5 out of 5 stars Filled with all manner of culinary gems   March 17, 2002
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

For pure fun, it's hard to beat a great book of quotations. Maria Polushkin Robbins doesn't disappoint with this high-class compendium of culinary quotations on everything from strawberries to beer to garlic to roast beef and everything in between. Some of the gems included herein:

"I'm a Christian, but that doesn't mean I'm a long-faced square. I like a little bourbon."
- LILLIAN CARTER

"Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everyone."
- SAMUEL PEPYS

"The cook was a good cook, as cooks go; and as cooks go, she went."
- SAKI (H. H. MUNRO)

In addition to these concise bits, there are longer descriptive passages from novels. What a fun stocking stuffer or Easter basket gift for your favorite cook!
