This is a gorgeous large-sized, full-color picture for every recipe cookbook by the Culinary Institute of America with text by Martha Rose Shulman. These to me seemed to be in two categories: ridiculously simple (blue cheese on halved fresh figs) to ridiculously complex with hard to find ingredients. After pouring over it for a month, I still haven’t found one to cook. After spending a week in Valencia eating great food, I really wanted a Spanish cookbook (really one devoted to rice dishes). This is a beautiful and fun to look at cookbook, but for me, not a practical one.
