I love this book! The only drawback to it is that it can feel a bit dated.

Any cookbook that has at least one really good recipe works for me. I haven't tried much out of this one, but the Cassoulet recipe has gotten used multiple times. Yeah, you can argue that it's not a "proper" cassoulet, but then it is a *really* good stew of chicken and white beans. So there. I'm keeping my copy. :)

Surprisingly disturbing, just in the things it makes you think about. But a good read overall!

I would score this one if I didn't have my own and hadn't already found one for my sister. I've only tried a few recipes from this cookbook, but they were easy, family-friendly and delicious! If you want a great Chicken a la King recipe, it's in here.

The Velveteen Rabbit...A Tale of Love
Review Date: 5/16/2006
Helpful Score: 1


This is not the big, weepy "Velveteen Rabbit" story...this is an abridged, "happy" version, where the rabbit helps the child to get better and because of this is given his wish to become a real rabbit. It's a cute book, and suitable for younger children, but we wanted the original.

As an adult, it made me laugh out loud. I read it to my daughters, and they thought it was hysterical. (Admittedly, some of that may have been due to my attempts to give the Nac Mac Feegles a good, pseudo-Scottish brogue. I thank Billy Connolly for inspiration if any of it sounded even remotely correct.)
