The first page of the book will give you an index of the recipes put together to give you help in choosing what to cook for any occasion. You can choose from 35 menus.

The menus vary from a small crowd to a large party of 50. It will help you prepare for an Aprés-ski soup party or a family reunion.

There are no pictures in the book, which is a shame, as I think these are a good help, when preparing any dish for the first time. Also, make sure you have cup measures at hand.

The dishes I have cooked from this book have all been a success, and I especially like the notes about what you can prepare in advance – a great help when cooking for large groups of people.
