Synopsis
For beginners and seasoned cooks alike, The Gourmet Cookbook is an eloquent, essential companion in the kitchen - one that will take its place among the classic cookbooks of our generation., For the past six decades, Gourmet magazine has shaped the tastes of America, publishing the best work of the foremost names in the world of food.

Many were developed exclusively for Gourmet's test kitchens. Others came from renowned food writers and chefs and from the magazine's far-flung readers. Then the editors embarked on an extraordinary series of cook-offs to find the most unforgettable dishes, testing and retesting each one to ensure impeccable results. This collection, the only one of its kind, spans a vast range of cultures and cuisines.

    Happy day for me. This guy is a terrific eBay seller, and I saw how 'he cares' in every facet of the transaction. Quickly responded to a question I asked him via chat, and that made me confident. Package arrived today, on time, and had a very safe trip, because of the extra layers of protection and wrapping. It's in perfect condition and exactly as described. The price he asked was totally fair. Check out his shop!

He was so quick with fixing his mistake and answered very promptly. We need more sellers like this one ! Thank you for everything ! Love the earrings he even lowered the price for me ! Thank you again
