Summary: 80's rehash
Review: I have purchased my second copy. This is a book to share with friends. Many innovative, yet easy to fix, dishes. This book has been a major addition to my collection.

Summary: Flavors, indeed
Review: I really enjoy the recipes in this book. There is a wide variety of things to make. An imaginative use of different vinegars. The bean salads (esp. the black-eyed peas -- addictive) are excellent, as are the desserts. As a vegetarian, there are a ton of recipes I can make. The meat-based recipes sound really good, too.I used to frequent her shop in Manhattan, I bought it because it was there that I tasted *the* best hummus ever -- as a vegetarian, hummus gets boring after a while. Alas, this recipe is not in the book.

Summary: A nice summary of '90s popular cooking.
Review: Morgan covers a variety of popular 1990s dishes in a nicely laid-out volume. The writing style, however, lacks the usual warmth that is characteristic of her co-author, Michael McLaughlin. I bought the book because of McLaughlin's name on the title page, and while I think it is generally OK, I definitely miss his usual imprint.

Summary: 80's rehash
Review: This book contains recipes which might have smacked of innovation 15 years ago, but now seem tired and might be more appropriate for the pages of Good Housekeeping than from a self professed cutting edge New York City catering operation. Don't waste your money on the book.
