The Gourmet Cookbook: More than 1000 recipes

By Zanne Early Stewart, Ruth Reichl, John Willoughby

This is an excellent cookbook with recipes for everything from home cooking to truly gourmet choices. However, I do have one complaint. I bought my copy when it first came out and someone (who should have known better) decided to match the yellow cover with yellow ink for the recipe titles. In poor light, they are completely unreadable. I am pretty sure I am not the only one who was annoyed because later editions have darker ink.

But the recipes (when I can find them) are excellent.
