From DJ:
Mrs Hazelton is expert in the food of many countries. A traditional Italian, French, and German gourmet (as her best sellers in these cuisines attest), she cooks as she knows best … a goose with lemon and gooseberries, for instance. And she reveals with sharp wit and sometimes outrageous opinion what she has learned as a hostess … how to manage difficult guests, handle the inebriated, and serve wine without elaborate nonsense.
The chapters in this book reveal the variety and practicality of her knowledge: desserts for guests, cooking for two with fresh food, the difference between American and European ingredients, how to find your way among cookbooks, how to use your kitchen to soothe, to heal, and to cheat … with recipes to match.
Mrs Hazelton’s choice recipes … 160 of them … appear at the end of chapters on each country:
From Rome, an Amatriciano sauce
From England, Lady Sysonby’s mild cold curry
From Brazil, Feijoada completa
From France, a perfect cassoulet
And she tells how perfectly adaptable the recipes are for a variety of American occasions:
For large family gathering, Texas hot pepper cornbread
For two or six or eight, a perfect rare roast beef
For a small dinner party, mango chicken or Flemish asparagus
For Christmas, an exceptional but painless menu
