If you're anything like me, no matter how many cookbooks you happen
to have in your culinary library, you tend to gravitate toward a select few. This
week I have vowed to drag out some of the dusty oldsters that I've been giving
short shrift and try some new recipes, but for today I'm revisiting a book that
has long been a reliable favorite.
I inherited this cookbook when I
married my husband. It was as well-worn and comfortable as he was, and packed
with interesting notes about dinners past. Check out the price - $5.95!
You can hardly buy a magazine for that price these days. We have yet to
prepare a recipe in this book that hasn't been good, but we haven't tried them all,
so today I tested something different, and, no surprise, it was very good. This easy to prepare, tasty bisque can be served warm or cold, so it's perfect year round.
