A Pot Boiler
Only seconds after I got home with Jacob this morning after yet another great-tricycling-adventure the front door bell was rung by a young man with a parcel! We love parcels so we let him in and signed with abandon, tore great chunks of cardboard apart, wrestled with cellophane and stickytape, and there it was! Stephanie Alexander's the cook's companion 2nd Edition.
I've coveted this book for years. I always figured there was no rush to buy it, I'd buy it next time, it was too heavy to carry right now etc etc. And then poof! Gone! Out of print! I am now glad I missed out because the 2nd edition is not only full of stephanie alexander's culinary wisdom but GORGEOUS to look at, with a stunning cover, SILVER-edged paper and pretty orange and silver place-markers. Gorgeous AND encyclopaedic! I've come over all trembly....
