Vatican Cookbook

"The ""Vatican Cookbook"" is a beautifully illustrated book with interesting infor-mation about the origin of some of the recipes, including favorites of popes. Most of the recipes can be easily prepared with commonly available ingredients. I especially like the ""Basic Recipes"" section near the end of the book, which also serves as a ""teaching section"" highlighting foods served as parts of different meals. This cookbook will become one of my favorites in my collection of cookbooks!"

— Mary T. (5/5)
