New Firefighter's Cookbook
Firehouse cookbooks seem to have some sort of enduring fascination, and the first edition of this one sold more than 300,000 copies. Now Sineno, a retired New York City firefighter, presents those recipes plus 50 new ones, both his own and those contributed from fire departments as far away as Italy (the recipes from Rome come complete with wine suggestions). Although the recipes vary quite a bit, most are both cheap and quick to prepare. The collection is like a community cookbook of sorts, with headnotes and instructions in the contributors' own voices; there are anecdotes from Sineno and other firefighters as well. For most collections.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
