This book can be for the new wife who has just invited her inlaws for dinner. This is a real stress-buster of a cookbook.
Besides the usual contents of a cookbook, such as weights and measures and substitutes and equivalents, I do a store list for each full meal, a table prayer if you need one, short stories that will make you laugh, complete recipes instructions and tips I have learned the hard way, believe me!
I give the cook a time line on when to do what so that he or she doesn't end up with the potatoes not cooked and the roast overdone.
There are suggestions for linens and centerpieces.
Some of the dinners are theme dinners, such as a Superbowl menu and a forth of July picnic and all of it is made easy and fun. (75+ pages and room for your own notes.) You'll enjoy this book like no other.
