Review # 1 was written on 2009-11-19 00:00:00 John Doe I read cookbooks a lot like I read novels, digesting every morsel and description. I searched out this cookbook after making one of the recipes featured in it that was saved from a newspaper food section. This doesn't disappoint and I've put it on my wish list to own, once I do get it I think I'll start cooking at the front and work my way through it. I'm anxious to check out her other books. If you are looking for simple techniques that come together quickly, help yourself to this.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-08-22 00:00:00 Harry Dickson This is a fabulous cookbook. Sadly, the author died the same month the book was published, which I feel is part of why there aren't more people who know about it, and the others in the series. She was the first female chef at the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC. She knows her stuff. In this book, she pares recipes down to their absolute essence, eliminating any unnecessary steps or ingredients. Her goal was meals that could be prepared in three steps, with about 30 minutes cooking time, and no more than 8 ingredients. Some of my family's favorite meals are from the books in this series. We just say "It's a Leslie recipe" as shorthand for "it's good." I wish more people knew about her.
