They're Not Just for Lunch Anymore!

BRAND NEW!

With this book, The Cookbook Ladies, Gwen McKee and Barbara Moseley, give cooks a little inspiration to master at home three categories of foods so often enjoyed in restaurants.

Soups, Salads and Sandwiches boasts 413 outstanding recipes that range from quick grab-and-go to family meals to elegant entertaining.

SOUPS

• You'll find 112 soup recipes that range from a thin broth to a full, hardy stew. This collection of recipes offers a pleasing first course to the meal, as well as a hearty soup that could be the main meal. We have broadened the soup chapter to include chowders, gumbos, bisques, and stews.

SALADS
• The 108 recipes in the salad section offer a variety of salads and dressings that will provide an almost endless range of tastes and textures. From the classic Cobb, Waldorf, and Caesar, to salads that are particularly appropriate for a picnic setting, to salads that feature fruit and offer a refreshingly light texture, to salads that contain chicken, ham, beef, pork, or shrimp that will elevate the salad to full meal status...we've come a long way from salads that were simply lettuce and tomatoes.

SALAD DRESSINGS
• Also included in the salad section is a wide range of recipes for salad dressings. Some of these 61 recipes are intended for a particular salad...others are for salads in general. Each dressing recipe is intended to bring a special spark...one that somewhat alters the texture while enhancing the taste.

SANDWICHES

• Sandwiches have come a long way since the Earl of Sandwich wanted his meat put between bread slices so he wouldn't get his fingers greasy. Almost 250 years later, the sandwich has become the most convenient and commonly prepared quick meal. We have included a variety of sandwiches from simple lunch box favorites to fancy tea sandwiches, and from wraps and pockets to dogs and burgers.

SEASONINGS

• We wanted you to have our best recipes for some popular seasonings that we especially enjoy, including Cajun, Bay, Greek, Taco, Italian, and Salad Supreme.

SWEETS

• And for no other reason than we like desserts, we've put in a few in a special Sweets chapter, just in case you share our taste for a bite of something sweet after your meal.

We hope Fast & Fabulous Soups, Salads and Sandwiches will bring new enjoyment to your kitchen, and plant some ideas for you to use these recipes as a springboard to an even more spectacular creation of your own.

As always, our bottom line is all about taste, taste, and taste!
