1999-08-01 Outrageously excellent!

I had worked through three lessons and invited friends for the Lesson # 4. They liked the idea so much that my friend's husband bought her the book and we teamed up with a plan to work through all 90 lessons, alternating as hostesses and dividing up the dishes. We invite a couple of friends to act as 'guinea pigs.' We request guest comments and autographs on the menu page. We are now on Lesson # 10. The guests we had for the ninth lesson want to join us in the culinary fun also. So, this order is for yet another copy of the book. Alternating three hostesses, we may finish the next 80 lessons sometime in the coming decade! I recommend the book to anyone who loves to cook. It is NOT a low-calorie cookbook. (Some menus use cream in two or even three dishes.) It is an delicious way to master the classic recipes and techniques and makes a fun Gourmet Club when done with friends.
