Shop Notes:
This cookbook puts a bit more emphasis on party planning, but what is striking about this cookbook is that the recipes themselves would still feel comfortable on the modern table. Most dishes have an interesting mix of savory umami, fruit, and other interesting flavors, yet still reflect the simple preparation steps that are so (thankfully) common in the Junior League cookbooks.
Also, this copy was racing into the future as one of the first books to also be offered in digital format (CD-ROM, which is a CD one would put into a computer for those who are old enough to forget and/or those who are too young to remember...of which I am neither).
