Ruth Pennel and Winnifred Merril are two girls living in Revolutionary War Pennsylvania. They are both Patriots. Ruth overhears a British soldier and is able to help the Patriot army. I highly reccomend the whole Little Maid series.

I first checked this book out of the library and then I bought it. The recipes are fabulous, and I have tried more than half. The ingredients can be difficult to find. At times, I have resorted to the internet to find some obscure ingredients, but I have not been disappointed with a single dish yet. They are really one-of-a-kind five star creations. Im making the Jade Rice recipe again tonight for company.

Authentic Russian black humour in a tradition that includes Gogol, Dostoevsky and Daniil Kharms. The stories are fantastic but never self-indulgently so, and they always bear a relation to real life. 'How I became a fly' --about a shop-assistant who gradually sells off every part of their body to a mysterious stranger -- is especially memorable. The stories are excellently translated.

I love *good* seafood and I am very picky about taste. I have a small collection of ~15 cookbooks and I have looked at over 50+ while browsing in bookstores. I got this cook book as a gamble (you can't browse when you shop online) but because I love seafood and the book was inexpensive, I said "What the heck" and brought it. What I've tried from the book was simply delicious. It's well written, easy to follow, and for the real chefs out there, you can either read it for a skeleton for what you want to make or maybe give you thoughts of different combinations of ingredients you didn't think of or have forgotten about. I normally do not rank many things very highly but this is one of the few that made it to the top of my list. Oh yes, did I mention that the book is less expensive and has better receipes than other more expensive cookbooks out there? One thing I should mention is that it's not just a seafood cookbook. Happy Cooking!

Anne Willan cookbooks are an excellent source of delicious recipies. I have many of her books and I have yet to be disappointed. I am not a natural chef - I work hard to produce nutritious daily meals as well as party fare. These books make the process much easier as the pictures lead me through every step. I would buy many more.

I received this book as a gift and tried almost every recipe in the book ! All recipes are easy to follow, fnu to make, and the results are outstanding ! Every recipe i tried from this book and from other books from the Look&Cook series were excellent and succeeded with no fault and problems ! I recommend this book for beginners and also for advanced cookers who want to enlarge their list of EXCELLENT recipes

I am a pretty decent cook with a library full of cookbooks. Anne Willan's series is by far the best compilation of recipes I have seen. She uses only fresh ingredients and explains the recipes in such clear and visual detail. I highly recommend this entire series for the beginner cook especially but also for the advanced. I have yet to make a recipe that was disappointing. I look forward to getting the complete series some day.

Elaine Lewis is one of those main characters who is more antagonist than protagonist. From the very beginning of the book I hated her, but I so wanted to like her. While her husband Martin is her polar opposite, he was so likable that he almost deserved what Elaine gives him. And it is not in spite of these qualities, but exactly because of them that I truly enjoyed reading Marsha Cook's latest published work.

Love Changes asks a particularly difficult question, fortunately, most of us never have to face. The question of how we handle ourselves when our imagination of a perfect life and the reality of that life collide. For Elaine the collision occurred because her past, one she suppressed and hid, came back to haunt her in the form of her first born son.

I would recommend Love Changes for your vacation or entertainment reading lists. Marsha Cook doesn't preach a message, or try and tear your heart out, while Love Changes does evoke an emotional response it is one that I, as a reader, gladly accepted. Love Changes is an pleasant read, I give it a solid A.

After looking at several cookbooks on low-fat cooking, I bought this one and a few others from other authors. I've always loved soups and stews, but have never been much of a cook. This author's book was the best I tried.

I've made many of the recipes in this book and have liked all of them. The meals have all been low-fat and low-sodium, but because of the well-chosen seasonings and flavors, are very tasty and satisfying. The key to the recipes is the choice of seasonings. The recipes have blended low-fat and low-sodium ingredients into wonderful combinations.

All of the recipes are very different from each other, giving me a wide variety of meals. I also appreciate that the book shows color photos of many of the meals, and all the recipes have the calorie count, fat amount, sodium amount, etc. shown.

Because I've liked all of the recipes I've tried so far from this book, I've also bought most of the other books in this same series and have been pleased with all of them.
