Review: RECIPES SOUND WONDERFUL...

I enjoyed reading these recipes, and can readily understand why they have been family favorites. I'm tempted by the various apple pastries, particularly. Only one recipe for a chocolate cake did not specify the size pan to be used. A number of mousses are made where raw eggs are not cooked, a practice that was common before industrialization brought fears of contamination. Perhaps dehydrated egg whites could be substituted. However, my recommendation is that readers savor these recipes and seek modern equivalents using the flavors provided in this book, especially lime juice. I swear I gained pounds just salivating over this lovely cookbook! Yum!
