Jeannette's secrets of everyday good cooking

By Jeannette Seaver
Knopf : distributed by Random House - 1975

This is another of my Desert Island Cookbooks. I love this book! Seaver is a working French worman, married to an American, striving to maintain her French standards for meals and the preparation of food. We must have 3-course, family meals. The food is great. I don't think I've made one recipe we didn't like. The chapter on leftovers is wonderful.

There are chapters on
- The basics (doughs, sauces, salads, etc.)
- Family dinners (menus)
- Small dinner parties (up to 8)
- Large parties
- Things to do with leftovers
