Take a Thousand Eggs or More, but be sure to get both volumes.  The second
volume is a veritable treasure trove for those who wish to do their own
experimenting.  Literally hundreds of unredacted recipes.  The first volume is
a great help when putting together feasts on the fly when you don't have weeks
to practice with a new recipe.  And there are a couple of dishes in Vol I that
bear closer scrutiny and a re-redacting.  

Just my tuppence worth.

Walk in peace,
