A recipe book in menu form, with planned courses and meals for everything from family meals to dinner parties, and from cocktail parties to buffets, "intended for the woman who is both home-maker and hostess." The recipes included range from common to exotic, and even for simple gatherings you'll be hard-pressed to find a boring menu in this collection. A great throwback to the old days when meals were an experience. ( )

Custard for Bouillon Royal, p.262, ok.
