• WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO RATE b/c THEY NEVER SHIP IT!!!!

After THREE attempts to buy this book I give up. This is ridiculous! Why are they selling this book on Amazon if they can't keep it stocked??????

• Ugly--But Delicious and Worth Their Weight in Gold
  This book is a bit of a heartbreaker in these tight economic times: The best truffles--the revered white truffles of Alba, in Northern Italy--were going for about [ninety dollars] an ounce the last time I looked, or dared to look.

• Another great cookery book by Judith Sutton
  For years, Chef/Writer Sutton has guided my choice of cookery books through her book reviews and articles. Now her latest work--I often turn to her previous piece on champagne and chocolate--is a joy to behold. Beautiful, well-conceived. And the recipes, etc. are also great. Good reading. Good eating. Great gift. The best cookery book of the year.
