Sterling Service

Summary: Sterling Service is Sterling!!
Review: Dothan Service League along with Wimmer Publishing has provided and excellent cookbook for the "ordinary cook" to present "extraordinary food". I would recommend that this book be a must for every kitchen, from the new bride to the great-grandmother who loves to cook. Many aspects of this cookbook separate it from others community or Jr. League books because it contains the must know "basics" of cooking such as the volume of common baking pans and measures and equivalents. Basing the chapters of the book on actual Sterling silver such as Strausborg(my wife's pattern), Old Master or Chantilly, this book includes beautiful pictures of the silver as well as how to care for it. The chapter Eloquence Extras also includes such simple things (or are they really simple) as making coffe in quantities of up to 100 servings, simple syrup for sweet tea, menu suggestions to include a Silver Anniversary Celebration for 50-75 guests along with favorites such as noodle kugel, tabbouleh, stuffed cabbage and mahmool (difficult to find these in a uniquely southern book). Buffet layouts, table settings, napkin folding and care of linen are also unique. I highly recommend this cookbook for everyone who spends any time in the kitchen.
