Well, that was fast! My first order placed at the Las Vegas Market, on Monday, arrived today!

I brought in the last two, in the six-series line of The Gathering of Friends Cookbooks.

I’m always amazed by how many of my customers have collected all or part of the series and love them!

Expert and novice cooks appreciate the simple lists of ingredients and delicious results.

Each recipe is designed to serve 6 and each chapter covers an entire meal (often seasonal) along with pictures of each recipe and of tablescape ideas.

There’s a 7th volume due out later this year, but for now, you’ll never go wrong, giving any of these books, as a gift. ($32/each)

Now, if you’re one of the three male readers of my blog, I have a tip for you. I probably wouldn’t actually give a cookbook of any kind to your sweetheart. She may take it as a suggestion that she should work harder to feed your belly! My ex-husband once said to me, after sitting down to a quickly prepared meal, that wasn’t to his liking, “You have all those cookbooks and this is the best you can do?”

Maybe I’m just overly sensitive?

How did I get so off-topic?

Well, any who, if your man wisely visits the shop, I’ll do my best to steer him in the right direction!
