Summary: Good basic recipes for guests or family
Review: This book is beautifully laid out with color photos on every page and a menu-style format. But the recipes are the real stars...tasty versions of traditional American favorite dishes. Nothing too exotic, just delicious basic food that will suit most guests' tastes. The recipes are from the Lion House restaurant in Salt Lake City, an extension of the Mormon Church. Content ranges from casual get-together fare like Baked Chili with Cornbread Muffins to elegant dishes such as Prime Rib and Crown Roast of Pork. Especially good recipes for several different homemade rolls and salads. All recipes use fairly basic ingredients that you can get at any store and methods are usually simple, but results look "gourmet". There is also a chapter on entertaining basics like table settings.
