Well, I really doubt I could get a concenus from this group on which
are a set of recommended cookbooks and which are not. The recent 
comments on "Fabulous Feasts" being one example. And I doubt I am
good enough to make that decision myself. I simply try to provide a
selection of opinions and let the reader decide.

If folks want to send me reviews of individual books or groups of books,
I will certainly consider adding such reviews to the Florilegium, either
as seperate articles or as messages to be added to various message files.

I like to get articles for the Florilegium, although I'm afraid I am 
competing against a number of good journals such as "Serve It Forth" for 
these. I will hold articles until they are published in such journals 
if the author requests it.
