This is one of the half dozen cook books I brought to china with me. There are only a few recipes in this book and each includes "Le Secret", "Aventure Club", "Garnish", "Suggested Accompaniments", "Notes", "Alternatives", "Music to Cook By" and "Wine". It's an entertaining cook book to read! Two of my favourite recipes are Chez Bob's Caesar Salad and California Carbonara. He also has good instructions for making a martini - I'll have mine extra-dry, with vodka and several olives. ( )

a cookbook with a sense of humor! 25 recipes each with original & surreal artwork! recipes are easy & each recipe has suggestions such as accompaniments, wines, extra stuff you can add to the recipe 2 add an additional dimention 2 the recipe, also a key ingredientor step 2 give extra attention to. the book also has a blank wine journal in the back 4 you 2 list the wines you buy. plus alot of extra stuff in the back. fun book!
