Title: lengthy title, EXCELLENT recipes
Review: This is my kind of book--amusing anecdotes from an offbeat mind splashed with a variety of tasty recipes. Al Sicherman is an admitted chocoholic ( and food columnist) so the dessert recipes are GOOOOOOD! This is a collection of his diversely-themed columns, so you can find "mom-style" food (my husband has adopted the chicken and dumpling recipe as his own) just pages away from the junk-food clones. If you prefer your cookbooks traditional, divided by course and teamed with impossibly perfect pictures (whose food ever looks like that! ) you will be disappointed and quickly frustrated. If, however, you believe food is fun, should taste good and hold no pretensions then beg, borrow or buy this book. Look for Al's column in your local paper and enjoy the read!
