copies for hostess and holiday gifts, and I'm going to replace my copy while I'm at it!
Delicious recipes that don't require a million ingredients!

The best feature of this cookbook is that it uses simple ingredients. I especially like the soup and salad (and salad dressing) recipes, though I have also had success with the main courses and desserts. I have given this book as a gift to several of my GenX-aged friends because the recipes are simple enough for beginning cooks, but my mom and their moms seem to like it, too.
