From the front cover: Our man in the kitchen is Hyman Goldberg (formerly Prudence Penny)...writer, jester, bon vivant, and chef extraordinaire, who has created this superb cook book for brides of all ages, beginners and experts, and all who like to laugh over a hot stove! A sampling of what lies within: 411 of the most fabulous recipes ever compiled in one cookbook! Gourmet cooking of the highest order, made easy to prepare and easy to afford. A chapter "On Feasting" giving recipes for 10 complete dinner parties. Another entitled "Kosher Cooking for Our Catholic Cousins on Fridays and Lenten Days." Another called "Spiritual Cookery" containing marvelous concoctions both exotic and down-to-earth. 255 anecdotes, jokes, facts, & fancies--some irrelevant, most irreverent.
